Well, provided it is a quality footage. I was just amazed at the sheer length of it. No way anyone would sit through that in a cinema.
Thank goodness for DVD. You can just skip the scenes you do not want to watch.
When I am in a bad mood, I watch the prologue to FOTR. I cannot understand one thing, however – how did they not include the scene where Isildur puts on a ring and disappears. In the Theatrical Cut it does not make much sense, because you cannot see how exactly the ring betrayed Isildur, whereas it is obvious in the EE.

It will be worth the wait, I assure you. Have a look on the official Lord of the Rings site and see the trailer. Very cool. You'll need to have Quicktime player installed though, because unfortunately the Lord of the Rings guys all use those wretched Macs .... which is not so cool.

MC, if you preorder now, it ships on the 14th. I kow that this is past the official get-it-to-Europe-by-Christmas safety date (Dec 8; for shame, New Line), but you still have a shot. Anyway, they must have a factory somewhere over there, probably in England, for the Region 2 stuff, right?

Every once in a while I forget about region-specific DVDs (among other dilusions) and pretend that the entertainment industry isn't so horrible.

It is unbelievable. I paid for legitimate DVDs in Japan and if it weren't for a special region-free program on my computer, I'd be unable to watch them here in Korea. KOREA! It's right next door. Yet for some reason, Japan uses the same regional coding as Europe and... South Africa. Go figure.
If it's to stop piracy, then it's a waste of time. The pirate DVD trade is soaring over here. I've seen it for myself.
This is the thing about DVD pirates, CD pirates and heck, even guys sailing the seven seas with parrots on their shoulders...
they will keep doing what they do and will always find a way to do it. And it doesn't matter what the entertainment industry does to stop it. So the only people who are hurt by DVD regional coding are people who legitimately purchase DVDs in one country and then try to watch them in another.
On a more positive thought - just another seven or so weeks to go before the DVD we've all been waiting* for comes out.
*Well, the DVD that Creaux and myself have been waiting for.

Well, that is the problem here. I got my DVDs from England. As I am decidedly anti-credit card and I never intend to own one, I cannot order them myself with delivery to Poland. I get my friend in London to order them for me, and even if he receives them on 14th in London, he still must pack and post it. From experience I know that there is no point sending anything before Christmas, takes ages to get here. So best I can get is mid January.
And yes Poland fortunately is region 2, the same as the rest of Europe.
And Jordan - they do not have special Edition of full screen, I believe.
