do sympathize PJ, because probably choosing which scenes to stay and which to be left out was a very hard job.
But obviously there were some parts that had to be left out. As far as I remember the ROTK EE will be 250 minutes long (50 minutes extra:)) ) And even if I can spend a whole day in the theatres watching the movie, I do understand that from a comercial point of view it is tooo long.
I just hope that there is even much more material left out of the EEs, which will be added in the versions later.:) But I am afraid it is just a hope.
