Just now? - I can say one thing, you sure aren't a hasty person!
No matter how good the movie, sitting down for close to 4 hours for something that is passive (as opposed to, say, an interactive PC game or surfing the Web) is tough for me - let alone the whole family! I didn't get the extended version until we got a DVD player in the Spring. We've watched most of the documentaries, and the entirely new scenes, but not the whole thing.
The great thing about LOTR is I feel like there's no rush, the movie will only improve with time as the acting is so supreme. My biggest disappointment is the fact that I only had the opportunity (mostly due to money) to see TTT ONCE in the theaters. So I'm VERY eager to see that again!
