Another Deleted scene?

So while I want to see every little piece of footage that was shot, I don't want to see it within the movie.

Amen to every word you said :)!
I also want to see everything - but not inserted into the movie. Don't change the movie the slightest bit.

Couldn't agree more. I've said it before and I stand by this: The only thing I absolutely don't want to see is an "extended version" with the deleted scenes worked into the current film's narrative.
There's no improving on perfection.
While the risk of marring the beauty and clarity of the film's theatrical version through any changes or additions must be considered all the greater.
I fear that Focus Features are using that exact kind of reasoning for not even releasing a DVD with deleted scenes as separate bonus material, though......

Welcome new people. Want a cup of coffee don't you? A piece of cherry cake?

Those pix of Ennis at the family plot do look sort of familiar, but they certainly do add to the mystery of the deleted scenes/ confusing promo material.
Just watch the official preview for the movie and count how many things are shown in the preview that never made it into the film. Plus the famous alternative Ennis-in-Jack's-closet scene being shown at the Independent Spirit Awards is another amazing example of extra footage (of one kind or another) floating around out there.
Maybe we should call the long-dreamed-of special edition the Cutting Room Floor version rather than the Director's Cut. Or, the phrase "Director's Cut" could be interpreted in a different way... we could take it to mean "scenes that the director decided to cut out" rather than the more conventional meaning (which I guess is usually something like 'the director's prefered cut').
;D

This might be a minority opinion, but I'd definitely want to see that scene added, in addition to the cemetery scene. Probably the latter isn't very long.

Yeah, "director's cut" seems to be a bit of a misnomer, as a film belongs to the producer in the end, not the director. Unless they're one and the same, of course.
Wreeah:
There was an alternative 'Closet' scene???? :o
Geez, I'm learning something new about this film all the time.
This is probably old news to most of you here, but I had never heard about this.
Man.... do I ever feel behind the times here...
