Hard to believe I am only now seeing the last bit of Lord of the Rings care of the state arm of the pro-orc-killing forces amongst us. Last night in the first period of LOTR part III, there was some orc slaughtery but too much gooey doe eyed lovey-dovey. Not much chance of figuring out who is going to with the three stars of orc murderousness with Liv Tyler on screen. But what better gift at Yule is there than the sight of black blood of orcs being spilled in large numbers? In preparation for tonight's bathing in orc carcass parts, I give you Queen's classic "Ogre Battle" from the classic of the pre-pop era of the band, Queen II. Lyrics here. Only NSFW if you happen to work in a orc-loving den of evil...or if you have occupational health and safety rules against really high-pitched rocking out male singing.
And, yes, it is another excruciatingly slow 3.9 MB .wma download. But why are you so impatient? Must you rock immediately? At this instant?

I was watching that too last night for the first time and got pissed that they cut it off when it was getting real good. Damn CBC giving us a cliff-hanger. I see it as enticement. A method of watch us and we'll slip in a little propoganda during the commercials.

My dear wife treated me to the extended version DVDs of all three of the LOTR movies over the last three Christmases. The orc-slaughter is incredible with surround-sound on and the bass up high .. :-D

I refuse to watch any movie in fullsceen. Instead, as I already own the first movie on DVD (in full WIDEscreen aka letterbox format)I ordered the secon from futureshop.ca for $10 and am picking up the third this week elsewhere (zellers) for the same number of sheckels. I have waited far too long for my family to buy them for me (much prompting WAS made at birthday and Xmas times...)

Widescreen all the way, definitely.

I was just out at the Mall (shudder) and popped in to HMV to check out their DVD sales. I found it interesting that while the widescreen version of Serenity is on a 2 for $30 deal, the fullscreen version is $5.99.

Oh yeah, I did get "Firefly" series dvd.
CBC ran the theatrical version, Al. More orc bloodiness and less doe-eyedness in the full length version.

Sorry I'm late to the party. I watched this with my mother, who had only seen the first one. The woman surprised me with her blood lust.
