I like my movies to be concise. The LOTR were the anti-concise.

I dunno, man some of the best movies of all time are that long -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 09:58 7

  - As someone else mentioned, it may be an issue with ROTK (but when you sweep the Oscars, who in the frig is counting?) -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 10:04
- movie length is not an issue for me, UNLESS it is not using the time wisely. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:59 4

    - I give him a pass on that. -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 10:07

  - NO. You should have shaved 30 minutes out of the ROTK, easily, the first 2, were perfect. - groiny Dec 17, 09:50 1
    - The extended edition Blu-rays are glorious. Even the packaging is epic. -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:51
