That's the problem, I'm not happy with the short versions. The short versions (in the last two LOTR movies anyway) were a mess and I believe it is directly attributable to the fact that Jackson knew that the theatrical versions didn't have to be all that good and just hint to the long version.
Like I said, I have no problem with long movies. Most of the best movies of all time are pretty long. Take as much time as it takes to make a good movie. But don't make a bad movie saying "oh, we'll make it all better on DVD." Or if you do, be honest about it so that I won't waste any time or money on the theatrical version.
