Streets of Rage 3, called Bare Knuckle III (ベアナックルIII) in Japan, is a side-scrolling beat 'em up released by Sega in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive. It is third and final part of the Streets of Rage trilogy, and a direct sequel to Streets of Rage 2.
Streets of Rage 3 aimed to build on the success of its predecessor, so while the style of gameplay and control scheme is largely identical to its predecessors, significant changes were made to the overall structure of the game. Streets of Rage 3 is a faster paced release with longer levels, a more complex plot (which in turn leads to more in-depth scenarios complete with interactive levels and multiple endings) and the return of traps such as pits. Dash and dodge moves were added to each character's arsenal of moves, and weapons can now only be used for a few times before breaking.
Changes to the fighting mechanics allows for the integration of weapons with certain movesets. Team attacks, absent from Streets of Rage 2 but available in the original Streets of Rage, make a return, and are occasionally used by enemies too. Blitz moves, performed while running, have also been altered and are now upgradable over the course of the game (predicated on how many points are earned per level). Death causes a downgrade, however holding the button before a series of button combinations can give players access to the upgraded moveset at any point in the game, at the expense of the time taken to perform attacks.
Enemies are also smarter with weapons, and some can even steal health upgrades, and there are also several secret playable characters, unlockable after overcoming certain conditions during the game. Special moves also no longer drain the user's health - a separate, automatically regenerating bar is introduced for this purpose.
Prototype screenshots show that at one point, a motorcycle stage was planned for Streets of Rage 3, with some leftover code being present in the final game ROM. It is unknown why this feature was axed.
In comparison to its predecessors, Streets of Rage 3 takes a radically different approach to its soundtrack. Though still composed by Yuzo Koshiro, it is heavily influenced by Detroit's hard techno scene, popular in Tokyo dance clubs of the time. The soundtrack gathered a mixed reception in 1994, though is retrospectively considered by many to have been ahead of its time, containing elements similar to the "trance" era of dance music which would grow in popularity in the coming months and years.
Koshiro developed a composition system for this game, called the "Automated Composing System". Using features such as a random note generator (programmed in C++) , the soundtrack has a much more experimental tone, particularly noticeable in tracks such as "Bulldozer", whose composition is almost entirely randomised.
Like its predecessor, Motohiro Kawashima also contributed to the game's soundtrack.
Streets of Rage 3 is a controversial game among many thanks to Sega of America's heavy-handed localisation policies of the era. Unlike previous releases, the differences between Bare Knuckle III and Streets of Rage 3 are extremely obvious, involving the removal of features, a vastly different story (riddled in plotholes and missing scenes) and a higher level of difficulty (made worse by the fact that on the "easy" setting, the overseas release will stop after stage 5).
Of particular note is the use of "gender neutral colours" amongst the character sprites, which leads to inconsistencies with both Streets of Rage's cover art (in all regions) and the designs in previous games. Scantily clad female characters were covered up an entire miniboss (Ash) was removed due to his perceived homosexuality. These and other changes ultimately hurt critical reception in Europe and North America, with some reviewers urging Streets of Rage series fans import Bare Knuckle III or skip this title entirely.
Today, an unofficial fan translation is available for the Bare Knuckle III ROM, whose script was used with the permission of the original author. Other hacks bring back the lost motorbike stages and additional areas of round 6 which were originally removed in the western releases of the game.
Compared to its prequels, Streets of Rage 3 is a less common and more expensive game to find in its original Mega Drive form. It has, however, been released for the Japanese version of Sonic Gems Collection for the GameCube and PlayStation 2. The game also appeared in Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game has also been released on the Wii Virtual Console, iOS and Steam. The iOS version was removed from sale on iTunes in 2015.[13]

Either by design choice or oversight, back attacks ( button or + button) give a very high amount of score in relation to the damage they do. Score focused gameplay therefore focuses on (ideally only consist of) back attacks. This is different from the prequel, where throws gave the highest amount of score.

Following on from the finance minister on Friday, prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka visited the Dukovany nuclear reactor on Saturday and outlined his scenario for how the sector should develop. Sobotka said the government's recently approved long term energy framework envisages one new reactor at Dukovany and another at power company ČEZ's second site at Temelín. Sobotka said Dukovany should have priority, partly because of the strong support for nuclear power in the region, and a tender for the new reactor there could be held by the end of 2016. Dukovany's four current reactors are likely to be phased out from 2035 onwards.
The 66th Sudeten German Congress began in Augsburg, Bavaria, on Saturday with improved relations between Germany and the Czech Republic at the forefront of discussions. No mention was made of the Beneš Decrees, which controversially expelled around 3 million Germans, mostly living in the Sudetenland, from Czechoslovakia after WWII. German Minister of Labour and Social Affairs Emilia Müller said the Sudeten community, many of whom live in Bavaria, could be a foundation stone for improved German-Czech relations. She praised the resolution by Brno's Council last week expressing regret for the expulsion of Germans to Austria in 1945. Around 1700 are believed to have died on a forced march out of the Czech city
Hundreds of Czechs have taken the chance to visit Czech Radio's main headquarters in Prague during its traditional open day on Saturday. Visitors have the opportunity to tour studios, meet presenters and journalists, and attend a series of concerts being held for the occasion. Star presenters taking part included Jiří Chum, Lucie Výborná and Jan Pokorný. The doors opened to the public at 9 am with the event running till 5 pm..
Leader of the smallest government coalition party, the Christian Democrats (KDU-ČSL), Pavel Bělobrádek was returned unopposed to the top post at the party's conference in Zlín on Saturday. Bělobrádek received 251 out of a possible 275 votes. Minister of Agriculture, Marián Jureča, was returned as first deputy chairman. Bělobrádek said the party had succeeded in making a comeback without abandoning its traditional values. He set the next goal as defeating Communist-Social Democrat administrations in power in many regions.
ANO leader and minister of finance Andrej Babiš has said that he believes
the near 70 percent state controlled power company ČEZ should be able to
finance the construction of a new nuclear reactor at Dukovany from its own
resources. Babiš' comments came during a visit to the nuclear reactor
site on Friday. The minister pointed out that ČEZ has one of the lowest
debt levels of all major European electricity companies and should be able
to cover the preparation and construction costs on its own.
How to finance new nuclear reactors has been a major issue within the coalition government after it announced last year that it would not guarantee the price of electricity from new nuclear reactors. ČEZ immediately afterwards cancelled its ongoing tender for two new reactors at its Temelín site. Dukovany's existing four reactors are likely to be phased out between 2035 and 2037.
Czech diplomat and former politician Jana Hybášková has been selected to be the European Unions new ambassador to Namibia, the Czech daily Lidové Noviny has reported. Hybášková is currently EU ambassador to Iraq, a post where she has been perceived as performing well, the paper adds. She has held that post since 2011. Hybášková was formerly a Czech ambassador to Kuwait and has been a member of the European Parliament. She stood in elections for a series of centre parties, most recently the Christian Democrats.
Czech contestants, the duo Marta Jandová and Václav Noid Bárta, have lived up to low expectations and failed to win through to the finals of the Eurovision Song contest on Saturday. Their entry was 'Hope Never Dies' and they were eliminated in the earlier stages. The duo were the first to take part for the Czech Republic since 2009 with previous poor results and lukewarm public interest leading organisers to drop participation in the following years. Czech Television decided to rethink its decision later and the finals in Vienna will be broadcast Saturday.
Chinese investors from Hebei Province want to build a huge wellness centre not far from Brno, in Moravia, the governor of the South Moravian region Michal Hašek told journalists on Friday. The investment would be worth two billion crowns and would create hundreds of jobs. The deal should be finalized in September and the wellness centre should be built by the end of 2018, the governor said.
Two Czech nationals on trial for animal smuggling in Perth, Australia have admitted their guilt. The two men told the judge they had attempted to smuggle around 150 reptiles, mostly lizards and snakes out of the country. They were arrested along with two Russians when customs officers found reptiles hidden in their luggage, among them 33 dead snakes. The men face up to ten years in prison and steep fines.
Tomas Rosický is set to stay at Arsenal for another season, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Friday. Wenger said Rosický's contract had been extended for another year. Rosický, 34, has been on the fringes of the Gunners squad this term, making only five starts in the Premier League. However, Wenger insisted the Czech Republic international remains integral to his plans for the 2015-16 campaign. Arsenal are likely to strengthen their squad in the summer, with Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech a reported target.

Barry McGee
San Francisco-based artist Barry McGee developed an early and impassioned following for his unsanctioned work on the streets of San Francisco under tags such as "Twist," "Ray Fong," and "Lydia Fong." With dynamic images that use the visual chaos of the street to address urban class tension and are inspired by a variety of sources such as hobo art, sign painting, graffiti comics, and Beat literature, McGee now has an international exhibition record that includes shows at Deitch Projects, UCLA Hammer Museum, Foundation Cartier in Paris, and Fondazione Prada in Milan. McGee's work was a natural for the highly acclaimed exhibition Art In the Street at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Berkley Art Museum has recently organized the artist's first major survey exhibition which travels to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and is accompanied by a 400-page catalogue.
With his work featured in the museum's exhibition FOCUS: Barry McGee, the artist is in conversation with the Modern's curator Andrea Karnes for this Tuesday Evenings presentation.

An Ambassador for
Embattled Seagrasses Seeks
Global Monitoring System
By Steve Grant
A scientist who has spent decades researching seagrasses is refining a system that could be the key to the long-term preservation of these often-overlooked but invaluable marine plants.
Anitra Thorhaug, a research professor since 1979, is working on a sophisticated process to better assess the condition of seagrasses and seaweeds worldwide, relying upon satellite surveillance data that are more comprehensive, less expensive and safer than the labor- and cost-intensive alternative—on-the-spot observation by crews of technicians.
Working in cooperation with Graeme Berlyn, E. H. Harriman Professor of Forest Management and Physiology of Trees, Thorhaug uses a technology called spectral reflectance to monitor seagrasses and seaweeds.
"Nobody has ever tried these spectral techniques on seagrasses and macroalgae," as seaweeds are more formally known, Thorhaug said. "We are being very ambitious and bold here."
A seagrass meadow is like a thriving city, a dynamic concentration of life whose influence radiates far beyond its confines. Seagrass leaves, or blades, as they are known, are food for conch and parrotfish, as well as a safe place for hundreds of species of fish to lay their eggs. Seagrasses also are shelter for many species of juvenile fish, including gray snapper, and prevent erosion of near-shore waters.
"They also take a lot of carbon dioxide out of the air and the sea," Thorhaug said. "They are a big part of the carbon cycle" and therefore can be valuable in containing global warming.
They are, in fact, a bigger part of the carbon puzzle than most people would suspect. "They are not equal to terrestrial forests, but they are responsible for a substantial percentage of the productivity and carbon production of a terrestrial forest," Thorhaug said. Algae and seagrasses add about 6 percent to globally sequestered carbon. If these plants were to be restored to habitats where they once flourished, that figure could be considerably higher, she said.
Seagrasses, similar in appearance to dune grasses, differ from seaweeds in that they are a higher order of plant, the only flowering plants in the sea. One common seagrass found in waters from North Carolina through New England and Canada is marine eelgrass, with long, bright-green ribbon-like leaves.
Unfortunately, many seagrass meadows throughout the world have been destroyed over the centuries. For example, seagrasses once were found along the entire Connecticut coast but now are essentially confined to the eastern end of Long Island Sound. Oil spills; pollution, including sewage discharges; dredging and fill; and excessively high water temperatures from electricity generating station discharges all have taken their toll. Alterations of freshwater flows through canals, channels and dams throughout the world sometimes concentrate those flows into coastal waters, reducing salinity and wiping out seagrasses, which cannot tolerate prolonged exposure to fresh water.
Spectral reflectance, which Berlyn helped pioneer and refine over the past four decades, identifies both healthy and stressed seagrasses. It takes advantage of the fact that stressed leaves develop physiological constraints that decrease the amount of light-absorbing pigment they produce. Moreover, the amount of light-absorbing pigment varies depending on the exact stress. Subject a blade of seagrass to one kind of stress, like sewage pollution, and its pigments react one way. Subject a blade of seagrass to a different stress, like a drop in salinity, and the pigments react slightly differently.
Those different pigments reflect differing amounts of light, which can be measured by a leaf reflectometer, a highly sensitive and compact device about the size of a shoebox.
"Light is either absorbed, transmitted or reflected. This instrument measures how much light is reflected after light enters the leaf," said Nancy Marek '09, who is studying spectral reflectance as a possible noninvasive measure of carbon sequestration. This reflected light "can give us a window into the health of the plant."
In a paper published in 1968, Berlyn reported that by measuring the light passing through sections of wood from a red pine tree, many of the structural and chemical properties of its cell walls were revealed. By the 1980s, Berlyn used spectral reflectance on individual leaves, perhaps the first scientist to do so. That research led to a paper in 1993 about the use of the technology to document damage to spruce needles because of acid rain.
Working in Greeley Memorial Laboratory, Thorhaug pinpoints precisely which pigment signatures are associated with specific stresses, such as sewage pollution or excessively warm water temperatures.
Starting with healthy seagrass plants, Thorhaug exposes them in the lab to different stresses, measuring the resulting pigment signatures. That science is fundamental to the monitoring system she envisions. She and her colleagues applied for a $250,000 grant from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to help support the research.

A hurricane superstorm slams the Caribbean and the eastern seaboard of the United States, flooding Manhattan's subway system, leaving lower Manhattan and Brooklyn without electricity for days and destroying much of Staten Island. The storm kills hundreds of people, destroys thousands of homes, and causes over $65 billion in damage. Prior to October 2012, this scenario read like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster. But now we know these were the very real effects of hurricane Sandy.

USCIRF sent the following letter to President Obama Nov. 9, 2009:
The President
The White House
Washington, DC
Dear Mr. President:
The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom hopes your upcoming trip to China is both successful and productive. During your visit, we urge you to raise critical issues of religious freedom and the rule of law with Chinese officials, seek meetings with prominent human rights defenders and repressed religious leaders, and make a strong public statement about the importance of human rights to the future of U.S.-China relations. The trip is an opportunity to dispel any notion that human rights and religious freedoms are not priorities, and to set the record straight on any of the Administration"s prior statements on the place of human rights in our bilateral relationship with China.
Religion matters in China and it should matter in Sino-American relations as well. Religious adherence is growing in China, as hundreds of millions of Chinese seek to worship and exercise other religious freedom rights, such as expression, freely, without interference or harassment. Increasingly, religious believers are demanding rights guaranteed by China"s Constitution and international human rights conventions to which China is a party. Religious organizations are a large segment of China"s civil society and Chinese officials, including President Hu Jintao, have stated publicly that religious groups can play a beneficial role in the development of Chinese society.
The Chinese government has accommodated some religious practice, but repression of peaceful religious activity remains intense and widespread, focusing on unregistered Christians, Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, Falun Gong practitioners and religious groups the government considers "evil cults." In Tibetan and Uighur areas of China, repression of religious freedom has created deep resentments that cannot be mitigated by the inappropriate use of force or other repressive measures. Repression of peaceful Uighur and Tibetan religious practice has fueled, not solved or resolved, ethnic unrest. The importance of defending freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief has also shaped a growing movement of Chinese rights defenders, intellectuals and lawyers who, at great personal and professional expense, seek to advance religious freedom, promote the rule of law, and protect internationally guaranteed rights and freedoms in China.
How the Chinese government deals with its religious minorities and human rights defenders will affect issues of domestic stability and economic development, the transition of China to a rule of law system, and the demands of millions of Chinese for greater freedoms and government transparency-all critical concerns for a growing U.S.-China relationship. For these reasons, freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief should remain a priority issue in bilateral discussions.
In July 2009, USCIRF welcomed your eloquent statements before the U.S.-China Strategic Dialogue about why religious freedom is an important American interest rooted in our nation"s history. Today, and during your travel in China, we urge you to speak out publicly and clearly about why religious freedom is in China"s interest, rooted in international human rights treaties and standards which China has affirmed. In your meetings with Chinese leaders we hope you will detail the tangible diplomatic, political, social welfare, security, and economic benefits China can gain by fully protecting and promoting religious freedom and related human rights, and also explain the costs of continued repression and religious freedom abuses to the future growth and flexibility of U.S.-China relations.
The international community should not ignore or remain silent in the face of continued persecution in China in the hopes of finding common ground on other important global concerns. Instead it should recognize that human rights protections and the advancement of the rule of law are critically intertwined with many international interests in China.
We hope that your Administration will listen carefully to China"s dissidents, human rights defenders and religious believers, and demonstrate unwavering support for those who are in prison, have disappeared, or who are under pressure in China for seeking greater government accountability, rule of law, religious freedom, and other human rights.
During your brief visit to China, we particularly urge you to:
• meet with embattled human rights defenders (weiquan) to learn about their efforts to strengthen China"s judicial and legislative systems and expand the rule of law in China. They have taken on high-profile and politically charged cases and paid a steep price for their advocacy on behalf of China"s most vulnerable. As you well know, rule of law touches on every major human rights concern, including torture, treaty compliance, and the rights of Tibetans and other repressed religious groups.
• take up the cases of weiquan who have disappeared, been imprisoned or intimidated, or stripped of their legal licenses for the cases they take and the clients they defend, particularly in your discussions with China"s leaders.
In addition to meeting with China"s human rights lawyers during your China trip, the Commission also urges you to:
• seek to meet with "unregistered" religious leaders, attend one of their worship services, and encourage Chinese officials to continue taking steps to allow independent registration of Protestant "house churches."
• urge the Chinese government to provide information on the whereabouts of disappeared rights advocates and religious leaders, such as lawyer Gao Zhiseng, Catholic Bishops Su Zhimin and Wu Qinjing, and the Dalai Lama"s chosen Panchen Lama Gendun Choekyi Nyima.
• urge the Chinese government to lift all restrictions on peaceful religious practice in Tibetan and Uighur areas as confidence-building measures in regions because religious and cultural repression are a cause of deep resentment and social tensions in these regions.
• urge the Chinese government to release immediately all those imprisoned for their peaceful religious activity or religious freedom advocacy, including Tibetan Buddhists, Protestant "house church" leaders, "underground" Catholic Bishops and priests, Falun Gong practitioners and other individuals accused of being affiliated with "evil cults," in addition to Uighur Muslims, including the family of Rebiya Kadeer.
• urge the Chinese government, as the Sudanese government"s major oil partner and arms supplier, to use its considerable leverage to end genocide and protect religious freedom in Sudan,
• urge Chinese officials to protect North Korean asylum seekers who face torture and imprisonment upon repatriation.
We know you are personally committed to protecting the vulnerable and expanding the rule of law. During your visit, we hope you will convey those convictions and similar convictions held by all Americans in tangible ways, not only to China's leaders, but also to its people.
Sincerely yours,
Leonard Leo

I think everybody in Guentzel's family hit late growth spurts, so I'm not too too worried about him getting bigger, especially because it doesn't even look like he's hit puberty yet.

Restrictions for J/Link-ed Programs?
- To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
- Subject: [mg100887] Restrictions for J/Link-ed Programs?
- From: Christian Staudt <christian.staudt at ira.uka.de>
- Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:38:04 -0400 (EDT)
Hi MathGroup, I would like to use Mathematica with J/Link as a frontend and plotting environment for a computing-intensive benchmark written in Java. Unfortunately, I ran into the following two (related?) problems: a) As soon as the memory footprint of the Java process reaches about 260 MB (on my Macbook) or about 320 MB (on my Linux machine), it grinds to a halt. Apparently, the memory footprint is not allowed to increase any further, so the garbage collector goes out of its way to free memory - but will eventually fail with a "GC overhead exceeded" exception. This happens only if the program is called with J/Link. Called from the command line, it runs normally since it is allowed to use more memory. I tried to pass e.g. "java -Xmx2000m ..." as an Argument to ReinstallJava[CommandLine->...], but Mathematica seems to ignore or override the -Xmx option. b) The benchmark uses the linear program solver Cplex, which needs to communicate with a license token server in order to work. Again, it runs just fine from the command line, but not with J/Link. The communication with the license server fails with a timeout. My guess is that Mathematica puts restrictions on the linked program for security reasons or similar - affecting memory usage (a) and network communication (b). I could not find information on this on the web. Is my guess correct? If yes, how can these restrictions be removed? If I cannot solve this I have to do a laborious workaround, calling the Java program via Run[] ... so quick help would be very much appreciated. Thank you! Greetings, Christian

EU leaders set to meet Thursday to mull possible sanctions for Russia over actions in Ukraine
Times of Israel
Pro-Russian forces numbering more than 11,000 controlled all access to Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and have blockaded all military bases that have not yet surrendered, Crimea's new leader said.
The West has joined the new Ukrainian leadership in Kiev in demanding that Russia pull its forces from Crimea, but little progress was reported after a flurry of diplomatic activity in Paris on Wednesday involving US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The European Union leaders will meet for an emergency session in Brussels on Thursday to decide what sorts of sanctions they can impose on Russia over its actions in Ukraine. Moscow has threatened to retaliate if any punitive measures are put in place.
A UN special envoy sent to Crimea came under threat from armed men who forced him to leave the region.
Concern that the turmoil could engulf eastern Ukraine grew after hundreds of demonstrators — many chanting "Russia! Russia! — stormed a government building on Wednesday in Donetsk, a major industrial center near the Russian border.
Clashes between protesters and police broke out early Thursday in Donetsk as police cleared demonstrators from the building. Dozens were detained.
The European Union on Wednesday extended $15 billion in aid to help support the new Ukrainian government, which took over in late February after months of protests drove out the Moscow-supported president, Viktor Yanukovych.
The EU also imposed asset freezes against 18 people held responsible for embezzling state funds in Ukraine, including Yanukovych, his son and some of his closest allies.
Crimea's new leader, Sergei Aksyonov, said his government was in regular contact with the Russian officials, including those in a large Russian delegation now in Crimea.
Speaking at Crimea's government meeting late Wednesday, Aksyonov said the strategic peninsula is fully under the control of riot police and security forces joined by about 11,000 "self-defense" troops. All or most of these troops are believed to be Russian, even though the Russian president and defense minister have denied sending in the military other than those stationed at the home port of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

Street Fair Moratorium
Adopted Rules: Closed to Comments
Statement of Basis and Purpose of Rule
The Office of Citywide Events Coordination and Management (OCECM), Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO) administers New York City's permit system for street activities, block parties and fairs.
Each year SAPO issues permits to over 200 street fairs and over 5,000 other events, most of which include the use of multiple blocks over several days, the erection of structures, the vending of food, apparel and other goods and the use of amplified sound and the performance of music. Events like these require additional police officers which increases overtime costs to the City. These events also divert police officers from core crime fighting, public safety and counter terrorism duties.
To more effectively deploy police resources and control overtime costs, the New York City Police Department has requested that SAPO exercise its discretion temporarily to deny permits for additional events scheduled for calendar year 2017. The proposed rules will authorize SAPO to deny permits to these events only if the event was not held in the calendar year 2016. Events that received permits in calendar year 2016 will be eligible to receive permits again in calendar year 2017.
SAPO authority for these rules is found in section 1043 of the New York City Charter and Executive Order No. 105 of 2007.

NHL Game Day: 11-11-13 Lightning at Bruins
Unfortunately, some real Stammergeddon in Boston.
Anders Lindback allowed 2 goals on 23 shots for the loss. He actually played quite well, which sadly will be overshadowed by everything else that happened today. With that said, though, goaltending just became that much more important for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
First Period
Second Period
17:09 BOS Bergeron (6), (Eriksson, Krug)
17:29 BOS Paille (2), (Campbell, Bartkowski)
Third Period
19:01 BOS Iginla (4), (Lucic, Krejci)(EN)
For those who missed it, Steven Stamkos ran into one of the goalposts behind Anders Lindback in the Second Period and broke his right tibia. He is out indefinitely and early scuttlebutt ranges from Stamkos being out until as early as February or as long as 9 months. In addition, Sami Salo and Keith Aulie also left the game with injuries. Shortly after Steven Stamkos was stretchered off the ice, Boston struck for 2 goals while the Lightning were still in a state of shock. Really, the game wasn't even secondary at that point, given everything that had transpired. It's a shame, because after a rough First Period the Lightning looked poised to possibly steal a point or two, but Boston remains a house of horrors for the club.
What happens next? How do you replace Steven Stamkos?
You don't. You don't replace one of the three best forwards in the league and the NHL's most consistent goal scorer. You can't. You invariably have to take an even more disciplined team approach to defense and you have to rely even more on your goaltending to try to help win games. Unfortunately, if Sami Salo is also down for any period of time, that's an even more difficult task to pull off.
How do you score enough goals to win?
There are four players, on the immediate roster, that will be counted on to step up. One, in particular, should be looked to the most. It's time for Teddy Purcell to become a star. Whether he moves to the top line or not, whether he stays at wing or moves to center, Teddy Purcell will be asked to become one of the offensive leaders of this team. Supporting his efforts, the Lightning need more goals from three youngsters who are capable of ~20 goals a piece, talent-wise: Richard Panik, Brett Connolly, and Tyler Johnson.
Who gets called up? How do lines shuffle?
There might be zero changes to the roster. There might be several. The Lightning have a high degree of flexibility, and also there are a lot of variables without knowing the degree to which Salo and Aulie are hurt. At forward, you could see the Lightning attempt to roll with what they have. Purcell and Alex Killorn have both played center in earlier lives and could conceivably slide back into that position. Expanded roles for Panik and Connolly could also be in the offing. If not, the two most obvious recalls would be Vladislav Namestnikov or Nikita Kucherov. Namestnikov, obviously, would be a 1-to-1 replacement at the center position. He's not a 1-to-1 replacement for Stamkos as a goal scorer though, as Namestnikov is more of a playmaker as a finisher. If a sniper is more desirable, Kucherov better fits the bill. Another, more improbable, option could be the emergency recall of Jonathan Drouin. Emergency recalls of junior players have been done in the past, such as when Calgary recalled Sven Baertschi a few seasons ago. The emergency recall rules are very narrowly defined in terms of when they can be used and very strict about when the recalled player must be returned to junior. An early read of the rules indicates it requires 2 players to already be up from the minors on emergency recall and that it requires the player to be returned to junior immediately once players get healthy again. With Pyatt already on IR, Stamkos about to go on IR, and Salo and/or Aulie possibly about to go on IR, there might be enough of a MASH unit developing to allow an emergency recall. However, the allowable duration of Drouin's recall would be questionable and the Lightning would also probably want to limit his emergency recall to under 9 games to avoid burning a year of his contract. So, recalling Drouin is probably a longshot at best, but in moments like this all options should be on the table.
On defense, with Matt Taormina currently injured, the outlook for recalls is bleak. The Lightning may well be stuck with increasing playing time for Andrej Sustr and/or Mark Barberio in the absence of any good alternatives. Were the injuries to be extreme enough, the Lightning could conceivably sign JP Cote to an NHL contract or consider cup-of-coffee auditions for the likes of Dmitry Korobov, but these scenarios seem less likely than the Lightning attempting to move forward with the defensemen they have.
How do the lines shake out? Again, there are a ton of options. My thought, upon further reflection, is Teddy Purcell almost has to go up to the top line to play with Martin St. Louis, whether that's with Filppula or Killorn at center or Purcell himself moving to center. From there, the second line almost has to become even more of a kid line, featuring Filppula, Johnson, or Killorn at center and likely featuring Connolly, Palat, or Panik on the wings. I don't foresee a return to the scoring line ranks of Ryan Malone, but we shall see.
Radko Gudas had 5 shots, 7 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 19:48.
Johnson had 3 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 20:12.
Killorn had 2 shots and 1 hit in 23:07.
Ondrej Palat had 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 18:02.
Sustr had 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 13:43.
Panik was -1 with 1 shot and 1 hit in 18:22.
In closing, in an attempt to cheer up our readers, I'll leave you with the tale of another injured center, who went on to found a hockey franchise in Florida, who was abducted from a hospital room in Boston. It's one of the funniest hockey stories ever told, and involves plot line elements like Bobby Orr, a broken hospital bed, and a block of smelly provolone cheese. It seemed oddly appropriate to be retold today. Enjoy, and get well soon, Steven Stamkos.

It's finally here. For those who've held out hope for the extended editions of Lord of the Rings series on Blu-ray, Warner Brothers has now put out a fifteen-disc set of the franchise, with each film getting a new mastering. Peter Jackson's triumphant version of the J.R.R. Tolkien books won big at the Oscars (seventeen awards in total, including best picture for Return of the King) and the box office, and did so for a reason: it's great. Watching them again, the films still feel perfect, and though there may be some bad jokes, and perfectionists may wish that more of the books made it on screen (or were added to the extended cuts), the sheer scale that Jackson gets to by the final chapter is one of the great achievements of cinema. Yes, the guy who directed Bad Taste had the right stuff. One wonders if he'll ever be as good again. Our review of The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition on Blu-ray follows after the jump.
You know the drill. Four Hobbits (Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd) join up with a Dwarf (John Rhys-Davies) an Elf (Orlando Bloom), a wizard (Ian McKellan) and two humans (Sean Bean, Viggo Mortensen) to destroy a ring that controls the fate of the world. Along the way, some are killed, and the gang is split up with Frodo Baggins (Wood) and Samwise (Astin) encountering Gollum (Andy Serkis), who helps lead them on their way while pining for the ring himself.
Short review: The transfers are outstanding, with Fellowship of the Ring (whose theatrical incarnation on Blu-ray was not up to snuff) now looking as good as the rest of the films. And in 1080p, these suckers are gorgeous. All the supplements are the same, and they include everything from the four disc sets previously released, along with the Costa Botes documentaries – the ones issued with the two-disc EE sets. The downside: instead of converting the supplements to 1080p, or having all the supplements on one Blu-ray disc, the films' extras are presented in DVD versions. Which means they're the exact same discs as before, and there's nothing new.
Fellowship of the Ring was the one that started it all, and suggested that Jackson could deliver. The film covers the history of the ring, and how it got to Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm), who received unnaturally long life and health from the ring, but treats it like an addiction. When he leaves the shire on his 111th birthday, he leaves the ring to Frodo (Wood), but Gandalf (McKellen) thinks there's something odd about it. All the while, Sauron – the original owner of the ring – is growing more powerful and has recruited Saruman (Christopher Lee) to help build him an army. Gandalf has Samwise (Astin) join Frodo, and the two hook in Merry (Monaghan) and Pippen (Boyd). They meet Aragorn (Mortensen) who helps them get to Elrond (Hugo Weaving) so they can decide what to do with the ring. There the fellowship is formed, and the journey begins, which leads them to the mines of Moira, and eventually the dissolution of the fellowship.
God damn, what an entertaining movie. One that takes chances with the amount of fantasy, but this is fantasy done right. The extended editions are that much longer, and you get to really sink into the characters, with more breathing room at the beginning especially. The original cut ran 178 min., while the Extended Edition runs 208 min. — or 228 min. if you include the additional credit sequence (which consists of the names of the Lord of the Rings fan-club members who ponied up the dough to get their names in the credits). The editions are mostly minor, but since the world is so much fun to spend time in, it's worth it. The opening gets the most additional material, but little things – like the magical powers of all the gifts the Elves give the Fellowship – add up to a stronger film in total.
The film is presented over two discs, with the film in an immaculate looking widescreen (2.35:1) transfer, and in DTS-HD 6.1 ES surround sound. Is this a demo disc? Yes. I found myself noticing sweat and the texture of paper – all the little things that pop with a great transfer. The film comes with four commentaries, the first with Peter Jackson, writer/producer Fran Walsh, and writer Philippa Boyens, the second with Production designer Grant Major, Costume Designer Ngila Dickson, Weta Workshop creature supervisor Richard Taylor, conceptual Designers Alan Lee and John How, supervising art director/set director Dan Hennah, art department manager Chris Hennah, and Weta workshop manager Tania Rodger.
The third track features producer Barrie Osbourne, executive producer Mark Ordesky, cinematographer Andrew Lesnie, editor John Gilber, co-producer Rick Porras, composer Howard Shore, visual effects supervisor Jim Rygiel, supervising sound editor/co-designer Ethan Van der Ryn, supervising sound editor Mike Hopkins, Weta Animation Designer and supervisor Randy Cook, Weta VFX art director Christian Rivers, Weta VFX cinematographer Brian Van't Hul, and miniatures unit director of photography Alex Funke. The fourth track, the cast commentary, features Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Liv Tyler, Sean Astin, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Managhan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, and Sean Bean. Both Blu-ray discs of Fellowship have easily found Easter Eggs.
Disc three offers "The Appendices Part One — From Book to Vision" and covers the journey of FOTR from page to screen. It starts with a welcome from Peter Jackson (1 min.). It's followed by "J.R.R. Tolkien: Creator of Middle-Earth" (22 min.), which covers the source material, and Tolkien's influences. "From Book to Script" (20 min.) mostly has the cast talking about their love of the source material, and the changes that were made – like the snipping out of Tom Bombadill. In the "Visualizing the Story" section there's "Storyboards and Pre-Viz: Making Words into Images" (14 min.), which talks about the planning that went into making the film, along with "Early Storyboards," which offers a look at "The Prologue" (8 min.) "Orc Pursuit into Lothlorien" (2 min.) and "Sarn Gebir Rapids Chase" (2 min.) – all of which are scenes that were either not shot or included in either cut. "Pre-viz Animatics" offers looks at "Gandalf Rides to Orthanc" (1 min.) and "The Stairs of Khazad-Dum" (2 min.). "Animatic-to-film Comparisons" has two scenes, "Nazgul Attack at Bree" (2 min.) and "The Bridge of Khazad-Dum" (3 min.), and the section concludes with "Bag End Set Test" (7 min.), where Jackson hashed out how some of the sizing would work.
"Designing and Building Middle-earth" offers "Designing Middle-earth" (41 min.) gives props to the creative team behind the look of the film, while "Weta Workshop" (43 min.) gives the make-up and effects guys their due, and "Costume Design" (12 min.) highlights the self-evident. There are also two still galleries for design, broken into numerous subsections covering the people and the realms, with some of the stills coming with commentary.
The Middle-Earth Atlas is an interactive map where you can follow the journey of Frodo or Gandalf, with clips from the film. And, finally, "New Zealand as Middle-earth" (10 min.) covers seven of the film's locations.
Disc four is called "The Appendices Part Two — From Vision to Reality." It starts with an intro from Elijah Wood (1 min.). Then comes "Filming The Fellowship of the Ring" – which is broken into three featurettes. "The Fellowship of the Cast" (35 min.) has the cast singing each other's praises, "A Day in the Life of a Hobbit" (13 min.) covers how long it takes to put on the make-up and "Cameras in Middle Earth" (50 min.) talks to the film's multiple units, which were constantly shooting. This section also offers a "Production Photos" still gallery.
"Visual Effects" offers features on "Scale" (16 min.), while the "Miniatures" section features "Big-atures" (16 min.) – the slightly larger than expected miniature version of locations – and a still gallery for six of the locations. And in "Weta Digital" (25 min.), the effects guys get to talk about their work.
"Post-Production: Putting It All Together" offers "Editorial: Assembling an Epic" (13 min.) and "Editorial Demonstration: The Council of Elrond"(2 min.) which shows the 36 takes, and raw footage that goes into that sequence. "Digital Grading" (12 min.) covers the post-production tinkering with the look of the film. "Sound and Music" has "The Soundscapes of Middle-earth" (13 min.) to talk about the sound design while "Music for Middle-earth" (12 min.) gives Howard Shore's work a spotlight. Finally, "The Road Goes Ever On…" (7 min.) covers the film's premiere.
Disc Five offers Costa Botes' documentary on the making of Fellowship (85 min.) and it's a way more playful look at the making of the film. The hobbits get to goof on each other, but work gets done.
What may be most amazing about this series — aside from its command of CGI effects; aside from its compelling characters and story; aside from the fabulous star-making performances of Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom; aside from the great casting; aside from the beautiful New Zealand vistas shot by Andrew Lesnie; aside from the sheer spectacle of it all — is how Peter Jackson has made these films his own. Even more than Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson is the ultimate director-as-12-year-old-boy. And the Jackson sensibility is notable throughout, with his silly humor and blood and guts swordsmanship, but this is kept in balance by the weight of the quest to destroy the one ring. These are visionary works by a master director, a painstaking decade-long cinematic journey that may never be equaled.
As for The Two Towers, here Sam and Frodo meet Gollum, and Merry and Pippen are stuck with Treebeard (Rhys-Davies) and Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf (now the White) help Theoden (Bernard Hill) reclaim his soul from Grima Wormtongue (Brad Dourif) and protect his people from an assault on his retreat fortress – Helm's Deep. Frodo also meets Boromir's brother Faramir (David Wenham), while Theoden's niece Eowyn (Miranda Otto) both wants to fight and tries to romance Aragorn.
As for the extended cut, without providing a frame-by-frame analysis of the addendums, the additional footage consists mostly of things trimmed to get the film near a three-hour running time. The original cut ran 179 min., while the Extended Edition runs 222 min. — or 236 min. if you include the additional credit sequence. The only major sequence added is the thing the fans of the book clamored for most: a flashback in which Faramir (Wenham) and Boromir (Sean Bean) confront their father Denethor (John Noble) — who treats Faramir as the lesser son — over who gets to go to Rivendell for the meeting held in Fellowship. The scene explains why Faramir would want to give the Ring to his father to prove himself, a plot-point created by Jackson to increase the drama to which fans of the book lamented, feeling it was done at the expense of Faramir's character. The characters who get the most additional screen-time in this cut would probably be Merry (Dominic Monaghan), Pippin (Billy Boyd), and Treebeard (voiced by John Rhys-Davies). But most of the additions are little bits that give more detail, but for all the add-ons, the pacing is kept up — one never feels the additional 43 minutes. In comparison between the two Extended Editions, the additions to Fellowship seem stronger, because the longer, Hobbit-centric opening and the explanation of the Elven gifts were so obviously missing. But while the main addition (the Boromir/Godfather II sequence) is nice to see, it isn't as necessary.
The Two Towers: Extended Edition is presented in a spotless widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and in DTS-HD 6.1 ES. I'll say it again – Demo discs. The film has four audio commentaries. The first features Peter Jackson and screenwriters Frances Walsh and Phillipa Boyens. The second one is with the design team, costume designer and Weta workshop supervisor Richard Taylor, Weta workshop supervisor Tania Rodger, production designer Grant Major, art directors and set designers Alan Lee and Dan Hennah, art department coordinator Chris Hennah, and conceptual designer John Howe. This is followed by a commentary by producer Barrie Osborne, executive producer Mark Ordesky, cinematographer Andrew Lesnie, editors Michael Horton, and Jabez Olssen, co-producer Rick Porras, composer Howard Shore, visual effects supervisors Jim Rygiel and Joe Letteri, sound editors Ethan Van der Ryn and Mike Hopkins, creature effects supervisor Randy Cook, art director Christian Rivers, visual effects cinematographer Brian Van't Hull and visual effects director of photography for the miniature unit Alex Funke.
And finally, the track that will probably get the most play, the audio commentary with the cast, including Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Liv Tyler, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Bernard Hill, Miranda Otto, David Wenham, Brad Dourif, Karl Urban, John Noble, Craig Parker and Andy Serkis. There are also easily found Easter eggs on both discs.
Disc Three is called "The Appendices, Part III — The Journey Continues" and it comes with an introduction by Peter Jackson (2 min.) The first featurette is "J.R.R. Tolkien: Origins of Middle-Earth" (29 min.). Though not attempting to be a biography, it does speak of Tolkien's friendship with C.S. Lewis, while it also suggests how his time in World War I as a soldier influenced the book (especially the dead marshes sequence). It's also interesting to note that the commentators are at times a bit critical of his writing style, and are surprised that the thing was published at all.
"From Book to Script: Finding the Story" (21 min.) explains how the writers felt the middle chapter was the most problematic. Tolkien's structure told basically multiple stories linearly through, while Jackson felt to create a timeline they had to be intercut, which forced some reshufflings of events, specifically "She" being pushed into Return of the King. This is also where the writers explain why they changed Faramir's character (as they also note on the commentary). "In Designing Middle Earth" (46 min.) we get a look at how the locations were found (sometimes by just flying a helicopter around New Zealand), and how much detail and work went into the smallest details of the costuming, even when outfits were being mass-produced. In this section is also a large stills gallery (with some of the stills featuring audio commentaries) for both the peoples and realms of Middle Earth. To get a closer look at the costume and make-up work done, watch the section called "Weta Workshop" (44 min.), which shows how much work went into the whole process.
But the standout section on this disc is "The Taming of Smeagol" (40 min.), since the Gollum/Smeagol character is the best addition to the series. The documentary shows how much of the character was modeled on Serkis, who shot his scenes with the actors, and then was later replaced with his digital incarnation. Watching Serkis's commitment as he flops around in a freezing-cold river explains why Gollum has become an indelible cinematic figure. But to see how much of Gollum is in Andy Serkis's performance, the Andy Serkis Animation Reference (2 min.) shows the live action Serkis delivering Gollum's monologue to himself, which is also available in split-screen so one can compare to the final product. The final chapter in this section, Gollum Stand-in (3 min.), exists to embarrass co-producer Rick Porras as he was stuck in the Gollum suit one day. There's also a design gallery here so you can see the different attempts at getting Gollum's look. The last supplement on Disc Three is New Zealand as Middle-Earth (14 min.), which offers a location-by-location series of scouting trips of the places filmed in New Zealand as substitutes for middle Earth. Those looking for "Hobbitized" vacation ideas may benefit the most from this.
Disc Four is "The Appendices, Part IV — The Battle for Middle-Earth Begins" and beings with an introduction from Elijah Wood (1 min.), who expresses a fan's enthusiasm for the extras-packed set. Next up is the section Filming Middle Earth, which has two sections: Warriors of the Third Age (21 min.), and Cameras in Middle-Earth (68 min.). The first talks to and about the stunt people involved and the work they went through, and Viggo Mortensen's penchant for head butting. The second is the more standard "making-of," where they cover the difficulties involved in making the picture (especially the money sequences), though producer Barrie Osborne does mention that since all three were shot at the same time, it's sometimes hard to differentiate between what was for what. This section also has a production-photos gallery.
For the area entitled "Visual Effects", there's a section for the miniature work, with the featurette titled "Big-atures" (22 min.), as they were often built on sets to much larger scale than most miniatures (hence the name). Also in this section is "The Flooding of Isengard Animatic" (2 min.), which offers the animatic and a split-screen comparison. In "WETA Digital" (28 min.) the digital work is given its due, from the work done on Treebeard to the extensive programming done to create digital characters that have their own A.I. when they fight. Also in this section is a still gallery for Abandoned Concepts, featuring the talked about Slime Balrog. In "Editorial: Refining the Story" (22 min.) the editorial process is highlighted as Jackson had different editors work on each movie. Here they were Michael Horton and Jabez Olssen, and Jackson talks about the process where in which he gets to see a rough cut put together first, with often crude animation filling in for the uncompleted sequences. From there the fine-tuning begins.
Next is a section called "Music and Sound." "Music for Middle-Earth" (25 min.) concentrates on Howard Shore and includes footage from the scoring stage, while "The Soundscapes of Middle-Earth" (21 min.) goes behind the sound-effects work, showing how much of the audio for the film was added on later, something that becomes even more noticeable after thumbing through "Sound Demonstration for Helm's Deep" (1 min.), which allows one to sample the seven layers that went into creating the soundtrack for the battle, along with an eighth final version option. If that weren't enough, the disc wraps up with the epilogue "The Battle for Helm's Deep is Over…" (9 min.) where everyone talks about the relief of having finished, the premieres, and (briefly) what's to come.
Disc Five offers Costa Botes' documentary on the making of the film (106 min.), which – again is very playful and more of a fly on the wall approach. These are very endearing, and let the cast goof off like the hams they could be.
Return of the King is the big wrap-up, and damn if it doesn't deliver (even if it takes its time to wrap up – but if you're like me and watched all three films over 24 hours, it's just part of the journey). Here Frodo and Sam finally get to Mount Doom, while Aragorn and company go to Denethor (John Noble) in Gondor, where they are not welcomed with enthusiasm. Aragorn and Gandalf try to rally troops, and Aragorn finally claims his role as the king of Gondor – which lets him use the army of the dead to fight Sauron. But everything rests on Frodo getting that ring destroyed as both he and Sam come to think it will be the end of them.
By the time Legolas is surfing a dead elephant after taking it out, it's impressive to think about the sheer scale of this movie. Though none of the films are small, there are literally thousands of people in the final battle (many, to be fair, done with CGI), but when there are swooping dragons, and all the orcs and Uruk-hai and humans and the great palace of Gondor, it's truly epic. There is a sense of scale here that is unparalleled – you'd have to go back fifty years to see someone attempt something of this scale, but the freedom of digital technology means that it's not just panning across thousands of people, but swooping from up high, and going everywhere. There's nothing like it.
The extended edition of Return of the King added 50 minutes of new footage to the Best Picture winner and — much like the theatrical— is the longest of the bunch at four hours and 10 minutes (with an additional 20 minutes of fan credits). In the theatrical cut it's Samwise Gamgee's (Sean Astin) film, here it becomes his. The majority of the new additions aren't to his, Frodo (Elijah Wood), and Gollum/Smeagol's (Andy Serkis) journey, but to the others. It's safe to say that Jackson felt theirs was the most important narrative, and cut little from it.
What may be most surprising to those who were looking for some of the "important" scenes trimmed but rumored to be filmed is how the majority are brief. The long spoke of "Mouth of Sauron" scene, in which a nefarious ambassador (Bruce Spence) meets Aragorn's army at the Black Gates, takes about a minute. The "House of Healing" sequence is only marginally longer and is conveyed non-verbally, while future lovers Eowyn's (Miranda Otto) and Faramir's (David Wenham) extended courtship amounts to more shots of the couple making googly eyes at each other. Gandalf's confrontation with the Witch King clocks in at a minute; Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) grabbing the palantir to tell Sauron that he's the returned king is also succinct. They are welcome, but it points to how much was sacrificed to get the film down to its already unwieldy theatrical length.
The longest addition is the one that fans (and Christopher Lee) have been clamoring for since it was announced that it was snipped: the resolution of Saruman (Lee) and Grima Wormtounge (Brad Dourif). But in finally seeing the sequence, it's easy to see why it was excised; though it caps off two characters who were prominent in the last film, their fates don't really advance the plot that much and the movie already has too much to cover before the battle for Minis Tirith. But it's a welcome addition just the same.
Though the running time is elongated, the film's rhythms play better here; Return of the King now gets to take its time. It allows for more grace notes, and characters get to breathe a bit more (though the film was always driven by its characters). Jackson made a great film better.
The film is presented widescreen (2.35:1) and is spread over two discs in DTS-HD 6.1 ES. These were made to be used for demoing your system. Most of the commentarians have graced the previous sets — the lineups are nearly identical — giving a sense of continuity to the supplements. The first commentary features Peter Jackson and screenwriters Frances Walsh and Phillipa Boyens, and as always there's jovial but insightful about their work, and Jackson is quick to point out how much was directed by others (though under his supervision). Next up is audio commentary with design team, including costume designer and Weta workshop supervisor Richard Taylor, Weta workshop supervisor Tania Rodger, production designer Grant Major, art directors and set designers Alan Lee and Dan Hennah, art department coordinator Chris Hennah, and conceptual designer John Howe, in addition to costume designer Ngila Dickson, who skipped the Two Towers commentary.
This is followed by a commentary by producer Barrie Osborne, executive producer Mark Ordesky, co-producer Rick Porras, composer Howard Shore, visual effects supervisors Jim Rygiel and Joe Letteri, sound editors Ethan Van der Ryn and Mike Hopkins, creature effects supervisor Randy Cook, art director Christian Rivers, visual effects cinematographer Brian Van't Hull and visual effects director of photography for the miniature unit Alex Funke. New to the track are editors Jamie Selkirk and Annie Collins (different editors worked on each film so this is fitting). The final commentary is with the cast, including Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Liv Tyler, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Bernard Hill, Miranda Otto, David Wenham, Karl Urban, John Noble, and Andy Serkis. Coming back to the commentaries is Ian McKellen, while new additions are Hugo Weaving, Witch King/Gothmog Lawrence Makoare, and Smeagol and Gollum. Yep, Serkis provides some comic relief as everyone's favorite bipolar case provides his thoughts on the making of. Some of which is funny, some of which… less so.
Disc Three offers "The Appendices, Part V — The War of the Ring" which starts with an introduction by Peter Jackson (2 min.). If these summaries are invoking déjà vu, it's because the blueprint is the same on all the discs: "J.R.R. Tolkien: The Legacy of Middle-Earth" (29 min.) speaks to Tolkien's creation of the languages of Middle Earth and the roots of his mythology, while delving into thematics that correlate to the author's life, as analyzed by Tolkien scholars. This segues well into the next section, "From Book to Script: Forging the Final Chapter" (25 min.). Tolkien thought that his trilogy could never be filmed, partly because timelines overlap in different books; stories in Two Towers have parallel action in King. A nightmare to solve, it's probably why screenwriters Jackson, Phillipa Boyens and Fran Walsh netted their Best Screenplay Oscars.
Here, the filmmakers discuss how they reworked the book into filming shape, and what didn't make the cut (even after filming stopped) especially a cut scene featuring Aragorn fighting Sauron — which was thought needed to give the final struggle to destroy the ring more drama, though proved unnecessary — and the absence of the long missed "Scowering of the Shire" sequence. There's also a frank discussion of the film's multiple endings. In this section one can also see the early animatics for the Sauron-Aragorn fight (5 min.).
In "Designing and Building Middle Earth" (39 min.), the struggles of creating the worlds for final chapter is under scrutiny, with the main new addition for the film being Minas Tirith. This section features footage from Jackson's Dead Alive as the Dimholt road sequence was filmed in a shared location, where Bad Taste is featured in the "Bigatures" section (19 min.). It covers all of the large miniatures used in making the film. "Weta Workshop" (47 min.) offers an in-depth look at the New Zealand's team's work on the special effects, and on the design of the main villains, including the added Mouth of Sauron. "Costume Design" (12 min.) tracks the new outfits, while in this section one can also access Design Galleries, which has sections for "The Peoples of Middle Earth," "The Realms of Middle Earth," and "Miniatures."
"Home of the Horse Lords" (30 min.) bespeaks the actor's relationships with their equine counterparts. Most of the horses were difficult at best, while horse doubles (sometimes something as simple as a barrel) were used. "New Zealand as Middle-Earth" (16 min.) covers all the Kiwi locations of the third film, while Middle Earth Atlas allows the user to track the paths followed through Middle Earth in the course of the movie.
Disc Four is called "The Appendices, Part VI — The Passing of an Age" and beings with an introduction from Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan (2 min.). "Filming Middle Earth", has two sections: "Cameras in Middle-Earth" (73 min.), and "Production Photos." "Cameras" is easily the set's best supplement — it's the one that covers the production of the third film, which features a lot of the cast and crew saddened by finishing the series (many of whom were involved with it for nearly a decade). In the area entitled "Visual Effects" is the featurette "Weta Digital" (42 min.) and it reveals the labor that went into the film's 1,488 special-effects shots, more than the two previous films combined. Also in this section is "Visual Effects Demonstration: "The Mumakil Battle" (1 min.) which offers seven angles on a short sequence from the Mumakils (the large elephants) vs. Horses fight with optional audio commentary on each angle.
In "Post Production: Journey's End" there's "Editorial: Completing the Trilogy" (22 min.). It sets up how RotK was forced to contain footage originally intended for inclusion earlier (such as Sarumon's final scene and Smeagol's discovery of the ring), while also shows how this film reunited Jackson with editor Jamie Selkirk, who worked on all of Jackson's films previous to Fellowship of the Ring. "Music for Middle Earth" (22 min.) focuses on Howard Shore (who won an Academy Award for his score), and the songs that come into play in the theatrical and extended edition. "The Soundscapes of Middle-Earth" (22 min.) goes behind the sound-effects work, and to what lengths the recording crew went to find the noises they needed, which in one case meant getting close to horse raring to breed. "The End of All Things" (21 min.) talks of the bum-rush that went into finishing the final film, which had so much work being done on the technical end that the movie was worked on up until the very last minute.
"The Passing of the Age" (25 min.) spends much of time talking about the film's premiere, the Oscars, and a short autopsy on the series. But the heart of the disc is "Cameron Duncan: The Inspiration for 'Into the West'" (32 min.), which is about Duncan (1986-2003), a young filmmaker who Jackson and company brought into the fold because Jackson saw some parallels between Duncan's work and his own. Unfortunately Duncan developed terminal cancer, but he provided the inspiration for the Oscar-winning song "Into the West." Also included are two of Cameron's short films "DFK6498" (4 min.) and "Strike Zone" (11 min.).
Disc Five offers Botes documentary on the making of RotK (114 min.) and it's a nice playful version of a behind the scenes piece.
Also included with this set are codes for the downloadable versions of the films. Yeah. Impressive.
