Author Topic: LOTR: Return of the King will have 3 DTS discs Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 09-10-2003 08:52 PM                        List price on the XD-10 is $6,950.  |  IP: Logged Kevin Wale Expert Film Handler Posts: 167 From: Guymon, OK USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-11-2003 12:25 AM                     quote: Has Peter Jackson been to a movie lately? Does he not know many audience members will be drinking oil-drum sized sodas while his movie plays? That makes me think of the Animaniacs episode where whacko got an extra large coke at the movie theatre. He came in, sat in the middle, after much effort and excuse me pardon mes, and sucked the thing down in seconds. He then had an epiphony that he had to pee. So, back to the excuse me pardon me I've got to potty thing, and the chase for a bathroom is on. From the lobby to the gas station down the street("Can I use your potty?" "Ok, but it hasn't been cleaned in weeks." "That's ok, I've got to potty." "WELL I CAN'T POTTY IN THERE!!!!" Finally he pottys and excuse me pardon mes back to his seat. As many times as I get asked "Where are your bathrooms?" That skit gets funnier and more relvant to me every day.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-11-2003 09:11 AM                     When Peter Jackson is watching the film in his screening room, he can just have the film stoped untill he gets back. He doesn't understand that theaters don't do that for everyone.  |  IP: Logged Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-11-2003 10:43 AM                     He understands, he just doesn't care. Preservation of his "Vision" is all important. Well, don't stand for it .. INSIST on an Intermission.

With disc chance during intermission, no problems at all. -Right or wrong ? Depends if the files for each reel are in order.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-11-2003 01:44 PM                     Michael, there would be no need for dts to jumble the order of reels for LOTR3. The capacity on 3 discs is far above and beyond how long it could possibly be.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-11-2003 04:47 PM                     "Potty Emergency" is the only Animaniacs episode I've seen. It's hilarious. Maybe we should run it at the start of LOTR 3.  |  IP: Logged Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-11-2003 05:33 PM                     New Line doesn't care, all that's important is their "vision" of their bottom-line. There .. that better??

Except maybe the theatres, who might have to lose that 1:00 AM show.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-11-2003 06:32 PM                        Special offer or not - Happy with DTS or not I have never ever yet thrown away anything, that works, and I am not going to this time either. Once again: Ask around the cinema once and a while (during intermission, maybe ) If one out of a thousand has noticed the seventh channel, You're lucky. Next step will not be selling more tickets.

The extra concession sales with an intermission might, indeed, help make up a little for lost shows, if this film turns out to be well over three hours. I'm guessing it won't, tho I have -nothing- to base that on, other than NewLine's desire to make extended versions of LOTR 1 and 2 to rake in more cash. As long as it sells, why not? I don't think they'll blow the whole wad in December. I wouldn't. Always leave 'em wanting more! Ron Yost  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-11-2003 09:49 PM                     I have Potty Emmergency on one of my archive videos. It's Great! The cup Wakko sucks down is half as tall as he is and reads "Abyss Boy" on the side! Ahhh. If any animated tv program ever deserved a DVD set it was this. I miss the Animaniacs.  |  IP: Logged Kevin Wale Expert Film Handler Posts: 167 From: Guymon, OK USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-11-2003 10:20 PM                     It'd be great if WB would put that on 35 mil so theatre's could play it. I think it would be great introducing all the shows. I love Animaniacs and Tiny Toons. Those two and all the original Loony Tunes need to be on DVD really bad!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 09-12-2003 07:21 AM                        Just for the record, I finally found some time at night without an audience do try the ejecting thing on the dts-6, and it did not work. Just as some here had predicted.  |  IP: Logged
