Matthew, many of the scenes that you mentioned as missing from The Fellowship of the Ring movie will be in the extended DVD version in November (with the exception of Tom Bombadil). In the extended version you'll get to see the hobbits sing and dance at Bree. Plus you'll see the gift giving in Lothlorien. Regarding the Ents, you must not have caught the preview to The Two Towers that was attached to the end of Fellowship of the Ring - it clearly shows Pippin climbing a "tree" that turns out to have eyes - obviously Treebeard. I believe I read that John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) will also provide the voice for Treebeard. Hopefully we'll see the Ents storming Isengard. And your spelling wasn't too bad (Galadriel and Gimli).
