Seems like the film's finished and it is 165 minutes long. Or maybe not. Can a film get a rating when some sound, musik, cgi or even complete shots are still missing? Maybe when the work in progress clearly indicates there will be no reason for another rating in the missing scenes? How long will it take until we get official confirmation? 165 minutes. Do you think that's good or bad news? Personally I was hoping for 3h+. ###### From: Lord Jubjub Newsgroups: rec.arts.books.tolkien,alt.fan.tolkien Subject: Re: 165 minutes! FotR film is finished!

Supposedly there is a director's cut at 3:30 but that was only rumored. -- Lord Jubjub Ruler of the Jabberwocky, Guardian of the Wabe, Prince of the Slithy Toves, Leader of the raths, Keeper of the Bandersnatch ###### From: Xaonon Newsgroups: rec.arts.books.tolkien,alt.fan.tolkien Subject: Re: 165 minutes!

The longer the movies are the more material from the original books can be included. I don't mind sitting through long movies if they're worthwhile. -- Xaonon, EAC Chief of Mad Scientists and informal BAAWA, aa #1821, Kibo #: 1 Visit The Nexus Of All Coolness (a.k.a. my site) at http://xaonon.cjb.net/ "Accepting that identity is relative means two things: that immortality is impossible, and that immortality is inevitable." -- Eric Zetterbaum
