I really liked Aragorn singing the Ley of Leithian in Fellowship. And also "how many did you eat?"
The scene that stands out to me as one that needed to be cut was anything with Gimli in the Paths of the Dead. Really, the whole movie trilogy did Gimli dirty.
I really like how in the movies Merry and Pippin literally stumble across Frodo and Sam, immediately have to hide from a guy that looks like Satan and just fuck right off with them not even knowing what's going on at all.
me, who has never watched or read LOTR: :live-slug-reaction:
This was me until my partner made me watch them all
The extended editions too
GOOD partner
I know, she's pretty great
Well, I probably would have been okay with the theatrical version, but she was insistent on showing me everything that was different than the books
Good call. The theatrical versions may as well not exist imo.
Are the extended editions recommended? I was thinking of playing some version of LotR as background noise while I pretend to work.
Oh yeah, any LOTR fan worth their salt would recommend the extended editions.
ehhh the theatrical cut of return cuts a ton of chaff at the expense of 2 just good scenes
Which 2?
saruman dying & gimli getting drunk. the rest of the cuts are very justified

I always watch extended editions but I will say that as films the cuts are better
You two would probably get along swimmingly
I mean, you'd get along with me too, but you'd have to be fine with me being a little high and cracking jokes during the movie
Riffing is a requirement.
My favorite bit so far is just asking "Is that Tom Bombadil?" every time someone new shows up
