There was this interview (I think in New York, not sure) where PJ asked the audience to stand up and not to sit down until he counted up to the no. of times they watched it. There was one lady who reportedly said she got up to 31. PJ then told her that his only worry is that she might miss the 5:30 show.

BTW, 'watched it 8 times on the big screen. Half those times I had to be bribed with a free ticket by different friends who wanted me around for Q&A.

Seen it 4 times so far. Am saving the fifth time for the end of March so I can catch the TT trailer.

oooohhhh. Free ticket!!!!!!! Now I would like one of them.

will be going to see it again when trailer is put on the end but will miss it's first viewing as i will be in egypt!
:( :p

But I'm going to go see it again real soon! :)

im waiting until the re-release to see it again in theatres, im going to make it an even ten and then stop.

okay i'm done with the spanish now lol

how did you get it on your comp? and how long did it take to download?

Elf Girl

03-08-2002, 07:20 PM

LuthienTinuviel, didn't you say in a different thread that it took four days to download? but where'd you get it?

crickhollow

03-08-2002, 07:30 PM

only twice, will probably wait for the TT trailer to see it again. I think that over thirty times is beginning to border on obsession. ;)

jerseydevil

03-08-2002, 07:38 PM

I've seen it 6 times. I was really hoping to like it as much as everyone else. If it wasn't LOTR I would have only have seen it once. I tried getting my 3 cousins to go - but they think it's stupid and refuse to see it. I'll go one more time at the end of March to see what they add to the end.

LuthienTinuviel

03-08-2002, 07:50 PM

it took four days to download it, but it took about a week to find a copy that worked and didn't have asian subtitles, crowd noise, or that odd blue halogen tint.
my comp doesn't shut off when the internet is idle, so it took four days w/o shutting off, downlaoding with my 56K off of kazaa

BTW, here in southeast asia, bootlegged DVD's are all over and selling for about a quarter the price of a new one in flea markets.

jerseydevil

03-08-2002, 08:06 PM

People can get bootlegged copies of movies on the streets of NY. The Seinfeld episode is true - people do go into the theaters with cameras in NY and film the movies. It's just sucky quality. I'll wait until it comes out on the official DVD.

In 1985 my father got Snow White on video - years before it was available. If you don't mind hearing people talking in the background, sucky sound and people getting up - then I guess it's alright.

Arathorn

03-08-2002, 08:15 PM

That's true for most VCD's here. I don't know how they get their masters for the DVDs but they were not shot from a handycam. Lately I watched at a friend's house and it was definitely not taken from a theatre. It had Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 tracks on it as well as 2 teasers and the latest FOTR trailer.

LuthienTinuviel

I've seen it 5 times so far (only 5!). But my friend's sister has a copy of the DVD, and I'm hoping to be able to borrow it and burn copies (slightly illegal, but this is LotR we're talking about!).

I've seen it 4 times in theaters, and about 1/10 of it at my friend's house. Her dad downloaded it.

It's not slightly illegal, it's totally illegal. It robs New Line.

Rosie-Lass

03-09-2002, 10:52 AM

I agree, it is robbing New Line (not that they need the money or anything).
It is better to buy the vid whenever it comes out.
I've only seen it once! I am SO going when it comes out with TTT trailer on the end. (You can get that of Kazaa as well, I dunno whether it's the real thing though, I don't have broadband so I couldn't be bothered).
My cuz has it though, I'll ask him.

Laurelyn

03-09-2002, 12:32 PM

I've seen it four times. I wanna download it, and then trash my downloaded file as soon as I can buy the DVD. I would just go to see it in theatres 27 billion more times, but nobody will take me and my parents won't let me go alone. So New Line will end up with my money anyways as soon as the DVD is released. Of course, my computer hates downloading things, so this is probably all in my dreams.

Hey, what are you picking on me for? It's not like everyone on this thread hasn't been talking about downloading LotR on computer. And that's not robbing New Line? Besides, it's not the director's cut DVD; I'm still going to buy that when it comes out, not to mention every other piece of LotR merchandise available. They're gonna get enough of my money in the end. So why don't you keep your disparaging comments to yourself? :mad:

Pailan

03-09-2002, 02:15 PM

Ah FrodoFriend, be carefull about bootleg anything. My expirience with the bootleg world has taught me that bootlegs are often poor quality. The official product will have many things a bootleg won't. i.e. a picture you can see, the right colors, proper screen formating, better quality sound, plus all the bells and whistles that typically come with official products. Caveat emptor.

Anyhow I have been only 3 times. I am waiting until the 29th for my fourth. I want to see the the TT preview. Besides it should be in more theaters after it sweeps the Oscars! :cool:

FrodoFriend

03-09-2002, 02:38 PM

Jeez, I just said I was going to buy the official copy as soon as it comes out! I wasn't even serious about burning the DVD - since I'll never get my hands on it anyway. I'm just extremely impatient, okay!

CBG - It's no different than downloading music off of morpheus or anything - or copying a CD at a friend's house. Have you never copied anything like that in your life? Is it that you just have a complaint because it's robbing New Line, who you feel we should treat different because they made LOTR, of a couple of more dollars when we have already given them 100's of millions? Would it be different if it was a film most people couldn't stand?

True fans will buy the DVD. The DVD isn't even out yet. I'm not saying it's right or wrong to copy it - but they can't really stop it. If I had a high speed connection - I'd probably download it too.

Rosie-Lass

Now I'm not changing sides, because I personally think that it is wrong (and also v.v.v. time consuming), but I also agree that they can't stop it. Yeah it's only hand-held cam images, but some people are THAT desperate!
I agree with jersey devil, they can't stop it. I mean, look how long it took for them to shut down Napster, AND Napster haven't stopped trading, so I don't see the point in New Line making a fuss because a) it's what, £20 out of £200,000,000 they're going to make out of the whole three and b) the courts would get v. bored if they had to shut down every single illegal trading centre on the web (and there are about 2,000)!!!

Comic Book Guy

03-09-2002, 04:32 PM

Hey, what are you picking on me for?

I wasn't picking on you, I was stating the facts.

It's not like everyone on this thread hasn't been talking about downloading LotR on computer.

I never said that they were.

Besides, it's not the director's cut DVD; I'm still going to buy that when it comes out

So what if it isn't the Director's cut? It's still illegal.

So why don't you keep your disparaging comments to yourself?

Why? I can say whatever I want, same way you or anybody else can.

Is it that you just have a complaint because it's robbing New Line, who you feel we should treat different because they made LOTR, of a couple of more dollars when we have already given them 100's of millions?

It doesn't matter about the content of the product, every pirated version is illegal. What you are saying is that because you paid to see the movie, you have the right to own pirated versions.

I agree with jersey devil, they can't stop it. I mean, look how long it took for them to shut down Napster, AND Napster haven't stopped trading, so I don't see the point in New Line making a fuss because a) it's what, £20 out of £200,000,000 they're going to make out of the whole three and b) the courts would get v. bored if they had to shut down every single illegal trading centre on the web (and there are about 2,000)!!!

Ok, there are probally more than 2,000 murder investagations in the entire world today, does that mean they should solve a few then quit the rest?

CBG - you never said whether you ever copied a song off the radio or burned a copy of a friend's cd for yourself or if you've ever downloaded a song of Morpheus or a similar file sharing program. Did you ever copy a movie off of cable or satellite? Have you ever done any of these things? They are all "illegal" - but I don't think that copying a song or movie matches up to the severity of MURDER. I can't even believe you used that to defend your point of view.

Newsweek had a very good article about the gall of Michael Greene on his attack during the Grammy's where he blasted file sharing. One thing they stated was "No outlaw service can ever provide consumers with the deep libraries at guaranteed high quality that content owners can deliver.....their orginal reaction to previous technological advances, from talkies to television to the VCR, was just as hysterical as it is with the internet... Things won't get better for them until they realize that even for copyright holders, the internet can be a Magic Kingdom."

Hey, what are you picking on me for?

Comic Book Guy was and is not picking on you FrodoFriend. He's simply making a comment, a truthful comment. You will get them if you want to brag about going over the law on a message board. CBG had two sentences: It's not slightly illegal, it's totally illegal. It robs New Line.

Nothing about this is personal. He's not attacking anyone. He's making a statement. It's illegal, that's all he said. You can merely say "oh ok". Or hey, just lie about it! Say you won't do it, you didn't know it was illegal. Who's gonna know? But don't attack him. He has made no disparaging comments, not unless you'd like to make a case for what you're doing being perfectly legal even though you've already said it's not. Please don't flame a mod., it is never a good idea. If you were truly not serious, then there is no reason to say anything but just that. Just say "oh, I wasn't being serious".

CBG made two, honest sentences. Anyone attacking him in this thread is clearly out of line and if I may so unwise. There will be no more of it.

A lot of things are illegal, CBG. Whoop-dee-doo

Including theft and murder. Most things that are illegal are wrong. That's just a fact.

jerseydevil

03-09-2002, 10:51 PM

Well I think everyone or 99% of people that have a VCR has copied movies off of TV and that's technically illegal.

Most people just download stuff until they buy the CD or movie.

Even though my father bought Snow White on the streets of NY - didn't prevent me form buying the tape and the DVD when they were finally released.

Starr Polish

03-09-2002, 10:57 PM

Actually, it's NOT illegal if you aren't paying for it, or the provider isn't making a profit, if you copy a movie of the television...I do'nt know about the rest of it though.

I won't download FOTR from teh computer, though I could (cable modem). I do download mp3's.

Please don't turn this thread into a flame war. ::sighs as she pulls out her fire blanket::

jerseydevil

03-09-2002, 11:16 PM

Copying a movie off of cable or satellite is no different than downloading it for free off a file sharing program like Morpheus. That's what I meant by TV.

Also - Napster was never making a profit nor were they hosting the songs on their servers, they weren't selling the songs or anything. All they were was an outlet that allowed people to trade files back and forth. The music industry "shut" them down and 50 more popped up. The industry is just pissed that they didn't have the brains to come up with it so we could have songs on demand. And if they did - they would probably over charge where it wouldn't matter if you bought the CD or off the net.

I went to target today - I'm not going to spend $14.00 on a cd. I bought several DVDs there for $15.00 each - including AI which was $19.00.

Arathorn

03-09-2002, 11:31 PM

Yes, laws are there to make sure rights are protected but they aren't always perfect (all parties are happy) and not always implementable.
Downloading stuff is morally wrong only if you don't have permission of the party you downoad it from. If they post it without New Line's permission, they're the guys with the problem. Illegal, probably. It depends on which country you get them from. Laws will have to adapt with the technology too. That's why they came up with region-locking on DVDs but it was poorly designed and, in fact, doomed to fail earlier than intended.

Also, intellecutal property laws are not implementable in many southeast asian countries. DVD's and cd's with mp3 files are all over the place in shopping malls in Hong Kong and Manila. The cops are in it too. Illegal, yes, implementable, no.

But no one should worry about me making New Line lose money. I already watched FOTR 8 times on the big screen and will buy the originals when they come out.

Starr Polish

03-09-2002, 11:35 PM

There is a difference from downloading a movie from the internet and taping it from the TV/Cable/Satellite. Most internet movie downloading is done before a movie is available on TV, thus it is pirated. The music I download isn't pirated, but if I were to download FOTR, it would be.

FrodoFriend

03-09-2002, 11:35 PM

CBG and Nolendil ~

I have never copied or downloaded any music or media from the Internet or other sources. I have never been engaged in any illegal activities of any sort. As I said before, I was not serious; it was just idle talk. I'm sorry if that upsets you so much.

CBG, you completely misinterpreted nearly everything I said in that post in which you quoted me 4 times. I didn't think it was fair that you disapproved of me burning the DVD when everyone else was talking about downloading copies and you said nothing about that.

I didn't flame anyone. Sorry if I was not clear in some things I said.

Now leave me alone.

8 times.
8th today.
Was the worst time ever.

You ever get in one of those moods where once one thing annoys you - EVERYTHING ANNOYS YOU? Grrrrrrrr had one of them.

I mean, at 11.15 am on Monday morning about 3 months after the film first came out you'd think I'd have th escreen to myself.
Not so.

This time some old git kept talking - I tihnk it was one of those 'who's he?', 'what happened?' etc. type people. ROAR!

Then a mobile phone went off TWICE during Gandalf's dyingy bit.

The CAR annoyed me in the Shire - Pippin's JOKES annoyed me - once I'd started I just couldn't relax. Grrrrr.

No more times for me. Apart from twice when the TT trailer is added :)

Actually I think it's pretty rotten to download pirated copies of LotR from the Net. Someone is stabbing New Line and every investor involved in the back and stealing directly from someone else's pocket.

The film IS the property of New Line Cinema, and downloading the pirated version (or buys a pirated DVD, for that matter) is tantamount to walking onto their property and stealing your favorite items from wardrobe. Just because it's easy to do or because everyone else is doing it doesn't matter a fig: Theft is theft.

As for the comment that those using VCRs to record material or burning CDs of music they paid for is the same thing, no it is not. this was cleared up in entertainment law in the US probably before some of you folks were born. Cassette tape recorders were the first hurdle, VCRs the next, and it was hammered out between the recording/entertainment industry and the recorder producers that making recordings for your own personal use was a permissable use of the technology. Same for CDs and DVDs.

The problem is when someone profits off those recordings and they did not produce them originally. I understand some people are real comfortable with ripping off corporations who employ other people. To me all one does is cut another person's throat.

I would think that EIDRIORCQWSDAKLMEDDCWWTIWOATTOPWFIO's would have better ethics than that.

04-17-2002, 11:36 PM

*looks around carefully*

Shhh...I saw it twice on a downloaded copy too....
One of my dad's employee's had it and let us borrow it. At first it wouldn't play, and my mom told us it was God judging us for watching an illegal copy. I said, "So why can't he judge us after we watch it?!" ;) We got it working though.

But I can officially say that I have paid twice to see it in theatres too, (BoP knows ;) ) and I would pay again. Gladly. Even though I make ten dollars a week.

at the cinema i have seen it 7 times, once with the TT trailer. I am going again tomorrow. Sadly the cinemas are slowly reducing the viewings. I must at least make it up to 9 because then i will have covered the "nine rings for the mortal men"
I have seen it at the cinema more times than anyother person in my school apart from Varda Oloiessio (sp? i can never remeber the second part to her name) who has seen it 7 times withj me. She is also coming tomorrow.

Tomfoolofatook, you really ought to see it. It's not the book, it's something else,but it's totally cool. It's great to see somebody else's vision of the book.
I just read FotR for the I -forget-how-many- times. But I can't see how anyone could see the movie 8 or 9 times, by then you could just watch it in your head. Though I have to admit the 2nd time I saw it, I saw a lot more than the first.

Thanks for keeping track, CBG!

Actually now I have seen The Fellowship of the Ring thirteen times so far in the theaters, and will probably see it again this weekend, if it is still there. Why have I seen it so much? I waited for this film since 1977, when a lot of you were still glints in yer father's eye, ever since I read the books for the first time. Was I pleased? Thoroughly, unequivocally, absolutely. I still cry at the death of Boromir, the fall of Gandalf, and when Bilbo breaks down in Rivendell. And I still sit on the very edge of my seat while the Two Towers trailer is showing, absorbing every detail and nuance. In itself it is a piece of art.

The film, as a whole, is a masterwork of the filmmaker's art.

Is it the books? Nope. It is a film, and those who have only seen the film do not know Tolkien like we who have read him (twenty-six times now for me). However, for those who have read the books, the film is a great resource. Excellent visualizations, fantastic cinematography, a moving soundtrack and impeccable acting, this film grows more beautiful each time I see it. And it has actually spurred me to more fully appreciate the books [what has also gotten me to love the books more, and understand them more deeply, has been interacting with other lovers of Tolkien here on the Moot].

The piece de resistance was the addition of the Two Towers trailer, which wrapped up all the "loose ends" the prior version had, and sets the stage for the jaw-dropping, heart-stoppong next two films.

I must disagree with Beard of Pants, the film is a masterwork and a great retelling of the Master's works. Good enough for a fourteenth viewing!

[grrrrr........888 was such a great number to "hover" on.......oh well, if I don't break down and Moot once in a while I feel I will burst.....welcome to all the new folks!!!]

I have seen the movie 7 times at the cinema and many more times through different means - If anyone disapproves , I will say three hails mary's and beat myself severely every second Tuesday. The same as Bropous , I read it in 77 at the tender age of 12 and have continued to read it since then , I have wanted to see this movie for many years and I was not dissapointed.

Ërendil

05-01-2002, 04:51 PM

I only started reading the book when I heard a that a film was coming out and i wanted some background info. Now look at me; i am an obsessed Tolkien fan who now all her friends, apart from a few exceptions, think that she is strange. I have read the book fully (not skipping to my favourite parts) 6 times, as i only started reading it early last year and the film 9 times.

I, like Sween, have seen it many,many times. After all that, I dragged my husband to the theater to see it on the big screen. (It wasn't a very big screen though! Gee when did movie screens shrink, in the 80's?) I really get a lot of enjoyment playing the soundtrack and seeing the movie in my head. Needless to say, my family would rather I spend this time making delicious meals.

How incredibly sexist. Are you the resident homebody. *blurk* :rolleyes:

*Breaks out in a cold sweat.*

I have bad feelings already about TTT: Judging by the score (which I hope is not final - that horn/hero section is very generic), more Arwen, and that silly "fight" scene between Aragorn & Eowyn... ggrrrr....

Oh, and the box is mine.

Gee Beardofpants, How dumb! Sexist, hahaha, what is that! In my world people work together to do what they can to help their loved ones be happy. I'm an excellent cook and I can show my love in this way. I won't waste anymore time trying to explain it to you. I'd rather eat at my house on thanksgiving than yours!

I know how thou feels! for it has also drifted for away from our local cinema and as gone to Ithica and there it shall stay intill it may stay no more. but hope remains, for it shan't be long till the two towers shall lift our hearts and be in the cinema for many days and many loney nights.

BeardofPants, how dumb. I agree with Lizra wholeheartedly (and welcome to the Moot, Lizra!).

As for records, now fourteen viewings. I think that is my last time at the theater, all in all I've bought about 25 tickets for the film, I've done my part, Peter.

The Two Towers. Bring it on.

I seriously need my heart to be lifted. Its SATs week! My lucky charm is a mini poster of LOTR. Actually it is very distracting as i spend more time looking at it than actually working. lol.

I think I stopped at 9. It's a nice number as in the no. of Fellowship members and Nazgul.

It sure looks like I'll be viewing TT more than that; maybe a third (14) of Gimli's score?

Thank you Bropous, It's fun to connect and communicate. I don't really like hearing too much about what all's gonna be on the TT. Less is more for me. Cheers to us enjoying it soon!

Yay, I went to see it again a few days ago. I've seen it three times now! I think I said it had gone west, but luckily I was wrong. I saw the trailer for the first time on the big screen and it was awesome! I went with someone who hadn't seen it before and didn't know nothing about it. Now he loves it and can't wait to see the Two Towers. I feel I now have achieved something in life. :)

By the way if anyone is botherd my SATs went well. My mini LOTR poster was a great charm, but I think that the movie would be a better anitdote to the stress of tests.

Well, no, I actually wasn;t bothered by the results of your SAT, Erendil. I figure that just about ANY Mooter would do well on an SAT, at LEAST in the verbal section! Now Math, that's a different story....

AND, for the record, I have, as of last night, attended a showing of my sixteenth viewing, in the theater, of "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." It is my final theater viewing in this run. Last night was the final showing of this magnificent film in our local "first-run" theaters. From December 19 through MAY 30, this film has had an incredible run in Colorado Springs.

Am I surprised? Of course not. Pikes Peak is very similar to Mount Mindolluin, Colorado Springs is sorta like Minas Tirith without the walls, and we have plenty of aspens, which look just like a mallorn tree.

But, now the time has come, I lay down my record and challenge anyone else to see the film as many times as I have in a first-run theater.

All things considered, this IS the best film ever made. I don't care if anyone agrees. No film has ever reached this level of detail and sheer imagination. Good on ya, PJ.

I'm very glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.
Saw Spiderman the other day, it was okay, but LotR has raised the bar on movies. Can't figure out what all the hoopla about Star Wars is -- people camping over night to see it. :confused:
Now am looking forward to the Special Edition.

Congratulations on your SATs, Erendil.
