Fair point. If you’re already spending $555 to watch a movie, what’s another $150 for all of it?

I guess my thought was that if my time is worth money, would it be worth my extra time/money to watch the extra bits over say, attending to other aspects of my life? Does the extra footage really enhance the overall viewing pleasure? If I recall one of the scenes was a tree getting high with Gandalf? I don’t remember, it’s why I’m asking.

I never wanted those movies to end, so I was always happy with more. I always think of the scene with the creepy gatekeeper guy with the winning smile. All but removed from the theatrical cut.

Edit: The Mouth of Sauron is what I was thinking of: https://youtu.be/To_RJ_mPNqM
