Get the Directors cut if you can

[Liam92]

Thought it was pretty good, little overrated though

One thing I will say is though (like most Scorcese films), the soundtrack absolutely smacked it

Rosemary's Baby / Once Upon A Time In America

I really want to see the original 269 minutes version of OUATIA^

Watched about half an hour of The Poughkeepsie Tapes last night. Couldn't be fucked with another video camera film so turned it off.
The other video camera film I watched recently (and got through) was VHS - a group of assholes break into an asshole's house and watch some videos of assholes getting murdered before being murdered by some asshole.

Asshole-tion...
Incep-hole...

idk, something.
Ether way it was shit.
2/10 (and one of those points is for a bit of tit you see)

I think the longest available cut at present is around 246 minutes. Scorsese is meant to be restoring it in full with the help of Leone's children. There are some legal issues with a few of the scenes apparently.

Sad story. Leone was so heartbroken by the US theatrical cut that he never made another film. I can't stand studio meddling, leave it to the filmmakers. It's like exhibiting a painting but taking some of the colours or brush strokes out; either present the artist's vision or don't present it at all.

Yeah, didn't he die only a few years after the film came out?

Poor sod. I can half-way understand the studio's point of view though - did cinema goers in the early 80's have the patience/bladder for a 4.5hr movie? Do they now?

He died in '89.

Yeah, I can see why they did it but it's still a terrible thing to do. Titanic was pretty long, The Lord of The Rings films were 3 hours or so each. I think people would have watched it, the length would definitely have put some people off though.

[mIrReN]

most of the best movies are 2-3 hours imho

Watching Aishwarya Rai rubbing up against Colin Firth and taking on groups of beardy warriors in combat was about as good as this film got.

Tried watching this last night, got about 20 minutes in before I turned it off. I think I'll try it again when I'm in a more open mood.

Ended up watching:



Which, as ever, I thoroughly enjoyed!!

Has anyone seen Serpico? It's on film 4 tonight but I'm out. Is it worth recording?

edit* fucked up the images

[wub]

Serpico is awesome, one of Pacino's best IMO.

[PinUp]

Cheers, wub. I'll record it then!!

Was on tv last night



Say what you want, i always enjoy it..

[soulkids]

I tried watching 'natural born killers' aswell but turned it off after 20mins, incredibly stupid and unfunny

[Laszlo]

Holy fuck, how are people not understanding NBK??

Amazing film!

[PinUp]

I think I probably would enjoy it if I watched it all the way through. I just really wasn't in the mood for it last night!

[Laszlo]

Fair enough, it was more soulkids' comment.

[cloquet]

I like Natural Born Killers
