Wow! I really didn't think that anyone would have a problem getting this!!! OK, not to annoy any of you further but I got my copy on Friday thr 8th!!!! I got it from Blackstar in the UK. (www.blackstar.co.uk) They always send slightly early so as to make sure you get it on release day. As for all the deleted scenes... SPOILER ALERT!!!<P>Still here?<P>ok then, this is what I can remember...<P>There is an exta peice showing Isildur putting the Ring on and making for the Anduin when they are attacked.<BR>Then theres about 7 mins worth added at the start with Bilbo giving you the low down on the shire, not Gandalf! As well as totaly new scenes, theres compleatly new takes of old scenes! Bilbo is writing the Red Book and thinks he's lost the Ring. Theres a nice Scene of him losing his temper 'cause he can't find it! Theres an extra part with Gandalf and Bilbo at bagend but nothing significant. The next major Scene is the small introduction of the Sackville-baggins' and Bilbo and Frodo hiding from them at the party then having a nice moment together. The next nice moment is in the Grren Dragon pub. This shows a little more of all the Hobbits but now including the famous talk (slightly altered) of the Gaffer and Ted Sandyman talking about things going on in the world at large. Plus a little moment with Rosey and Sam. The next thing I can think of is The Midgewater Marshes and Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien (Viggo wrote this!!! watch the MASSIVE extras!) and the famous line added "would seem fairer but feel fouler" from Frodo. Then I think it's on to Rivendel where the Council has a better twist with Gandalf booming the Blackspeech of the Ring to the dismay of all!!! Theres a nice moment added where they leave Imladris (actually called this at one point now!) with Frodo not knowing wheather to go left or right. Beatiful unspoken moment between Aragorn and Arwen too. Oh, I forgot the part with Aragorn cleaning his mothers grave and discusing it all with elrond plus a new moment between Boromir and Aragorn. The next lot of added scenes are at Kazad Doom. As I said before, Gandalf is shown losing his temper with Pip. Theres a nice scene between Gandalf and Frodo discussing the power of the Ring and how it is effecting the Fellowship, and there are more scenes inside explaining the mining of Mithril and it's value. Gollum is actually called smeagol at one point to! Ok, got to go to work now but if you want the rest, let me know and I'll post it.
