this has probably been beaten to death in the other thread. (from when the frist movie came out). I have no argument with what you proffer.
I'm sure you understand my position as well as I understand yours.
Leaving stuff out is understandable and to me fully acceptable. Changing from Gandalf to Arwin? come on.. I enjoyed the movie. I'm glad I did not pay to see it at a theater.
As for 6 hour movies, The Rusians did it for war and Peace.

They're expanding the first one? Like how much are they doing this by? 20 minutes? Or like another whole hour, or heck, even more? If that's the case. Sweet!

Hmm, not much, but I guess they can fit a lot of information in the 30 minutes, or half hour, whichever you said it was.

What, like the little song-and-dance number they do in the cartoon after smoking "pipeweed"?

I would like to see Tom Bombadil and Goldberry in the extra scenes, but I don't think they'll add that. Too bad.

I really missed Tom Bombadil and wife. While sooooo many folks look on the whole episode as not fitting or not being necessar, I thought it was a bright spot in the dark story of LOTR. Unfortunately, they had to make cuts/changes, and I appreciate what they did to make the movie as good as it was. I look forward to the next 2 installments, faulty though they may be. Good entertainment is sooooo hard to find, and at least the 3hour movie is worth the $9-$10 US per ticket.

Cheers!
Trajan
