Went through all three extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy a few days before New Year last week. All in the course of one day. With each installment getting at least thirty minutes of additional footage, it took me from eight in the morning until before seven in the evening to finish all three, almost as long as the six-film/two-miniseries Star Wars marathon i did around six years ago.
Then rewatched Lord of War last night. Kinda reminds me of Xenogears, in that it changes it's pacing after the first half. While you get straight-out dark comedy in the first half as Yuri learns the ropes of the business, the second half shifts to slower-paced drama as he struggles to deal with the effect that his gunrunning has on his family, his colleagues and the world at large.
Will try to get around to finally watching the Hellboy sequel later today.
