"A 532 minute trilogy cut to a single 247 minute film
Well over 600 actual edits and trims made An Intermission splits the film in half, at the exact point where Peter Jackson originally intended to split the Hobbit when it was still two films. Overall, the film remains focused on Bilbo and the dwarves. Unnecessary subplots, characters, and CGI silliness have been jettisoned. That means no Tauriel. Color corrected in several sequences to match LOTR’s visuals more. Numerous digital alterations, including a new opening title, gold coating removed from Smaug, Radagast erased from an eagle flyover shot, etc. Orc subtitles altered to explain plot adjustments Several unused music cues by Howard Shore have been re-inserted in key scenes, including the famous Misty Mountains theme that was abandoned after AUJ. Various scenes from the Extended Editions have also been added where needed. Yes, Thorin’s funeral is in here." Trailer: https://youtu.be/85gVFD7Dqwk?si=OEclgnSm3LnVZzW0

"Imagine standing atop the Empire State Building with an 8-foot-wide grappling hook on a 1-inch-diameter steel rope. Your task is to lower the hook to the street below, snag a compact car full of gold, and lift the car back to the top of the building. On top of that, the job has to be done without anyone noticing. That, essentially, describes what the CIA did in Project AZORIAN, a highly secret six-year effort to retrieve a sunken Soviet submarine from the Pacific Ocean floor during the Cold War."
