Harry Potter- round 6-who's ready?

Some of my favorite films are are pretty darned long. But, size doesn't matter as much as good storytelling.

MP, have you seen the director's cut of Lynch's Dune? Is it any better than the horrible theatrical release?
(However, it DID give me "Worms. Spice. Is there a connection?" to add to my favorite movie quotes.)

I don't think there is a director's cut. There is an extended cut, which is awful, and which Lynch had nothing ot do with. He sued to have his name removed from it, in fact. It played on cable years ago, and was padded with concept art and narration. There has been occasional scuttlebutt about Universal pursuing Lynch to go ahead and create a Director's Cut, but he isn't interested.

Which is a point I've been trying to make for ages.
