Sigh... why would they make 3 seasons of a book that one reads in a few
days? It will only be like the Hobbit a long and tedious wait between
actual scenes from the book. =(

I was mostly irate at the movie version of Lord of the Rings since one
of the scenes they filmed but left on the cutting room floor was the
death of Saruman (who a lot of people considered a rip-off of the
death of Mussolini) after the fall of the Dark Tower.

No question it was my favorite LoTR scene though the "Speak Friend and

You can see the scene in the Extended Edition, integrated in its proper

I do recommend the Extended Edition. And disrecommend *any* version
of the Hobbit trilogy.

 
I've never seen them -- I checked for years but I could not rent them
for streaming (or from RedBox on disc). They were a for-sale item
only.
 
I have long since lost my interest in seeing them.

The Extended Editions of LOTR can be "bought" (about $15 a pop)

The only other option appears to be a subscription to MAX (ie, HBO's
streaming service), which is often bundled with Hulu or Amazon. You
might check if you have those.

As I said, I have lost all interest in them.

They /almost/ sold me on the combined DVD (both theatrical and
extended), but, as far as I could tell (or maybe I even got this
confirmed by asking online), this was done so that /both/ versions
were now spread over two discs. Yet another triumph of marketing over
sanity.

I use the 'JustWatch' app to find what services carry what movies and
shows.

I just find what I can on the sources I have.
