So The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Extended Edition<\/i> came out this week, and like a good little moron I put it on my Christmas list, so I can’t rush out and buy it.

When I do<\/i> get my grubby little paws on it, though, I will certainly also order one of these Lord of the Rings DVD Premium Slipcases<\/a> from New Line.

\nWhat I’m not<\/i> as excited about, though, is the big huge 12-disc megacollection of The Matrix.<\/i> I’m stoked to sit down and watch all three extended editions back-to-back (which will be twelve hours of LOTR goodness right there… Wow. Order pizzas and an IV drip) but I tried watching all three Matrices<\/i> back to back once, and it just didn’t fly. No pun intended.
