LD Talkback #211

Apparently there's some sort of movie coming out this weekend I hear...

[Spark Of Spirit]

This should have won best picture of that year.

But anyway, man this was something else the first time I saw it on the screen. I'm still stunned at how well this came out.

EDIT: I should also say that I think I saw this film more than any other film in theater. It was just that good. I did the same with the sequels, but this one was such a surprise that I probably watched it the most.

Last night I watched the Blu-Ray version of the extended edition, worrying that it would be really slow... And not only did this movie have fewer pacing issues than I remembered, but the extended version didn't make it any slower. Actually, I almost wonder if it had even better pacing than the original version.

Gonna do the same with Two Towers and Return of the King within the next few days.
