I have had to watch LOTR twice now for my fiance. They are soooo long.

Did you get the Special Extended Edition?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think I said no to the extended edition, lol.

How can you watch LOTR but not the extended edition? It’s outrageous it’s unfair!

I asked her, she agrees with you. I'm not a good partner apparently.

@nitefox federation is trippy. I'm seeing this and replying on Mastodon timeline but it's a Lemmy post 😳

But it'd like 9 hours isn't it? It's sooo difficult to sit through the movies in the first place. It's not even that I don't like them, they're just so damn long.

It's 12,5 hours total. But the thing is, the extended edition is more like the original and the other has been unduly chopped down for theatrical limitations. It's missing essential scenes basically.

Got to give your wife the long...

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This gave me quite a chuckle.

Not long enough

Mine tried to go for a weekend marathon. I cannot give that much attention to anything in my life ever.

It doesn't take a weekend, you do that in a mere 11.5 hours
