there trying to kill us

 

[Triligors]

Yes!!!! Can't wait! I've bought the LOTR films, but my favorite Peter Jackson film and one of my personal favorites is DEFINITELY King Kong. So this is a must buy, no matter the price.

Does anyone know how it will be set up?

- How many disks
- How many commentaries
- etc.?

 

[Timstuff]

All I could make out from the spanish site was 3 discs. I'm guessing two discs for the movie plus some extras, and then a third disc with just extras. There's also the production diaries DVD set that came out a while back for people who want even more.

I agree that the theatrical version was a little too long, so I have a little dread about the extended version. But at the same time I don't really care, because maybe I should just think of it like a really big budget mini-series on HBO to justify the crazy runtime.

you have alot of coffee and time on your hands

 

[Triligors]

Yeah, the LOTR disks took me about a week to two weeks to watch all of the features. I'm pretty sure there will be more special features- because last time it was pretty minimal, since it was just production diaries and two features. I think I heard from Peter Jackson, some time a while ago that there was alot more behind the scenes footage that was shot... so, hopefully there will be great additional special features for the extended edition.

Yes, just what I need. 2 extra hours of pointless boatriding.

In all seriousness, if they'd consider cutting down the whole boatride deal for a shorter cut, I'd get that.

yeah true....

take out some of the meaningless crap and add some t-rex vs kong

 

[swifty]

I myself want to see all the cut dino scenes....every singe one, none left out.

 

[enterthemadness]

Is this talk of a 5 or 6 hour cut for real? If so, holy ****. I thought the movie was good, and I did like the boat trip to the island...but...5 or 6 hour cut?

 

[zer00]

I'll defenitly get it.

I got alot of time on my hands.

 

[Karea07]

how the **** could they make this **** longer?

 

[U.S War Machine]

By adding more hours to it to make a 10 hour movie.

I was exagerrating. I'm fine with the original King Kong which is 104 minutes.

 

[Galactical]

Yay MORE BOREDOM.

 

[Warhammer]

I am glad I waited.
I always wanted the extended cut.
King Kong theatrical didn't feel long to me. Alot of other movies seemed longer.

 

[Timstuff]

Only Peter Jackson can make a 4 hour remake of an hour and a half long movie.

 

[zer00]

Yay MORE BOREDOM.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

what a phenomenal ****ing film. I am committing thread necromancy just to say it. This has got to be one of my favorites.

 

[dude stannis]

ZOMG even longer?!?!?!

I actually liked King Kong heaps. I was happy with the TC length. But one day I'll check the EE.

 

[The Dark Defender]

In other news, it's 2013 now.

But yeah, the extended cut was an improvement over the theaterical and I never had a problem with the length.

The piranha attack on the extended cut is the best non-Kong action sequence.

[Ipodman]

I have yet to watch this movie

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Loved the TC but the EE was even better, amazing movie being made better, what more can you ask for?

I still cant believe there are people out there who dislike this movie, its one of favourite movies ever and it was a great take on a classic story if you ask me.

 

[Matt]

Oh lord, how the hell do you make it any longer?

 

[The Dark Defender]

By adding more action scenes that make an already awesome film even better.

Indeed. I love it more than 2 out of 3 LOTR movies.
