Right. Which makes sense, given that he is a lone woodsman and not a King.
All I know is that I want a house like that to summer in.
- More Beorn
- A lot more Mirkwood and the enchanted river in it.
-More of Bilbo wandering through Thranduil's palace and trying to figure out how to save the dwarves.
-No more barrels please!
-No more Legotauriel hack-n-slash please!
-A better glimpse of Erebor's gates from the outside.
-Any scene with more character moments.
I have a feeling that we're going to get a really good EE this time. There just seems to be a lot of room to add things, and we already know about some missing scenes like Thorin shooting the deer (or doing something with a bow, anyway) and Bombur falling asleep.
Speaking of which, I still need to watch the AUJ EE...
Martin Freemen describes it at the end of his interview.
James Nesbitt explains why Bofur was really left behind in Lake-town!
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

I'll believe it when I see it. And perhaps not even then.

Can you give a summary that doesn't require listening to an hour and a half long podcast?
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

Actually you only need to listen to the first 38 mins for both interviews....the rest is an EMPIRE panellists' discussion of DoS
But if you still can't be bothered it was due to him having time off to film the latest episodes of his "Monroe" TV show...though I do think you'd enjoy both interviews.

I will definitely listen to it when I get the chance!

I am in complete agreement with you on all these.
I would like the freeing of the dwarves to be a little more complicated than the easy peasy way it was done.
I would like to know more about Thranduil and that face burning affliction.
I want more quiet moments with more backstory.
More of the high fells please.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers
Freeman says they shot a scene that is similar to the book, but with a reversal. The dwarves emerge from the house to meet Beorn...
He says that it involved Gandalf and Bilbo talking to Beorn outside in the morning, while Beorn chops wood with his shirt off (we've seen that image from a DOS calendar). Beorn asks if there is anyone else with them, and Gandalf says something like: "there may be a few dwarves..." He then proceeds to introduce them two by two, as they emerge from the house. This would then have been followed by the scene at the table.
There are a few reasons I'm not sure this will make it into the EE.
1. In the theatrical, Beorn walks into the house at night. So he knows there are a bunch of dwarves there.
2. Bear Beorn chased a bunch of dwarves into his house, so he would've known before he even entered!
Despite this, I hope the scene makes it into the EE.
ETA: Freeman only said that it was shot, not that it will be in the EE. He does not know what will be in the EE, which makes sense. Only PJ and company likely know at this point.
