I thought fuck-nugget kind of explained itself...

This came up in another thread, but I thought it worth noting here that the Extended Edition of "An Unexpected Journey" will be released in time for the 2013 holidays, according to Warner Bros. Presumably the release will come before "The Desolation of Smaug" hits theatres, so I'd expect the EE to be available in November or early December.

NO! that IS Martin Freeman, everything else is plastic & bad CGI,(in the film) so why not this ?!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Blu-ray Review

"The Blu-ray edition of The Hobbit wows, dazzles and thoroughly impresses with a stunning 1080p/AVC-encoded video transfer true to Jackson and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie's every intention. Lush, lovely Shire greens, summer-kissed browns and oranges, moonlit blues pierced by blazing flame, relatively lifelike fleshtones and cavernous blacks grant the image soul and spirit, while impeccable contrast leveling and exceedingly natural shadow delineation give it depth and strength. The filmmakers' at-times stylized color grading is presented without apparent flaw, and detail is nothing short of extraordinary. Edge definition is crisp and clean, without any significant ringing or aliasing. Fine textures are refined and exceptionally well-resolved. And there isn't a shot or scene marked by anything less than the utmost care. Better still, macroblocking, banding and other issues are absent, and only the slightest hint of noise and negligible crush will give eagle-eyed videophiles pause. An Unexpected Journey delivers the first of what promises to be a trio of top tier transfers and doesn't disappoint in the least."

doesnt mention Bilbo once?

Peter Jackson to reveal peek at second Hobbit film

That seems more a technical review of the transfer than a film review Chris- still at least the tech quality sounds better than it was for LotR's which had a few problems.

So the question is do I do a purist edit of the blueray release or do I leave it till novemberish for the EE?

EE

Id say EE also, if you want a purist account, dont want to find something sneaking up on you that could have been nipped in the bud, especially if its to do with Peter "I did it my way" Jackson

gotta agree with the peanut gallery Petty I say EE as well. more material to play around with. But how much of it will be worth a damn? that is the key...

My thoughts exactly Sinsister- for example I know there will be stuff with younger Bilbo at the Old Tooks birthday ect but is it actually necessary or will it just slow up the opening and the story- guess I will have to wait till Nov to find out.

I hope there will be at least some worthwhile material in the EE. There was a ton of filler in the theatrical cut but I want to believe that they did film more interesting stuff that could take its place. My fingers are crossed.

Its a great shame the script is not good enough to tranlate to screen some of what the actors are trying to portray in their characters.

yeah, but it's okay.. there is fanart and me just knowing that makes everything better.. and more heartbraking..

I really would be interested in hearing Jackson and Boyens trying to defend some of their changes in the DVD appendices. Though I suspect the more suspect things would be merely glossed over rather than explained in a meaningful way.

acording to Richard Amritage (and other sources as we see) Thorin is 5 foot 2 (157 cm) but in my book it says he's 152..cm... i am not complaining... thorin is the same height as me
