I know no one's posted in this thread recently but I didn't think this was worth starting a new one for.

Supposedly it's revealed on the Extended Edition Blu-Ray (in the bonus material I suppose)...

Heh.
I suppose having to couch all of your opinions in clarifying language is potentially stifling. Probably what we really need is for people to stop over-identifying with their hobbies so that...

I can only imagine that the comments would be less vituperative if the article had not made assumptions about the nature of the film fans. Indeed characterising the film's biggest fans as...

(Apologies for how long this is!)

I just returned from the cinema and it's bizarre already to consider that perhaps a third of the way into the film I was thinking "Am I going to...
