Coming Soon: GeekFest 2003

A post at the Bear's Cave zipped me over to The Society for Aesthetic Deletions. The reason?

New Line Cinema will re-release The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, with additional scenes and footage added, just two weeks before the worldwide December 17 release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

This news comes from Variety, which is apparently a paid subscription. Julia at SFAD was kind enough to post the details here. But what it boils down to is this: on December 16th you can attend a 3 PM showing of the Fellowship, a 7 PM showing of the Two Towers, and then at 11 PM catch the premiere of The Return of the King.

And yes, I'm geeky enough to plan on doing this.
