Ha, my wife does this too because she's read the books and I haven't.
I have had to watch LOTR twice now for my fiance. They are soooo long.
Did you get the Special Extended Edition?
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.
Your fiance deserves better.
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.
