I bought the extended Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers DVD yesterday. I only had time to watch one disc though. I think the Lord of the Rings DVDs are the only DVDs that have interesting deleted scenes and documentaries. I was really hooked on the 6 hour DVD documentary on the last DVD. They do a really good job with these so they are automatically my favorite DVDs in my collection. When all three movies are on DVD, that is going to be one mega long movie. I hear the Return of the King uncut is 4 hours. So that makes the whole uncut movie to be 11 hours and 15 minutes. That's quite a commitment! I think the best part of these Lord of the Rings movies is that the makers really desired to create something true to the story and something that everyone would enjoy. Sure, the studio execs just see it as cash flow, but I get the feeling that the director and actors really wanted to make a great film so that people could enjoy it and that they could be a part of something great. I don't get that feeling from any other movie I've ever seen.

A small group of Foundry people are going to Mexico this weekend to help out at an orphanage. We don't know what we're doing when we get there, but I hear there is always lots to do. I'm sure I'll have much to write about when I get back. Pray for us!
