An Even Longer Kong

I loved Peter Jackson's King Kong, but it might as well have carried the official title King Kong: Holy Crap, Did You Hear That It's Three Hours Long?!? For something like Lord of the Rings, yeah, the lengthy running time felt appropriate. For a giant ape movie, not so much. The overwhelming consensus was that the theatrical version of King Kong could've used a trim, so I find it amusing that they're about to release an extended edition on DVD that runs half an hour LONGER!

I've already bought the first 2-disc release, along with the Production Diaries collection, and of course the special edition of the original movie. I think my King Kong needs have been served, thank you very much.
