@TZ - It's funny that you mentioned that...while I was watching it, I was thinking back on the day my dad and I saw it in the theater too. I remember that the theater was completely packed and we had to sit in the very last row. It was absolutely stunning on blu!
@Venom - I've been meaning to watch the ext. version ever since it was released years ago...glad I finally saw it. I really loved the added scenes.
I'm so stoked for you. I still remember the day I went to an early weekend showing of this in theaters with my Dad. The latst remastered blu-ray (there was a whole debacle with the original HD release) is magnificent. Enjoy it dude!
