Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />I too prefer Dvd, which I can play on my laptop during trips, but wasn't going to wait once it was clear I wasn't going to be able to track one down right away.<br /><br />As for the extended scenes, yes I'll be posting on them once I've had time to mull over their impact. Their treatment of this film's extended edition is quite different from any of the previous Jackson Tolkiens, in that they actually change scenes, rather than just adding to them. <br /><br />First, though, I want to work my way through all the extras, of which there is a plentitude.<br /><br />--John R.John D.

I look forward to seeing it, once I can track down a copy of the DVD (no BluRay for me).<br /><br />I'm also curious to hear your thoughts on the extended scenes, and the film itself in its extended form (which I have seen). I think the additions make a big difference this time around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
