43 extra minutes on extd. TTT

I was surprised too, when I saw them in the book (go down to your local bookstore and check it out for yourself--it's the Two Towers "companion" or whatever, and in the map of the battle of Helm's deep, the Huorn forest is there) was that they had just been cut out of this film, and would appear in the extended edition, and at the beginning of RotK. Just as TT has some scenes to remind us of FotR (that great, zoom-into-the-mountain shot!), in RotK, I thought we'd actually see how the battle finishes. In TT we just see them charge down the hillside and such, and suddenly they are riding up victorious over the crest of a hill. So, in order to end the film with less mess, I figure they skipped the huorn bit that ends the battle. And now that I've seen it somewhere else, too, I'm more convinced they will be in the films somewhere. We'll see, though...
