The Fellowship of the Ring was bloody brilliant in the cinema; I saw it twice, which is something I've never done with a film before. But the extended version... oh man. Oh man. It was absolutely fantastic. It was perfect. Why in the name of all the Gods did they clip out those bits to begin with? I know there's this idea that people won't sit through three hours, but, y'know, we just did.
Some day, I want to be able to do stuff like that. I don't know what medium - I suspect computer assisted RPGs or something - but something that makes people feel like that. Even on the third time seeing it, I was tearing up at the sight of the Shire, and that's only at the start. And Gimli and Galadriel...

It is absolutely a work of art. I really hope they release Two Towers on Extended version with DVD too -- those extra shots are absolute gems.
