Okay so now I'm rewatching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, too. Because I gotta.

It was *really weird* remembering that Sean Bean was in this, too. And he is so unlike Ned. Gah.

@Sparrow

So very unlike Ned

I hope you're doing the extended editions

@ThatDamnCat No those cost more to rent. :( maybe if I check them out from the library or something, but right now I'm renting them through Amazon.

@Sparrow

Each extended movie has so much more footage that helps scenes make sense... probably less important in the first movie but much more so in the 2nd and 3rd.

It's like half an hour extra in each movie.

There are some scenes that get glossed over in the theatric releases that feel mildly unfinished which are more fully explained in the extended editions.

I hope you see them.

@ThatDamnCat I'll see about getting the extended versions when I rewatch the second two movies, then~ I trust your advice. :3

@Sparrow

I think you won't regret it.

If you can get all 3... even better

@Sparrow More of Aragorn's history is explained in the first movie... as more info about the elves, which comes up later.

@ThatDamnCat Good to know! I always appreciate more backstory. It's kinda cool watching it after the Hobbit, because the continuity in terms of backstory and asides is pretty good despite the 10-15 year difference.
