Thing is, though they didn't love it on the first viewing, they liked it well enough. And, despite all my grumpiness, so did I. However, the second watching was just beyond human abilities...

The reason being, most likely, that the Chinese have reserved the Hobbit movies for their Great Wall.

I'm sure Queen Beruthiel would not be amused.

Ha! "Kind as summer" indeed.

Poor, darling Hugo..mind you most cats get grumpy when other cats take over their house and eat all their food....

A friend is threatening me with the extended edition. I am hoping I have moved house before that is released.

Those are spot on!

I just noticed that Thorin has several photos and look-a-likes.

Clearly a fan of the man!

Extending the already interminable. What a concept.

I can just imagine thirty additional minutes of "pixels hanging over the edge of a cliff" or "pixels falling without injury down into yawning chasms" -- that kind of stuff.

Saw it once. Shame on them for fooling me. Saw it twice? No way. That would make a fool out of me.

The CIA tried to use the extended version in place of waterboarding as an enhanced interrogation technique. Unfortunately, many prisoners died of old age prior to divulging information.

Hi everyone, new user, just registered. I lurked here for a bit about a month ago while I was active on the TORn forums. All I can say is I'm glad that this seems like a place where people can comfortably express their distaste for AUJ.

I saw AUJ twice in theaters (we all make mistakes right?

). Looking back I feel like I was probably in denial about the overall lower quality of the film. After unwisely purchasing the blu-ray in anticipation of the extremely disappointing live stream event (which felt like heavy handed PR with a Warner Bros representative off screen holding a gun to everyone's head), and several in-home viewings, the film just doesn't hold up for me anymore.

So now I'm stuck with a blu-ray/dvd pack that I just want to snap in half.

I'm sure you've all discussed the minor/major details at great length so I won't get in to that. Well I think I've learned my lesson now. No AUJ EE for me, and no DOS and TABA either.
