I saw Twisters and I thought it was pretty ok. I had nothing bad to say about it. But this added a whole new layer of understanding that made me appreciate it a lot more.

Should have asked Helen Hunt to be in the sequel as a cameo

Absolutely Genius, Love the Wizard of Oz and War of Worlds Reference. I can even see the Jurassic Park reference when the car is backing up reversing with the tornado after it.

I hadnt watched any of the interviews with Lee, but wow what a smart and passionate guy. He injected so much heart into what could’ve been a boring, bad movie. Loved Twisters and cannot wait to see what he does next.
