So little time, so much to see...(=DVD problems) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On sunday I will finally get to see the extended edition DVD ! Hip hip hurrah! Unfortunatly it still won't be my precious, but my frinds. And because she probably won't want to watch 6 hours of "making of" -documents (yes, I know, there's something wrong with her ) we'll have to choose what to watch. So if you all could help me out here, and tell me what you liked best and would recommend? And the other features too, wich ones of them are worth seeing? thanks.

How much will your friend want to watch? I think I'd just completely skip the first disk. Make sure you watch "The Fellowship of the Cast", which I found really entertaining. The whole second disk is pretty good.

Yeah, "Fellowship of the Cast" is good, as well as "A Day in the Life of a Hobbit". Some really funny things in that one. I also recommend the cast commentaries ([un]fortunately, you have to watch the entire movie again to hear them), and a few of the storyboards are pretty good.

i got the dvd and i enjoyed watching the digital grading short and the wete workshop/digital documentaries. the directors comentary is pretty good as well

Anything involving the actors is very entertaining, even the feature length commentaryTrying to remember some more right now, thinking Here are some of my favorites, if I remember right"The road goes ever on", "Cameras in Middle-earth", the ones the other people said, I like the ones involving Costume Design, and the one about Weta Workshop, on the first appendices disk because it is amazing all the details they go into. And the Bag End Set Test, it is funny seeing the producer trying to play Frodo

Thanks for your help, everyone. I think we'll definetly watch at least one of the cast-documentarys ("A Day in a Life of a Hobbit" sounds too good to be true...), and I just HAVE to see the movie-length commentary. If only I had my own player...Ah well, this is better than nothing.
