Crystal Goodbody sends this in: Here’s the latest on this, just received from Amazon.ca. I presume that the *ROTK Complete Recordings* will be available later, but this email certainly has me wondering.

Marilyn sends this in: After reporting my second defective copy of the Complete Return music (there is a “hole” in the Grond music in the stereo dvd that is not found in the cds or in the surround dvd track) I received this from amazon:
“I am sorry that your replacement order was also problematic for the item “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (The Complete Recordings) [Soundtrack] [Box set] [Collector’s Edition].
As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are unable to send another replacement. We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item; however, I cannot guarantee when the error may be fixed. Please return the item for full refund.”

Kristin Thompson, author of ‘The Frodo Franchise: The Lord of the Rings and Modern Hollywood’, writes: Peter Bart’s book Boffo! has a chapter on The Lord of the Rings where he argues that the trilogy was the biggest gamble in Hollywood’s history. I’ve written a response trying to show that Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne of New Line Cinema weren’t risking nearly as much as Bart claims and that the “gambling” aspect of Peter Jackson’s production has been exaggerated in the press.
