Wife: You can pick a movie for tonight
Cate Blanchett: The world is changed. I feel it in the water…
Wife: God damnit not again
I remember, I saw the theatrical once, in theater.
And now you can see the extended in theater (seriously, this weekend, 1 movie each day through Monday for Cinemark)
I saw Fellowship at AMC last week. I didn’t realize it was the extended version when I bought the tickets. But it started EXACTLY on time with no previews, which was amazing in itself, then I noticed it was the extended version and was soooo happy. One of the best theater experiences in my life.
I saw the entire extended trilogy in theatre two weeks ago.
We started at 11:30 and the last movie ended at about 23:55 (excluding the extremely long credits)
There were only two breaks, one 15 min long after the first film and one 30 min long after the second film.
There have been a lot of them around this time for some mysterious reason…
Its funny, the LOTR trilogy is pretty much mandagory to watch the extended cuts. The Hobbit “trilogy” is pretty much mandatory to watch the fan-edit shortened feature, “There And Back Again, A Hobbit’s Tale.”
I think theatrical is better suited for first timers. It’s what we all started with, after all.
I wasn’t a huge LOTR fan before the movies. Saw them in theaters and felt there were some confusing bits, and stuff wasn’t explained well.
Fast forward to the extended editions, and everything makes total sense. The only movies that truly made the extended versions almost mandatory.
