I've also heard commentary that the second movie should have been condensed into about 15 minutes, and this movie should have been cut into two--which admittedly would have developed the plot a great deal better (and filled in the speculation holes mentioned above; the reason I call them holes is that there's such room for debate in what might fill them).

I think it's interesting that the two folks who have liked my new scene have both been women--which makes me wonder if perhaps we're more sensitive to a goddess being slighted. ;)
