So a friend of mine bought the extended edition, and is trying to convince me that it's a good movie. Apparently, I just have to watch it again and I'll totally see. He offered free beer, and I don't have classes tomorrow, so I figured 'what the hell, why not?'.
We're roughly 80 minutes in. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... I'd rather be watching 2001. Seriously, I would, beyond any doubt, rather watch all of 2001 straight through than finish this movie.
