The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

But, he actually did that. I have video.

Yeah, you're wrong.

Different edits are made to films for many reasons, not all of them artistic or story-related.

Also, the case could be made that Extended Cuts could validate some of the choices made for the Theatrical Cut. They don't necessarily mean they're better. I'm definitely not one who goes for the "more is better" stuff. In fact, I still very much prefer the Theatrical version of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, as one example.

And this is just on the subject of Extended Cuts. What's the excuse for not including Deleted Scenes or doing audio commentary?

Yeah, I was definately referring to extended ("director's cut") cuts.

Deleted scenes is just a way for a director to show what didn't work and why.

Director's cut of every Nolan movie would be Nolan's Theatrical cuts.

Extended cut is where things can get silly, Director doesn't agree to it, it's done just for profit.

Unless a director agrees to an Extended cut which would then be his Director's cut.



I prefer the EE of LOTR over the Theatrical cuts, I feel like it strengthens the work as a whole.

So yeah, sorry PJ, your Theatrical cuts were flawed.

 

[IrishJedi]

It's not always a money thing. Sometimes filmmakers do Extended Cuts on Blu-ray/DVD simply because they want to show fans the longer edits of a film before cuts had to be made for pacing, run-time, etc in consideration for theatrical release. Often these versions of the film can be quite different... even a few scenes here or there can change the overall experience. And that in and of itself can be interesting.

 

[jye4ever]

Every porn movie should be extended cuts.

 

[jye4ever]

How many edits of the Evil Dead flicks are there? Some serious flawed movies. (and none of them help the turdfest Army of Darkness)

That would be so awesome.

why? we all know you are done with them after 5 minutes

 

[jye4ever]

2 minutes.

 

[Platty]

20 seconds

 

[jye4ever]

Do we have 15 seconds.

Going once, going twice.

 

[Adolfo]

The inner gold toothed Hulk in all of us has to happen once in a while or in some cases alot

 

[crows]

at 15 seconds whats the point of watching?

(that's actually a good business idea, make 15 second porn)

Need a runtime of that new doc. Plus I hate hate hate it when that ****head Lindelof gets his annoying quasi-90210 accent into everything. I don't care for his opinion. But it will be cool to see Mann speak about TDK, given the film is a Nolanized version of Heat.

 

[intothevoid]

Don't you diehard TDK fans want to see every IMAX scene in all its uncropped glory? Wouldn't that be Nolan's *true* vision of the film, not its bastardized Liemax incarnation? Even with the shifting aspect ratios on the blu-ray you still don't see Joker's feet at the beginning of the bank heist. What's the deal Nolan?

IMAX:

Liemax/blu-ray:

35 mmm:

We'll get it someday.

Maybe with the inevitable 4K transfers of the films in 5 yrs time

I think Nolan has mentally moved on from the Batman thing. That and he's never been big on Extended Cuts, Deleted Scenes, Commentary, etc. It just wasn't going to happen.

Sadly, even the initial standard MAN OF STEEL Blu-Ray will blow this away features wise. Considering that this is an "Ultimate Edition" release of a completed trilogy that is beloved and made gazillions... this is a damn shame. But it's on Nolan. He just pimp-slapped his diehard Batfans right in the face, did a mic drop, and walked off the stage.

Nolan has a vision which I can respect.

What I would like to see though is a commentary someday. I think the deleted scenes will also come out eventually but probably not anytime soon.

Yeah I'm looking fwd to Mann's comments

 

[batfan08]

This is one case where I disagree with you, Voidcat. Nolan's vision is a copout. He goes into all of this in-depth behind the scenes stuff, but he won't show the footage because it ruins the illusion. Whatever, looks like I've got to go to plan B and make it big in Hollywood. To paraphrase Scarface, "first, you get the money. Then, you get the power. Then, you get the deleted scenes."

Army of Darkness was awesome.

You had me at Boidcat

I'm too lazy to look it up. To what extent will Michael Mann be commenting? That sounds pretty cool. I've always thought it'd be a cool idea actually to have a well known movie maker do a commentary on another film that he had nothing to do with. A Ridley Scott commentary on Aliens for example would be cool

Or everything to do with

Perspective is a funny thing

Didn't one of the Matrix sequels have an Ebert/Roeper commentary where they just ripped on it the whole time?
