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.

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.

"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.

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