There are a few new clips on www.lordoftherings.com that are on the TT EE. If anyones is interested.
Did you know the sound of the fellbeast is actually the sound of a donkey? I couldn't believe it. I don't know that I'll think of them as frightening or formidable ever again

There's a new clip.
Fran Walsh says Treebeard is give some of Tom Bombadill's lines. AND does it look like Old Man Willow makes a cameo appearance? What do ya think of that?

I'm going to wait until I see the extended in theaters, before deciding if I'm going to buy it.
Arathorn lets us know what you think.

I have to protect my sources but here in the philippines, there are importers who sell through sms (phone text) and their shipments arrived about 2 weeks ago and got approved last week through customs. The gift set won't be due til monday, though.
Without giving out any spoilers on the main feature, I'd say I enjoyed it but had a lot more fun watching the documentaries because ot the new info. So far from what I've viewed, they got their facts right on those docs but might have had to struggle with what to show on the films. Stuff like the title The Two Towers not really being any particular towers since JRRT kept changing his mind. Gollum gets his own full-length doc too. The MTV easter egg is as easy to spot as the one from EE FOTR but I was sort of disappointed at not being able to find a ROTK trailer one if it exists. I have to go to sleep now as its 5:35 in the morning and I've been watching since 10 last night. I was so anxious the whole day since many of my friends at our local tolkien society were calling in to say that they got theirs earlier but I eventually ot my copy at 6PM. Anyway, bye for now...

BTW, in the appendices, they discussed a bit about how hey initially thought of adding Arwen Warrior Princess but later changed their mind. They also showed actual scenes there with Liv fighting. Good thing they didn't add it in the actual extended feature.

I've got the TTT EE DVD! The guy at the shop sold it to me a day early! All you have to do is ask.
The movie, in my opinion, is marginally better. Mainly because of the extra scenes with Sam and Frodo, which were desperately lacking in the theatrical version, since they are the heroes of the story. I have to say I liked the FOTR much more than TTT, so I wasn't expecting to be overwhelmed by the EE. Many of the new scenes were good. I don't know. I just thought it deviated too much from the book for my liking. Not that I expect it to be the book word-for-word. Just more Tolkien-like. Having said all that, TTT is my second favourite movie of all, after the FOTR.
I think JD's going to have a lot to say after viewing TTT EE.

ohhh same i went into myers and the bloke there said they were sitting out and he grabbed mine YAY!!!
the gollum statue is nowhere near as cool as the Argonath. Pippin's dream in the start of the ent draught scene was really great i though
ooooooh still only half way through though... cant wait till we hit boromir

Oh, fun for you, Cass! But I was really hoping for some good added scenes, like in FotR, and it sounds like many of the added scenes are silly comic ones. It looks like PJ totally misses the reason why Merry and Pippin's humor works in the books - as Merry says, "But it is the way of my people to use light words at such times and say less than they mean. We fear to say too much. It robs us of the right words when a jest is out of place." PJ has the light words, but not the depth, of the hobbits.

hhahaha i watched them talking about including Arwen in the fight scenes but they said there was an uproar on the internet, i stuck up for her at the time but im glad she wasnt fighting, looked shocking and she said she cried because people called her xena, hahahahahahaha
hmmm i like that there was a Boromir flashback but it screwed around with the story a bit too much for my liking, it seemed as if Jackson was trying to repreive Boromir as much as he could by laying the blame all on his dad...
