I LOVE the movie Minas Tirth. Ahhh... *drools* Love the way it resembles Constantinople.
But sometimes it just gets to me that the City is just too damn tall! It should have been more squat and city-like, instead of climbing up like a triangle. But that's just me. I'm sure they were trying to show the evolution of the City from military outpost to fort to city to capital city.
Thus having the majority of the civilian buildings in the "newest" part of the lowest circle with the outermost wall the shortest and least advanced. (Even though Tolkien said that the outermost wall was the most advanced and made of the same indestructable stuff as Orthanc.)
The same thing happened with old Roman bases and forts, cities would grow up around them and they would have to build more walls to include the growing population.

"Minas Tirith, was Constantinople Yes Minas Tirirth was Constantinople Long time gone Constantinople Why did Minas Tirith get the works? It's nobody's busines but the Orcs."

I can't believe I just clicked on a link to a navy blue box that says "Return of the King Extended Edition" embossed in Gold on it. Mainly because I thought it would be black.

Ha! I knew it would be blue! I even bet alot of money on it with someone who was sure it would be black. Now if only I could remember who it was so I can collect the money....

So um, do you think there'll be a chance to but the entire trilogy EE? Like in a set or something?

I'm saving up my pesos for THAT one. I'm a box-set junkie and I can't wait for the bazillion dollar triple EE edition with even MORE extra stuff that should hopefully come out soon.
Note: I don't have factual evidence that there will be one, but I do have a lot of hope. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000
