    If I’m already spending ~$555 to watch the trilogy, I’d like the most bang for my buck, if I can afford it. But apparently I can’t even afford to watch the theatrical cut anymore. It figures. I knew it was coming eventually.

      Fair point. If you’re already spending $555 to watch a movie, what’s another $150 for all of it?

      I guess my thought was that if my time is worth money, would it be worth my extra time/money to watch the extra bits over say, attending to other aspects of my life? Does the extra footage really enhance the overall viewing pleasure? If I recall one of the scenes was a tree getting high with Gandalf? I don’t remember, it’s why I’m asking.

        I never wanted those movies to end, so I was always happy with more. I always think of the scene with the creepy gatekeeper guy with the winning smile. All but removed from the theatrical cut.
