I tend to agree with Birdland a bit about Concerning Hobbits. I have only watched it once (I've been busy watching Lothlorien over and over, then the special features) but it didn't seem to flow as nicely as the theatrical version. I liked seeing Sam gardening, but other than that... Maybe when I've seen it more I will appreciate it more. But I was rather fond of the original opening with Frodo reading the book, and the words, "The Shire...60 years later", then you hear Gandalf, etc. I just prefer that to Bilbo and the map.<P>My dad liked the ear cleaning bit. Men.
