"...,I shudder in anticipation as to what the final film will bring."

I shudder in anticipation of what the 'Director's Cut' will bring.

I saw 2Ts this afternon. All in all this is a great film. Peter Jackson had to make some very tough decisions as to what to leave on the cutting room floor.

I agree, this film won't win best picture. The Academy will probably save that for 'The Return of The King'.

,,, I'm in Wellington, New Zealand. This morning's newspaper shows Peter Jackson on the front page. He's stated that Wellington, New Zealand will be the place for the world premiere of The return of the king, late next year.
