To: Come get it; g'nad
NOVEMBER!?!?!? AAAAAUGH! Can't...wait...much...longer...You and g'nad need to start a support group. ;-)
To: RosieCotton
That's what we are!!!
My name is 2jm and I'm a hobbitaholic...
To: RosieCotton
Another sinner lost!
I'll let you know!
To: Come get it
To answer your other questions (partially), I'm not sure how the extra scenes will be added in...if they'll be in special features or actually included.
As for what they'll include (and others, please correct me / add to this!), there will be more footage of the Shire (more of Bilbo and, if I remember right, Gandalf will have a longer entry segment), a part where Frodo and Sam watch some of the elves leaving Middle Earth, lots more in Lothlorien, including the giving of the gifts (i.e. Sam gets his "dirt", as my little sister says, and Gimli falls for Galadriel)...I can't remember what else. Anyone?
To: Come get it
The new footage will be edited INTO the film. A longer version... not a separate feature, like I have seen.
Here is a thread that has a description of the new scenes...

Don't wait, buy them both. There are other features that are included with this one that will not be in the extended, good preview of TTT, other interviews and specials, and some places have it for $15 bucks. I got a card for 10 DVD rentals for free with mine. Cost is not a reason to not get them both! - It's cheap!
To: HairOfTheDog
You did a lot better than I did...thanks!
The extended version shows up at buy.com for 18.99. Maybe I'll go ahead and pre-order...I'm gonna do it anyhow. Though there's also a sort of super-extended version, no? Tough choices. :-(
To: Come get it
Take the Kia test drive and get a free copy of FOTR! Then buy the extended release.

Yeah - There will be a collector's version that comes with the nifty Argonath book ends. I don't know yet if the disks are different.
To: HairOfTheDog
I don't know yet if the disks are different.Oh...I thought the disks were different. If they aren't...well, the bookends would be very cool, but I can live without 'em.
If I had lots o' money, though, I would get one of the leaf brooches they had in the little catalog that came with my DVD. I don't know what I'd DO with it other than just have it, but they are very pretty!
To: RosieCotton
Or a replica of the ring...to pull out at inappropriate places and mutter "My preciousssss!" Funsies...
To: RosieCotton
I would like a leaf clasp... but then I keep staring at the Narsil replica....
To: HairOfTheDog
Oooooh...yeah! And once in a while I could strap it on and walk around my yard staring at passersby...just to see how they react.
Is it Friday yet? I think I need some time off...
To: RosieCotton
You know...I'm in need of a new weed-whacker. Do you think that'd work?
To: HairOfTheDog
I bet I could really pop some sand burrs out with Narsil, huh?
To: RosieCotton
Is it Friday yet? I think I need some time off... I agree. I get Saturday and Monday off!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly wait. I need a couple of days off. Desperately.
To: RosieCotton
once in a while I could strap it on and walk around my yard staring at passersbyI think you have to have a cloak too for the effect to really work, but yes, you are on the right track!
To: RosieCotton
LOL GMTA!
Here's that special Extended release...
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=40171007&loc=107
It has the National Geographic special included I guess. I already have it. It was ok, but got off on some tangents, including some dork who hiked off through the Amazon or rainforest or something on his own quest to save the environment or something. A bona-fide ringtail doofus.
To: HairOfTheDog
I think you have to have a cloak too for the effect to really work, but yes, you are on the right track! OK, how about I get the cloak, the leaf clasp and Narsil. I'll track down some high boots, and then go out into the yard and use Narsil to do some weed clearing. That sounds like fun. Not sure what the neighbors would think, but it WOULD be fun!
To: RosieCotton
I don't know if you heard about it, but some guy having marital problems OD'ed on his antidepressants and laid down with his motorcycle in front of my house a couple of weeks ago. I bet if I'd gone out there brandishing Narsil, he'd have gotten a grip pretty quick!
Or I might have got shot...
To: 2Jedismom
Almost sixty dollars - yikes! Guess I'd have to pass on that in any case...
Sounds like the NG special isn't worth the price, either. The bookends would be nifty, but that's a lot of money!
