Oh my...

I shiver thinking about it.

In The Two Towers the battle of Helm's Deep will be forty-five minutes, no interruptions at all.




Forty-five minutes. Straight. No cut to scenes to lessen the tension.

The thirty second clips I see of it in the trailer make me giddy. Ha ha ha ha....

Wow.

I think the 3-pronged Battle of Endor lasts about that long in Return of the Jedi. But it's got three different facets going on at the same time. And parts of the Luke vs. Vader & Palpatine aren't combat...

That'll be cool. I'm looking forward to Two Towers. And Return of the King.

Yeah. This will all be one battle. No cutting to something else. No "Meanwhile in the peaceful town of...." No.

I think I might have a heart attack.

Enh. Black Hawk Down has that easily beat.

Does it? There are lots of interuptions in that. Cutting to other people, cutting to what's his name making coffee and meanwhile, back at the base and all of that. There are definately points where they let you off of the tension hook.

Still, Black Hawk Down did keep up that intense action, fighting, war death thing really well. It's just I'm looking forward to this a lot more than I ever did Black Hawk Down.

Grimes was in the fight. He wasn't in the office making coffee because he was too busy shooting that 50 calibur with his grenade launcher.

Well, yeah, but it wasn't action all the way through. There was him making coffee in the middle of it and a few other scenes that let you stop and catch your breath. I'm sure there are chunks that are superh long, but there are moments in between that aren't fighting and action.

So the movie's going to be five, six hours long?

Probably not. About like the last one, I'd guess.
