    It'll most likely cost a lot of money.

    Waiting for the extended edition to get a physical copy of DOS. I will probably get the theatrical on iTunes in the meantime.

    An interesting series of interviews from GeekNation, though with some information we already know:


    A highlight for me was RA's sudden animation when he talked of the scene between Thorin and Bard, and more specifically of the fact that Thorin sought to gain the literal higher ground by stepping up a step or two (or three) on the stairs. It was a scene that I had noticed in the movie, and I'm glad it was brought to attention here.

    Lauré :)

    I don't fault you. I'll be certain to grab the statues on ebay. I just can't justify spending that much money right now.

    None. For AUJ we got the news over the summer, after they finished shooting for DOS, so I'd guess for around August. PJ and co put the extended editions together between film releases, that's what they did for LOTR as well.

    I won't be buying the Collector's edition mainly cause it has the 3D version in it

    So the Oscars are in two weeks. Wonder if this film will be completely shut out?

    Usually a shut out is when a film gets a lot of nominations but doesn't win anything. The film didn't get a lot of nominations.

    If anything, Smaug deserves best Motion Capture award or whatever it is.

    Ya, Smaug is really the only thing about this movie I can see getting an award. I liked it, but the Academy usually doesn't care about this type of film (Return of the King excepted, of course).

    This will probably be really easy for the experts here. I scored a 70%, which was actually better than I expected to do.
