I’m assuming he'll make you watch it again, regardless of your enjoyment. Like, if you don’t love it, he'll say he didn’t explain enough or you missed something. If you do enjoy it, he'll say you won’t mind watching it again.

So, good luck.

And you will get an explanation either way, each time deeper and longer than the previous… either you live or join the cult, no in between

To be fair, he's been into Tolkien since adolescence and is really excited to share. It's just... intense.

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?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

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.

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