Extended cut Lord Of The Rings trilogy is like 9 hours long.

Fuck Netflix, I have my own copy!

The extended editions are almost 12 hours long. 9 hours is the theatrical cut.

You must have obtained a different version then, because I ripped the DVDs myself, and I know how to read.

Also, in case you haven't noticed my username, I know how to keep time.

Extended version is around 9 hours, unless you can provide a link to the longer version you mentioned..

Confidently incorrect

One year after the theatrical cut of each Lord of the Rings movie, an extended version arrived. These editions add tons of new footage, increasing the Lord of the Rings extended editions' length from the theatrical runtime of 9 hours and 3 minutes to 11 hours and 36 minutes.

It's not even that hard to google. Why act so rude and so definitively about something you can so easily be proven wrong about?

Nothing is that hard to Google, except fuck Google

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As far as I'm concerned, the verb to google is genericised. You can google on Google, or you can google on Kagi or whatever your preferred search engine is.

Regardless, I think you're attempting to distract from your own rather poor behaviour and factual error. Why be like this?

So they made an extended version of the extended version? Gotcha. I didn't have the good luck of seeing the extended² version that you mention.

You pointed out the 9 hour version I mentioned, which means you know exactly what version I was mentioning, which indeed was released as an extended version.

So shoot the guy that never saw the extended² version...

The entire post was about who the fuck wants to spend 10 hours watching a movie, and how that content is delivered.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, I think the only version you've seen is probably just the regular theatrical version. Which was also available, at least at one point, on DVD.

Okay, we can nitpick this all day and night long, this thread has already extended past the 10 hour mark.

I got the 9 hour version, what the fuck ever, it really doesn't matter anymore.

Bro, it's ok to just admit you were wrong. Admitting you made a mistake and correcting your worldview is a virtue, at least among serious people. You're behaving like a far-right conservative right now, and over something so incredibly petty.

I already said this thread is now over 10 hours old, older than the meme refers to. Please for the love of the new Pope let it fucking go and leave me alone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're free to move on any time you like, I just don't understand why you are so insistent on remaining wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you really that fucking pedantic?

You've already made it absolutely clear that you know the difference between the theatrical version and the extended version.

Good for you, perhaps I made a minor who gives a fuck mistake, I still ripped one of the longer versions.

Go back and read the OG meme. It's been over 10 hours since it's been posted. Hell, it's been over 12 hours now.

Please stop wasting my time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You're wasting your own time every time you choose to reply (you could just...not, and we'd be done here) without apologising for your own rude attitude and acknowledging the honest mistake. I don't care that you made a mistake. It happens. I've done it plenty of times. I'm perplexed about your attitude on everything surrounding the mistake. It's bizarrely combative for something you yourself seem to be saying is not significant.

btw, it's not a "longer version", it's just that even the theatrical versions of the films (the shortest ones regularly available, barring perhaps some sort of "cut for content" abridged copy like aeroplanes and such sometimes have) are over 9 hours long.

I used to do a Godfather-Lord of the Rings marathon on sundays
