Different release dates a bummer! Do all have the TE that wanted it?

I lost the link to the worldwide release dates for BOFA - but thought the UK was getting it by the 20th? And it seems to have been released in Germany. Tho I remember some IMO *outrageous* release dates.... I know folks are holding out for the EE. But for me, as with the other two movies, I completely enjoy having the TEs in house - it's lovely being able to watch the Hobbit films back-to-back if I like. Tho I don't envision what PJ & Phillipa seemed to be suggesting - watching all six movies back to back. Maybe if I were sick stuck on a couch or at a huge marathon - e.g. for the BOFA marathon as the theater manager said "we were all going to be there 9 hours". That was fun, but I think in general 3 films at a time is a limit, for me. Probably.

Mine arrived on the 20th and I'm really enjoying seeing it again. And again, and again....

Yes, that was it! I knew it had been posted but couldn't remember the thread.

IMO LOTR and the Hobbit films both - amazing rewatchability! I am happy you have your copy (finally). And for me - maybe all BR's are like this but I particularly notice with the Hobbit films - the picture quality and imagery is IMO outstanding. I am just so happy to be able to pause scenes and replay. And luxuriate in the details of the broken statues of Erebor, the carvings on the bell, Thranduil's elk, the way the wereworms grind rock and just spit it out, costumes, the teeth-like wall of ice shot when Legolas is fighting, the flames and rendering of Smaug. The work on this film is staggering!
Hó , Það sé ég föður minn Hó , Það sé ég móður mína, og Hó, Það sé ég bræður mínir og systur mínar Hó , Það sé ég mitt fólk aftur í byrjun Hó, gera Þeir kalla til mín, og bjóða mér að taka minn stað meðal þeirra í sölum Valhallar Hvar hugrakkir mun lifa að eilífu

no matter how much I like (or love) a particular scene. Why wear out the Blu-ray/DVD before it's time? I also don't watch a movie more when I own it at home than I do in the theater (it's about the same). I got my copy on release day, but have only watched it once so far. Even in the theater, I didn't see BoFA as much as the other two, since I only managed to catch it six times (it would have been eight if I wouldn't have skipped those two weeks I could have gone, which would have tied it with the TT). In contrast, I saw DoS eleven times (all in 3D, including once in the new HFR 3D) and AUJ ten times (in all three formats, much like BoFA). It's not that I hate BoFA, I just find it too emotionally draining (and I don't fast forward through scenes either, since it's the whole movie or nothing), which is why I'm not in a rush to see it again (though I may give it a watch tomorrow, we'll see). Since I'm on Tumblr, I don't really have to rewatch it, since there's many posts of scenes that I do like.

The depth of imagination and artwork that went into some of these scenes. I think we take such a lot for granted now - I have to pinch myself sometimes to believe what I'm actually seeing. Almost every frame is like an illustration. And coming back to it now after several months there are so many details I'd forgotten or just didn't notice before.

because eight months or so usually gives me just enough time to wear out my TEs...
“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

...at least, that's what I aim to do. It makes the EE scenes stand out so much more... For me that's been one of the defining things about these films. It's like suddenly finding that there are chapters of a favourite book that you've never read - and the EE scenes often become my favourites. Before 'Fellowship' I had only ever seen deleted scenes. That's OK in its way but it's frustrating too, because they can only ever be might-have-beens - you never see them in context.
