I was watching the extended versions over the weekend, and listened to the director/writers commentary, and I must say that I'd love to see them do a chronological cut of the trilogy. I was thinking about it, and they could still do the Galadriel narration, but when she gets to "It snared a new bearer," they could cut to the Smeagol/Deagol prologue from RotK, and then cut back to the narration when Gollum says, "My Precious" at the end.

Oh, where his eyes change? I love that bit. I noticed it first time 'round too. t /proud

edit: referring to the prologue

Any idea on what the easter eggs might be on the DVD?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yeah, his eyes do change. But I meant the change from Andy Serkis with appliances to CGI Gollum. The eye sockets changed, the bone orbits, from what you could apply onto a human skull to what could only have been done digitally. The shift was so subtle I wasn't really aware I'd noticed it the first few viewings.

Oh, I see what you mean, Beverly; it hadn't occurred to me that that was the shift from human actor to CGI. Very nicely done.

Maybe if you are a nice girl, I'll bring it with me. :))

And what Beverly said. It was eerie the change from Andy Serkis to CGI Gollum. Amazing.
