    The December Project: #95

    I watched the extended edition which is about 20 minutes longer. Extended edition has the 4 stories separated by credits after each segment, plus 7 minutes of extra footage. This makes it look more like a comic book or a graphic novel. My preference of teh stories is chronological.

I had read and heard that it took some time to get used to it, but for me it was instantaneous. And I loved it. Never before have I seen a better 3D. Better movies in 3D I have seen. Several times during the first hour I felt sleepy and…
