Some of his dialogue, though, is a drinking game with Gimli.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I have to wait until Christmas Eve for the EE, although that won't stop me from renting it.

But they didn't show any of that in the trailer -- I was talking about what he is saying in the PotD. That was him, wasn't it?

They did show bits of the drinking game, but no lines from it.

I meant -- that there wasn't dialogue heard, I did see the dreaded drinking game snippet.
OTOH: Houses of Healing!!! Crowned king! Merry offering service to Theoden!

This link was at TORN. It's a review of the EE and is said to be very spoilery. (I haven't read it - I'm of two minds as to how spoiled I want to be for it, you know?)

The English translation of the TORN article is a bit dodgy, making for rough reading.
The author's contention is that a longer movie is not a better movie...which I can't dispute. It's true that in most cases deleted scenes are blessings and I love the directors who have the courage to say, "That was cut because, well...it was crap."
But the author counters his own argument by describing the new EE scenes in a way that makes me want to see them even more!
And this is PJ we are talking about, working on a magical project. I can't imagine anything in the hundreds of hours of exposed film they ran through being truly awful.
I didn't think my anticipation could BE higher. I was wrong.

After reading the article, I too am more excited to see the extended version. With this project, it's not all about getting to the action faster. By adding in or extending scenes it may slow it down a bit, but, to me, it will be a more complete version and true to the original vision.
