Bigger, Longer and Uncut

[andrewducker]

I'm sure I've mentioned that I've got FOTR Extended Edition. I haven't mentioned how much better it is.

Simply by adding a few seconds here and there in the film they've made it eminently clearer. I didn't like the original hobbiton arrival very much, but I'm a big fan of the new one, and similarly the LothLorien sequence is vastly improved also (I can't believe they left out the gift giving sequence from the original cut).

Basically, I'd rather the original FOTR as an 8.5 and the extended edition a 10.

I wish I had your budget.

Thankfully the Tivo keeps me flooded in cool things to watch, or I'd be envious of your DVD collection too.

Well I wish you had my budget too :-) You are much more of a film fan. Actually Sean bought the projector,IIRC.

As I put it to Sean, we have all this tech stuff cos we don't spend money on what most folks do (car, kids, stupidly expensive house). Oh yeah, and I've always been good at spending as little as possible on necessities.

I thought you had a fairly expensive house. To be honest, I thought that was the only kind in the South East.

But yeah, goodness knows how I'd cope if I had to pay for kids too.
