Courtesy of the amazing Pryftan *may his/her hands overflow with gold*.
DON'T WATCH IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, A COUPLE OF IMO JUICY TIDBITS here and there . Not that anything mentioned makes it to the final cut, tho. THIS IS ALL SPECULATION.
(And, personally, I will probably only watch the *possible* Bilbo retrieve the trunk once - if he does - because for me it may be even sadder to watch than the funeral, it its way. *SOB*. . Although some of the speculation here is seriously interesting. But who can say what we will EVER see , or what will be *hoarded* for some at-present mythical super-collector-edition cut.)
And maybe any release delays are the result of wanting to put out a collector figure? There were some foul-ups as I recall, re the dwarf bookends...although I eventually got my set. And I still love the barrels sculpture

They apparently discussed what may happen at SDCC this weekend. Their comment on Facebook 2 hours ago was, "Details on EE just got juicier" So maybe we'll find out this weekend!

I watched quite a bit of the podcast. I like those guys, they're super fun to listen to and always have interesting (sometimes far out) theories. That said, they seem to know less about the EE than we do here on the forum. The "juicy" bit of knowledge was that Alfrid has a death scene that was shot, which we already have known for months b/c of the Art Chronicles book.
It's still not confirmed whether this scene is even in the EE. I personally would prefer the 45s-1m to be used elsewhere. As we learned with DOS EE, every extra minute is precious. I still would have loved for them to have added 3 or 4 minutes more and included that incredible scene where the Dwarves are taken before Thranduil.

Urgh. I love Alfrid (Ryan Gage) but for me it turned into too much, like being at a family dinner and someone keeps pushing the overdone dried-out scalloped potatoes on you (here, have some more...)
Personally, I think there was an overload of "see-how-rotten-Alfrid-is" already and having an IMO trite death is more lame - it's more interesting that he just runs off dressed in a skirt IMO. *Sigh*.
Another poster mentioned Thorin/dwarves singing in the AUJ thread - well, yeah. Re BOFA *sigh* how haunting that could have been, the dwarves singing some sad song, echoing through Erebor e.g. the book *puts head down on desk and cries, thinking about how exquisite that could have been*. And the more I watch BOFA, the more I think there had to be a scene where Gandalf has told Thorin about his father, because Thorin's expression and Gandalf's words later make more sense that way - also, why wouldn't an already enraged Thorin say something about Gandalf's reappearance, even if it was some comment about Gandalf abandoning them?
Agree every SECOND is precious and totally agree about the DOS scene. I just don't know how PJ & co. get audience feedback and if they do hear things, how and if they bother to respond to any of it - seeing as PJ did say he "was going to make these movies his way".
I can understand that, but at the same time wish PJ, Philippa, and Fran would take a second look when something clearly is having a tepid response and/or the same *fan wishes* keep popping up in social media (more Fili in BOFA, the Thranduil/dwarves scene, more Beorn, etc.)
*Gloomily* I see these interviews with PJ and Phillipa and while of course all interviews are respectful, I haven't seen an interview yet where some interviewer or fan asks point-blank about the "dwarfless BOFA" or the Thranduil/dwarves scene - it IS Sir Peter and without him these movies wouldn't be, but how are PJ & co. getting feedback if everyone asks the same vanilla questions all the time? After all, re EEs especially, the PAYING customers - which most of the time are probably not eleven-year old girls - may not want to pay to see even more Alfrid (as for me it got annoying vs. funny and it infuriates me that Alfrid had more direct engagement than the wonderful Fili/dwarves ).
But at the end of day, because every second is precious, I'll buy the EE - for the chariot race, for possibly Thorin "everything I did, I did for them", for possibly some better editing that doesn't have a pace like the TE. Even if I don't get more of Thranduil fighting or Fili actually having some juicy scenes or more Beorn.

I totally agree, I wish someone would mention the Thranduil Dwarves scene to PJ in an interview, i'm sure WB and PJ are already thinking ahead to the "Ultimate Box Set." Whether that included additional scenes in the film or set aside as separate deleted scenes, remains to be seen.
Re: the dwarves singing, there has been speculation that there will be a singing reprise at the funeral. John Callen inadvertently hinted at it in a video interview that there was chanting by the dwarves at the funeral and proceeded to recall a couple lines that were very similar to those lyrics from the book. I hope that its included. It would very much help the film FEEL like a conclusion to the story started in AUJ.
