Dear Peter Jackson

[mimesere]

I own all three theatrical versions. I own all three extended editions (with the statues and such that came with them). I own all three special editions of the cds. I own the movie cover versions of all the books. I HAVE GIVEN YOU ENOUGH OF MY GODDAMN MONEY. And the only reason I did both versions of the movies is because you didn't duplicate material.

And now, *now* you are releasing *yet another* version of the movies with new supplemental material? Not on, PJ. Not on at all. That is almost George Lucas levels of dickery.

No love,
S.

P.S. James Purefoy is remarkably pretty in this movie and he is not usually someone I find attractive.

P.P.S. Oh god, I think I am 'shipping George and Princess Luna.

My response to seeing the ads for the first time tonight was basically "...new documentaries? Oh, fuck you, Peter."

Also, yes.

It's just so *frustrating*. I mean, I'm probably not going to buy them because that would be overkill, but yeah.

SERIOUSLY. And they're not even waiting, like, decent intervals.

I think I shall wait until their Super-Duper-Special Eight-Year Anniversary edition. You know, the one that will be, "now with extra video of hobbits making out." Or something.

*giggling* That seems like a good plan! I'm sure they will be released in a special box, with all the books, and some more statues, and it will be like a billion dollars.

I just kept pointing at Patrick Swayze and saying: "Look a mullet!"

I really want to own that film. It was funny. I hear you on the George and Luna 'ship. It needs to happen.

It was *fantastic*. Cheesy and wonderful in all the right ways!

But George is cute!

And it has Val Kilmer! Uncredited!

Heee!

I'm enjoying the hell out of this, in the "give me enough alcohol and it's sufficiently funny" kind of way.

George was adorable and wry! And Val Kilmer was indeed in it! I pointed and squealed happily because hi, hi, Madmartigan, hi.

I appear to have missed the memo. Link?

I don't have a link handy, but PJ is re-releasing the movies on dvd *again* with new documentaries and such. The commercials aired all during Dragon Sword.

Are we positive that it's PJ who's behind this new release, and not New Line and/or Miramax trying to squeeze more bucks out of it? I mean, I'm sure Pete's not complaining, but is he to blame for this new folly?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Mostly I am blaming him for the new documentaries.

*grumps*
