    To be fair, sometimes I just want to watch the trilogy and I don’t want it to take an entire week…

          The parenthesis is not there to provide the cited source, but rather to specify what to do with the time that is given to us (watch the fellowship of the ring)

      It takes less than 12 hours…

        Yes, it would probably take me 3 or 4 days to watch 12 hours of LOTR or anything else for that matter. I just can’t sit still that long.

          Sounds like you need some exercise equipment in front of your TV. This solution is definitely more practical than spreading a LOTR marathon over multiple days.

            That’s not a terrible idea, but I really don’t need an incentive to watch more tv. I already watch a LOT of it. My exercise time is when I go outside and enjoy nature. Well, as much nature as there is the 5 or so mile radius around my house anyways

    The theatrical versions are the definitive versions. I regard the extended cuts as being a novelty for the fans that really want to see the extra material.

      And George Lucas regards the “special editions” (with added CGI crap) of the original Star Wars trilogy as the definitive versions. That doesn’t make it true. I think The Death of the Author or something similar would apply here…

    I’m the one who owns a copy of the theatrical releases.

    I bought them on a deep discount sale at a time in my life when that was literally a big purchase which I could hardly afford and I did it partially because I was hoping to watch it with a friend who was a big LOTR fan. I wanted to spend time together and see it through his eyes because as much as I liked the movies, I didn’t think they were A+ tier.

    When I mentioned watching the trilogy together sometime, his first question was “are they the extended versions?” When I said no, his response was “I’ll pass.”

    Soul crushing.

      Man, that really sucks. I’d prefer the extended ones, naturally, but if my friend wanted to watch LOTR with me, I’d sit down and watch whichever one they’ve got, only question is who’s got the popcorn.

      Sounds like he’s a poser. A real True Fan ™ would have accepted your offer and watched the theatrical release with you. Then, when the third movie ends, bust out his own copy of the extended version and insist on watching them immediately in one long marathon to teach you the error of your ways.

      Woah! Hot take. The mouth of Sauron is some of the coolest content that was cut.

      Maybe Saruman shooting fireballs could have been left behind.

      Especially Return of the King, yeah.

      Having the “Surprise - ghost army!” thing happen twice kinda ruined it. In the theater having them swarm out of the ships was a real “Wow” moment and I’m glad it wasn’t spoiled like it was in the extended editions.

    Funny thing I remember about the original trilogy, is that the extended cut DVDs weren’t even encrypted…

    Don’t demean cats like that, cats are far better that pick up artists, and we all know it.

    They’re more lovable and moral for starters…
