On the other hand I can't get out of my head that this movie is going to be 20 minutes longer than TDK. Oof.
I confess every time I see "TDKR" I first read it as "TL;DR".

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ahahahahahaha!! I'm telling DH to steal this for his review headline. Unless he loves it, I guess.

Jess, ITA. I felt that TDK was 45 minutes too long. I hope that's not the case with TDKR.

That's awesome. I kind of hope it ends up in his review.

So far, Rotten Tomatoes like it. [link]
I'd be planning to go even if they were giving it a 9% fresh, but still, it's nice to see.

Two hours, 45 minutes? Does it have an intermission?
The Godfather was that long—it had an intermission.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Return of the King was 201 minutes (to TDKR's 164 listed in IMDB) and it didn't.

Liv Tyler wasn’t supposed to be an intermission?

That's because you went and took a bathroom break during her scene.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right. Gandhi had a fucking intermission.
I'm going to have to fast 3 hours before this movie so I can get through it without a bathroom break.
