It's been two weeks since my posts saying they were coming, and I'm actually still going through the ten movies and their discs gatheirng notes about them (runtimes, who's in what features, which features can be edited together, which can be dropped, etc.), along with my general internet searchings and research. So far I've completely finished writing my longform specs for the first two films, but have stalled on the third. I'm doing the same for a Harry Potter set, so I won't actually be posting the complete finalized ones for either for quite some time.
In the meantime...
