Jan Backing Track Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 The mouth of Sauron is probably the biggest change from the original to the extended cut...it changes that whole scene and section of the movie really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arc makes so much more sense with the scouring. Yeah it's funny how important and full of depth his character actually is, but for the movie's sake he's just the dick wizard opposite of Gandalf who dies by trees with some beef. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed that Aragorn gives no fucks context also and loss of hope from their perspective prior to the Black Gate battle (the best one imo). Aragorn's charge still gives me more sexual pleasure than any girlfriend of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Mouth of Sauron is great. Also a big fan of the extra scene with Boromir, Faramir and Denethor. Adds a lot to the Boromir and Faramir relationship. I can’t even remember the last time I watched the theatricals. The extended are the films for me. I forget which scenes are extended only. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extended cuts are a bastard, you can never see the originals as the same again, and make you constantly compare the two. I don't love the movie Hateful Eight, but the extended version gave it such better context and whenever I see a deleted scene from a favorite movie, I always am like 'that needed to be in there!' I'd be a terrible editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just watched Spotlight. Fair play, really fucking good film. Ruffalo is a better actor than I give him credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum got me the set around the time Two Towers came out I think. I was too young to appreciate them. Now that I’m older it’s easy to see how great they are. You should seriously consider giving them another go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I remember the prefix being the best thing I've ever read to date, I can't remember if that was a separate book (the war with Sauron) or just the prelude to the book in the fellowship book itself. Apologize if that was a total of 5 pages and I'm an idiot. The movies are just so damn good though, it's hard not to want to delve in immediately whenever I get a chapter in or whatever.
