I must remember to take an entire tissue box to the last one.
Very sad that you aren't seeing them in the cinema :( Our timing is about the same - I did make it to bed by about 12.30, so not much winding down, but I would have gone to see the second the next day if it had been on, I enjoyed it all so much. I'd seen the extendeds on dvd but never in the theatre. Gorgeous movies, indeed :)
And I loved the way he used the camera in the special effects - that shot from Gandalf on the spires of Orthanc diving all the way down to the orcs labouring in the mines below - even now I can't believe they weren't in a helicopter filming the whole thing in reality :)
