I've got a 4 year-old and a 2 year-old, so I feel your pain (and joy).

yeah, I've got a 3 year old and almost 5 year old. My ability to watch these and many other blu's is severely limited. Don't want to give the little guys nightmares!

I can relate. I'm going to try and wrap up the last hour of the directors cut of Watchmen in between my 18 months naps today. I think once I get a BD and flatscreen downstairs it will be a bit easier to watch movies at my leisure. Like most of you dad's, my viewing times are once everyone has gone to bed. My wife and I tend to watch our sitcoms when winding him down to go to bed. Of course this means our hour shows tend to stack up. Anyway, back on point. I think I'll wait until after The Hobbit is released to see if he does some sort of ultimate edition. I have the dvd sets of the LOTR EE's and don't see much of a reason to upgrade right now.

I loved the EEs on DVD and I got TEs on BD as a gift. While not the usual way to double dip (as in buying twice), I will get the EEs for sure.

Count me in, a 5 and 1 year old. However, I think I am a blu-ray snob, for if I can't play these movies as loud as they are intended to be IMO, then I won't watch them at all, let alone watch them the entire way thru without interruption. Nothing worse then the oliphants rumbling across the Pelennor Fields and sounding like they are the size of a hobbit.

How on earth do you find the time to do that when you have young kids?

Already got theatrical release.....so don't mind with this EE version...anyway if the price drop down, why not

Crimson King · 01-19-2011, 01:42 AM

I hope they don't split the presentations in two like they did w/ DVD's. All on one disc New Line..., pleeze!

Never thought of it that way before!

Anyway, back on topic I think Frank Zappa would have loved the extended editions.

2 yr old and 5 month old here. I'm like you, wait for the right time to watch a blu in its entirety and of course at the proper volume! Of course, those times are few and far between!

motorheadache95 · 01-19-2011, 06:18 AM

See, I actually like having the movies split across two discs, and not because of any bit rate arguments. These movies are freaking long, and the split between discs creates a great "intermission" in the middle. In fact, the moments they choose to stop and restart on work very well, IMO.

I've always watched the EE's as a 6-part series as opposed to watching 3 overly long films, so my vote is for keeping the films split-- not that what I think matters, they'll release them how they release them, but it's my preference. I'll be buying them either way.

And I know some of you guys like to watch the entire film in one go, but c'mon-- you should take a moment or two to stretch and go the bathroom anyway!

frogmort · 03-01-2011, 05:56 AM

Wow, not much action on here in a while. I wish we could get some kind of update. It's been a month and a half since it was mentioned.
