I loved the special features this time around. I really enjoyed hearing more information about our dear Proffesser Tolkien.

Of course any fan who heard that there would be a Aragon and Sauron duel was simply horrified including me. And so I went into the explination sceptical on how they could justify it. I still think it was a bad idea and am completely relieved that they changed it but when I was watching the explination on how it was going to be done I could help but be intriged by it. Not by the fighting but by the fact that Sauron would apear in a beautiful and glorious form.

I loved hearing all about the horses which I didn't think would be interesting at first. I also got a laugh at David Wenham's decription on how to look like your riding a horse.

Hearing the stories of the last days of the filming was very touching. And if anyone's afraid that these movies will fade from our minds we alway will know that we'll have the imprint of Viggo kissing Billy on our minds for all eternity.

You get the idea in part of the features that they're less for the fans and more for Peter Jackson and co. to try to earn our sympathy. The way they described all the trouble they went through really made me apreciate the movies.

I also enjoyed the little bit about Cameron Duncan. Very sweet.

The commetaries were what I always look forward to the most. So far I've watched the Director and Cast commentary. The cast commentary was as great as ever. Watching the director's commentary was a bit of a tease because PJ would keep hinting at scenes that he didn't put into the EE. One of which, when Samwise has to pass the watchers and Cirith Ungol, was a scene was was really hoping for and expecting.

If PJ dosn't make that 25th Anniversery Edition of the movies I'm going to have to kill him.

And thank God for pick ups and last minute changes. I don't know how many times I heard someone say, oh that was a pick up. It's like half the movie would have been gone without them.

That's pritty much my scope of the features. Can't wait till the Anniversery Edition.
