Melissa writes: I was watching tv last night and came across a new commerical for the LotR DVD. It had three people on it (I forget their names) but they called themselves ‘The Fellowship of Wal-Mart Shoppers’. The three talked about how much they liked the movie and the great prices that Wal-Mart had for them. The commerical also showed some scenes from the movie, including one from the Special Edition DVD.
My friend who works for New Line’s DVD quality control reviewed the 4-disc FOTR SE DVD and said there was no ‘isolated 5.1 sound effects mix’, nor was there an ‘isolated 5.1 music track’. [More]
My friend who works for New Line’s DVD quality control reviewed the 4-disc FOTR SE DVD and said there was no ‘isolated 5.1 sound effects mix’, nor was there an ‘isolated 5.1 music track’. He double and triple checked this when he was at work. I was so upset I bet him $100 he was incorrect.
I cannot say who he is (for fear of his job security), but he sent me things (possible audio + video things) that proved he did indeed have the disc. I even had him tell me what Elijah Wood said at around 29 minutes into the movie in the commentary. He proved he indeed had the disc.
tkathan got this bit of information for us:
I don’t know how someone can get the fact of having an isolated score and sound fx tracks wrong, but someone did.
I can’t tell you how upset people will be, and in fact I even know of people who have already sold their soundtrack CDs based on the idea that they would have the entire movie score isolated in 5.1.
