There and back again

Like a hobbit enjoying his second breakfast I opened my second Christmas gift, the "special edition, extended version" DVD of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring.  There's nearly four hours of my life that I'll not see again but I did enjoy it ... although nothing like as much as I enjoyed my first breakfast / gift.

In one of my favourite moments Sean Bean as Boromir rolls his eyes in the mines of Moria as he says to Aragorn, "They have a cave troll."  Lots of fun.  The added footage does improve on the original film.
