[QUOTE="Valavien, post: 125044, member: 1085"] Here is another thought. It's been said before that the new scenes are crucial to the next movie. These are the scenes in the November release, one month before the second film. They may only want to release the November version but the rental stores wan't to cash in on the movie so they wan't their usual 6 month release time. Then again, another slant on the august release is that alot of people who saw the films had not read the books or have not read them for a long time so they didn't even notice so they like it how it is. So some people will like the normal version and some people will like the extended version. How about this - They want to make the final edit as good as possible so they release the cinema version just so people can get it without having to wait almost util the next film comes out so they have more time to make it right. This way the extended version will be fresh in everyones minds so they realise what is different becuase they have seen the cinema version so many times they know it backwards. Just like the Star Wars Special Editions, who picked out every new scene because they knew the old one's so well? I did, and wasn't it almost like seeing a new film, with all of the excitement of seeing it the first time. Monte Cook's rant about why books are better than films is well worth a read... [/QUOTE]
