Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I decided to buy both!

My reasoning: The current version is, according to Peter Jackson, his "Director's Cut" and as such this is worth having in one's DVD collection as released. Secondly, it's fully contained on one disc and can be enjoyed without delays or changing discs. That gives the theatrical release a high couch potato rating in my estimation. :o)

When the expanded version comes out the added information will flesh out more of Tolkein's epic story with greater character development. I'm anxious to see this and I'm sure it will be highly enjoyable, but the pacing will probably be substanially different. Furthermore, the extra footage necesitates utilization of two discs for the feature portion of the package. Now I like the idea of an intermission if it's properly placed, BUT that placement is crucial; we'll see how well it works in the expanded LoTR.
