TLOTR extended

January 13th, 2007 at 10:07 pm

My husband specifically asked for the 'extended scene edition' for Christmas, I think it was the most anticipated gift he waited for.

And while I am trying to get more sleep, we are up for the last two nights watching the first movie, yep you heard me, two nights way late, watching one movie. It is on TWO disks! Night one the fellowship forms, night two it breaks (and Gandolf is lost sniff sniff Frown.)

And yeah it took self control not to pop in both disks in one night, or keep going to movie two.

But I am left feeling...the usual, they screwed up my book!

Anyway, we can't find the second two books, the return of the king and the two towers. Course we also couldn't find the ending to the hobbit (we were reading it to our son, he loved it, but the last few pages of the well worn book were missing, so we borrowed it form the library, only to discover the missing pages contained one line "only a small hobbit after all, and for that I am greatful as he passed the tabbacco") anyway. ...

So my husband goes online to find out more about getting a second copy..yeah real frugal of us, but it takes months for us to read, more than one renewal. Well the hobbit is selling on ebay for 8,000 dollars! good grief! Of course that is the origional eddition (which we do not have, ours is revised to fix 'inconsistancies' by JRR Tolkien.) But boy do I wish we had it!

    Back in college, when the movies first came out ... my roommate and I watched these over and over. With commentary, without. Watching all the "how they did it's" ...

    Sigh, good times.

    I was quite annoyed with the differences between the movies and the books. But enough time has passed that I dont' notice it much anymore and I'm able to enjoy the movies and the books as two seperate entities. I'm planning a Movie Marathon day to watch all three extendeds. Should be fun, if we can get people to come over. If not, my roomate and I will do it anyway.
