As expected, the Extended Edition of Two Towers is extraordinarily good. And when I say extraordinarily good, those who know me will be aware that I mean more Ents. The Song of the Entwives is there, and the Entdraught and a longer Entmoot. I’m pretty sure in the background of one of the scenes you can see the Entmobile and some Rohirrim using the Entsignal. I think the Ents should have their own spin-off movies. It was good enough for the Ewoks. They could do a kung-fu movie called Enter the Ent. I’ll start again.
The Extended Edition of Two Towers is extraordinarily good. Watching it makes you realise how many ways they had to compromise the films. I always thought the changes from the book (Elves arriving at Helm’s Deep and the changes to Faramir) were reasonably sensible, but they make even more sense when you see the scenes leading up them.
The production quality is likewise extraordinary, except for one spelling mistake on Disc Three - has anyone else spotted it yet?
Your heart is where it’s always been, your head is somewhere in between.

Grrrr, Ent spin off movies were my idea.
All the Ent spin offs would have one really stupid Ent called Woody, who would be clumsy and we would laugh at him.
And another Ent who is the geek one, who has all the good ideas, but is never the hero.

Yeah, but yours didn’t have an Entmobile. I think it would look like the Beverley Hillbillies car, but much bigger, and it would fly like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
