Jess, ITA. I felt that TDK was 45 minutes too long. I hope that's not the case with TDKR.
I confess every time I see "TDKR" I first read it as "TL;DR".
That's awesome. I kind of hope it ends up in his review.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

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.

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.

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.
