same here !

this movie have a special place for me ,it's the very first movie i saw "alone" (without parents) in theaters.

i was with a good friend and despite the fact we didnt understood the story (i was 11) we were fascinated with the images.

also 2 month later i lost my dad ,it took me a long time before i went to theater again and my life change completly....

i never saw the extended version despite i own the dvd and havent read the book yet, yeah i know,i know i really should do something about this : )

so thanks in advance
