OH MY GOD!

I just finished my Lord of the Rings Trilogy Festival-the extended versions of all three films. It was, a religious experience. If you're a big LOTR geek like me, you simply MUST go out and get the enhanced versions. "But why Bea?" you ask-because the SEs (special editions) have scenes that should have been in the final wide release that went out across the planet but were cut out. I'm guessing due to time constraints. I fell in love with the story all over again, they're completley different films. The additional footage deepens the storyline, establishes stronger character development and answered a whole lot of questions. It's a shame that they didn't release these instead of the first batch, they're much better although they are longer. I think Two Towers had an extra hour tacked onto it-I didn't really care. OK I'll stop gushing now lol
