And while I mention it I did FINALLY get the extended edtion of An Unexpected Journey in 3D (No Black Friday sale, wt****!!!???? Still, I don't regret paying the 40 bucks on Amazon that I did as the movie probably won't go on sale again for ages and I had to have it finally before the sequel lol) and am loving it!

Thanks for the info Mseeley. I see the extended version is now on sale for $22.99 at

[Show spoiler] Just kidding.

What would you say was added to the movie for the extra 13 minutes? Thanks.
Azog is an awesome villain in the first Hobbit. I hope we get a great confrontation in part 2 this Friday.

Nice! Sounds good. Cinemark has a lot of their theater times already posted and many showings will have HFR 3D for Hobbit part II.

Should be a fun experience. Looking forward to it, and likely the blu ray 3D disc by spring 2014.
