DVD w/deleted footage

<< < (4/8) > >>

The three Lord of the Rings movies were released with extra scenes put back in, so it's been done, and recently. For a lot of fans, the extended editions have become the definitive versions. (Not for me, though... I prefer the theatrical releases of all but The Two Towers, and I only prefer the extended version because I don't think the theatrical release was that good.) One of the downsides, to me, of having the super deluxe edition be different from the theatrical release is that all the commentaries for the LotR movies are on the extended edition. I would rather hear commentaries on the theatrical release, I think -- the LotR commentaries often discussed the missing material more than the choices made in putting together the initially released movie.

But, you know, I'll buy it regardless of what's on it. ;D

Another movie that I thought did not benefit from being extended, Apocalypse Now... the Redux version  drives me out of my mind, and unfortunately that's the one I own.  Another one, Donnie Darko...

I don't know, I see what everyone is saying, but for me, the movie is as it should be and the deleted scenes, no matter how good, were taken out for a reason.  I want to see them because I'm curious, but I don't want the movie re-edited...

You know, calling them "deleted scenes" implies that they were part of the movie, and then were cut out, for time constraints or for other reasons. But the script itself appears to have changed during filming -- even some scenes that aren't replaced by something else might not fit the development of the characters and the relationship as it ended up in the final edition. (The March 04 script I've seen has stuff that could be that scene David posted -- there's more banter about the beans that Ennis brought, including a comment from Jack about being willing to eat them out of Ennis's hand. ;D ;D And while I would love to see that innuendo (heck, I would love to see... no, I won't say it ;D ), and would love to see the line from the deleted hippy scene where Jack says "Ennis is pretty well hung-up," I don't think they would fit smoothly into the theatrical release of the movie.)

A scene of Ennis on the "grieving plain," though, would be lovely, I agree, Jeff.

 :) when I received my copy of Sense and Sensibility which as you all know was directed by Ang Lee, there were a couple of deleted scenes in the features section - neither of those scenes would have added to the overall goodness of the film and I am so glad that they were deleted from the screen version :D

in my often humble opinion, I think that the scenes from most films that are deleted, weren't worthy of being in a finished film - that said, I am hoping that any deleted scenes from BBM are kept separate for viewing later if one wishes - in other words, the movie is perfect as is, no tampering necessary - sure I want to see them, but in a features section only................
