dvd deleted scenes

[rp20302000]

Hey, just wondering what everyone thought about the deleted scenes?
   I think at least half were integral to the movie and helping 
illuminate the plot for people who havent read the book and for 
character development.
   Even if they added an additional 15 minutes to a (by some's 
standards) long movie it would have been worth it b/c they added so 
much.
   I saw SS/PS before I had read the book (didn't know what I was 
missing, let me tell you) and it took a second viewing just to get 
the plot down straight.
   Thanks,

    RP
