Saw The Two Towers (Director's Cut) last night on the Big Screen.

I had, uh, missed it when the thing came out, but as a four-day-only roadshow I figured I should catch it. Want my opinion? I had a much better time at The Last Samurai. I share the Boston Globe reviewer's opinion of the one that opens tomorrow:

"Clearly, the man strides through Tolkien's world with great joy. Yet what I felt when the lights came up at the end of this visionary, titanic, relentless experience was something different: a strange relief that it was, at last, over."

For myself it's already over, I don't think I could endure another three hours of static, unhuman moviemaking. Even the attempts at humor were unremittingly feeble. Who cares whether these creeps live or die? Not I.

Nor was I impressed with the CGI.
