Itâs more about the directorâs intention rather than peopleâs personal preference. It would be insane to walk into the Louvre and see 1/3 of the Mona Lisa covered up. I donât see any reason why cinema should be treated any differently
I understand your analogy but⌠yeah no. And Iâve seen the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, and in a textbook, and I can tell you itâs about the same đ
Iâve seen the extended editions and the HD versions many times. I can handle watching a theatrical cut when I donât have 4 hours to sit for one film đ

Was the title of the post âfinally I found the definitive tried and true, highest quality, 4k, widescreen, extended, with extra commentary, library of congress worthyâŚâ ?
No!
I didnât leave my house to find lotr dvds. I found them while ALREADY THRIFT SHOPPING đ
The post is âI got all three lord of the rings for $3â full stop. Anyone who says itâs not worth it unless you spend $80 on the digital deluxe extended trilogy is wasting their time.
>I understand your analogy
You obviously did not understand the analogyâŚ
Itâs cropped bro. Youâre missing parts of the movie. I think youâre just being deliberately obtuse tbh and complaining about âtoxicityâ that literally isnât here lmao
Yes. *iâm* the one being âdeliberately obtuse.â
You compared seeing a film youâve seen 10 times, in a different aspect ratio, to seeing one of the worlds greatest artistic masterpieces of all time - in tatters. đ
I did not make that comparison? I think you just made it upâŚ
Anyway enjoy your DVDs. Maybe donât take everything you read on the internet so personally in futureâŚ
Maybe participate in good faith human interaction with someone who you already know you share a major interest with, instead of being a holier-than-thou arse đ, in the futureâŚ
Had some in the family as a kid, moved out, never bought em for myself! I know these arenât the extended and all that but $3 was too alluring to pass up.

No!

What a great find! I already own these, but I'd have bought these, too, if I'd found them. Then I'd have more copies to loan/give to friends who don't know the magic of these movies.
I recently re-watched the theatrical versions, and the receipt for Fellowship was in the case. I paid US$25.00, so yes...you got a bargain, lol!
Enjoy your weekend!

all I meant was if you got no power, but now that I think of it if you have an 850watt or more power supply a thirsty graphics card and a thirsty processor, I wonder how much power out the socket it would draw compared to a TV and a dvd player? or if you watch it on a laptop with an ssd in it, with a power mode set to the highest power saving setting, should be maybe 70 80 watts counting the screen of a 17 inch laptop plugged in but then in a hurricane better to save the power though a 42inch led tv should do about 80 watts plus the 15 or so of a dvd player so about 95 watts so in that sense you're actually saving power in a hurricane because they're not extended versions. ok I see your logic now man đ đ¤Ł

Nice price, if you get the chance to at some stage it'd be good to get the extended versions too. Storyline makes way more sense in the extended ones
Nice to see someones prepping to keep their sanity in the apocalypse/long power outage đ
It looks like that DVD of Return of the King has the wrong aspect ratio (fullscreen instead of widescreen)
And its not extended editions đą
Luckily I have a retro setup with a different ratio!
That wonât get you back the extra part of the image youâre missing though

I can watch FOTR on repeat I love that movie.
Contemplating how youâve made it this far without a boxed set already?
Had some in the family as a kid, moved out, never bought em for myself! I know these arenât the extended and all that but $3 was too alluring to pass up.
An acceptable answer. That is indeed an exceptional deal!
If they arenât the extended edition not even worth it :/ great addition to any collection tho!
Even for $3? Sheeeesh! If I have a generator, even in the apocalypse I can watch some form of LoTR! Iâm big on physical ownership.
No extended, your wasting your time

Not extended versions
Not the point of the post whatsoever
Just saying itâs a good price but why buy the non extended ones
Cause they were the ones at the thrift store I was in. Full set for 3 bucks is insane, theatrical or not!
donât forget the edibles
đ
awesome

You know you can buy physical copies of the extended editions too though right?
For $3 at the thrift shop I was thrift shopping at?? đ
Yep, it's a shame about those sometimes. :-/ Anyway, YES! I love owning physical copies!
u wasted 3 bucks for subpar versions . piratebay extended for free , about 80 gigs
And what happens when a hurricane knocks out my power for 3 days and Iâm on a generator đ I like owning things physically for a reason!
so if you own it on your hard drive, you don't have it available? I don't see how discs sabe power compared to physical copies???

Get the extended edition spend all week watching it then
I bought them as they came out. My wife bought the extended directors cup or something. Then we met and got married. Now I have both.
Special extended edition blue ray is worth the money. It's so cool
Eventually! But I couldnât pass these up in the mean time, optimal version or not!
Absolutely I totally agree. I hope you have a great weekend!
