I've been in a bit of withdrawal for a couple of days after finishing Lord Of The Rings. Nothing in our library seems worthy of reading afterwards. To console myself I downloaded a great LOTR desktop wallpaper with a picture of Aragorn in full battle dress. While at the LOTR web site I noticed that once again the extended version of The Two Towers will be out in November with 40 minutes of unseen footage. I think these DVD releases are great, giving the directors of these movie the oportunity to release a version of their films not hog tied by the restrictions of the paranoid distributors and studios. And of course it benefits us too. Can't wait to spend 124 minutes per movie to watch the trilogy when everything is finally realeased.
And speaking of show biz icons, it was sad to hear of the passing of one of hollywood's great, Bob Hope, who succumbed to pneumonia yesterday just months after turing 100. Seems like not too many of the old guard left.
