Lord of the Rings deleted scenes not used in extended editions

Just found this list on Wikipedia:

I had heard about some of these but not all. Hope we do see them on Blu-Ray as the article suggests, would be interesting to see Aragorn's death.

Even more deleted scenes

 

Don't forget the even more extended "celebration in the bedroom" scene, which now also includes separate entrances and jumping-onto-the-bed by:

 

I always want Boromir to come in and be like "FOOOOLED YOOOUU!"

 

The only thing listed that I really miss was Sam and the Watchers. You can see him pass by them as he enters Cirith Ungol in the film, which makes it more frustrating knowing that a scene was cut.

A mention that Legolas took Gimli with him as he went over Sea would have been nice too.

 

bahaha

Will anyone ever make a Spaceballs type parody of LOTR?

 

..and bonus points for using the circumflex!

 

I've never been able to reconcile the big set battles and grand vistas with all the utter pap he managed to draw out into a seemingly endless sequence. If I never again see two people gazing at each other mistily, with a giant orchestral soundtrack, it'll be too soon

 

I rather suspect the "Arwen meets a beardless Aragorn" scene may make it into the second GDT Hobbit film, if indeed it's going to bridge to the trilogy.

 

Yeah, I saw them and thought "sweet!".

Then CUT to him inside the fortress. Darn.

 

Is there anyone here who actually likes the original, theatrical versions? There IS some appeal in being able to sit through the entire thing in one day. Couple years back, some friends and I tried to marathon the three EE films. I'm still not on speaking terms with some of them...

All movies have extra scenes that are cut for a reason... The extended versions are long enough (& great), just let it be.

Many of the 'missing scenes' are also alternate takes that had to be discarded or reshot when the script was rewritten (much of Arwen's stuff), so it cannot be reincorporated into the film anyway,

 

Those are the only versions I've seen, actually. I even bought the EE of ROTK and then returned it to the store unopened because I got laid off work and needed the money more. At some point I got tired of the LOTR trilogy and said, someday I'll revisit them in the Extended Editions.

I did cheat and rewatched parts of ROTK on cable, though.

 

I enjoyed the extended versions. A couple friends and I actually marathoned the EE this past summer, and it was easier than I thought it was.

 

Crazy people. The closest I ever managed was one EE a day over a long weekend. Even that was somewhat exhausting.

 

I did both EEs of FotR and TTT in between showings of RotK on the day it opened lol... went to the midnight show then watchd them in the afternoon before an evening show. I'll have to give all three a try sometime.
