Go Deeper Into Desolation



This post is for those who actually liked The Hobbit (Part 2), and have an interest in the trilogy's extended editions.


On November 4th, the second of the three Hobbit films gets its extended edition release on pretty much all formats. I am choosing to highlight the 2D blu-ray version of the film. 

You get:

- 25 extra minutes of the film re-inserted seamlessly into the runtime.
- Filmmakers’ Commentary
- New Zealand: Home of Middle-earth – Part 2
- The Appendices Part 9: Into the Wilderland: The Chronicles of The Hobbit – Part 2 – Join cast and crew as they share their experiences making the second installment of The Hobbit trilogy in this comprehensive chronology of the production, featuring blocking and filming of key sequences – from Lake-town to Smaug’s lair – stories from the set, stunts, special effects, VFX and much more...
- The Appendices Part 10: The Journey to Erebor – Meet new characters and creatures joining the adventure while taking a revealing look at Howard Shore’s brilliant score, then watch Smaug the Magnificent and the realms of Middle-earth evolve from concept to creation, all to be captured in pioneering high-frame-rate 3D technology.

I myself am holding off on getting this and the first extended edition, as I want to get the 2D blu-ray trilogy set. Should one not exist for whatever reason (in 3D only, for example) then I will get the first extended edition, the one shown here, and the 2D extended blu-ray for Part 3 all in one purchase. I am glad that the cover art 'matches' the style for Part 1, and imagine that Part 3 also will.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
