Neo Rasa posted:I saw Cruella and it notably ends on the note of her NOT skinning some dalmations to make a coat though this is teased and hinted at throughout the movie. With her giving the two main dalmations to the friends she made a long the way, and her basically being good at the end. And she doesn't even hate dalmations or dogs in particular or anything like that, even having a pet dog throughout the flick. So it just felt like totally disconnected from the first movie, which is fine, but it's the way they try to have her be misunderstood/actually good but still bad and a villain at the same time never lands. Like others have said it just feels bloated and with too many cooks in the kitchen. Got to save something for the sequel, I guess. Like, come on. You really believe this wont have a sequel?

holy poo poo https://twitter.com/TygerbugGarrett/status/1399708153294458882 quote:Previously-unseen deleted scenes include the Mario Bros running afoul of the (probably Mafia-connected) Scapelli plumbing company, Koopa murdering a technician by de-evolving him into slime, and Iggy and Spike rapping about the overthrow of King Koopa at the Boom Boom Bar. There's more of Daniella and the Brookyln Girls. Most scenes are extended in this version, with a lot more of Dennis Hopper as Koopa, and the rest of the cast.

If studios would see clear profit behind releasing cuts of movies that haven’t seen the light of day I’d be so happy. I want to see the original cut of The 13th Warrior.

How did Garrett Gilchrest, castoff Red Letter Media man from 1999, end up with a director’s cut of Super Mario Bros?

I've always assumed that the red tape involved in working out residuals and contacts and all that nonsense keeps these things from being more ubiquitous. Surely otherwise they'd realize that there's some short-term profit to be had in dorks double-dipping on a blu. What I really mean is, there must be some sane explanation to why I am not able to see the 4 hour cut of Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. If it's just some suit's arbitrary decision then the universe is too cruel. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jun 2, 2021 |

Also, things are often cut for a reason, and a person might be exposed to an inferior version on their first viewing of a film. For all the attention the Snyder cut got, it appears to have not been very successful.

The extended version of the Super Mario Bros movie is wonderful and the lovely VHS quality of it just lends to the charm. It also took me multiple viewings over several decades to realize they're all driving electric cars in the Koopa dimension because dinosaurs never went extinct there and fossil fuels don't exist. The world building is so great in this movie I don't understand how anybody could hate it.

I haven’t seen numbers on the Snyder Cut or anything, but I’m sure it probably helped HBO Max subs a bit. If for no other reason than keeping people around for another month to see what the fuss was about. It wasn’t exactly good, but it was a hell of a lot more coherent than the theatrical version, and it actually made me curious as to where things would have gone. I hated the original release so much that I forgot most of the plot. All of this was at the cost of being super pretentious, but I’ll take it over what we got the first time around.

Director’s cuts have existed in an official form ever since DVDs made them commercially available. The Snyder Cut has permeated the zeitgeist to the point that directors cuts are now referred to by specific name. Whenever demand sparks to “release the ____ cut!” everyone has to internally acknowledge the Snyder cut for making their rallying cry possible. Sounds like a success to me.

I've watched a couple of bootleg assembly cuts and a lot of them have temp tracks, temp looping (both themselves a nightmare for rights for release), scenes obviously not edited for pacing or even final versions of scenes before alternate takes are picked over them OR reshoots, unfinished effects, and plenty of other weird stuff. They are fascinating, but I can understand why they don't want them out there, it's like reading the second draft of a novel someone spent 20 drafts on.

To quibble, fossil fuels are actually based almost entirely on plantlife which mostly predates the dinosaurs, but then it could also be how it's specifically stated that wasteful policies especially under King Koopa have depleted almost every resource they have, and fossil fuels were likely the first to go.

If you say “trust the fungus” before taking a large enough dose of shrooms you are guaranteed to have a good trip. Then of course it takes root in your brain and makes you say shrooms are good

I feel like directors cuts existed in the VHS era as that thing where horror movies got released with 50 different names with slightly different edits and you had to just know which was the "real one" (the one that showed the lady naked)

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Snyder Cut was an international hit. I've read multiple articles that implies it didn't really bring in new subscribers, and some third party analysis has determined that most people didn't actually finish the film (although without the actual data from HBO Max that is hard to tell, and that might be bullshit) Also yes, director cuts are a thing and can be successful, but most of the time, the post production has already been mostly finished for all scenes, and it has the people that made the film actively advocating for it. The new Super Mario Bros. cut is interesting, but I don't think its feasible as a commercial product, and probably wouldn't be worth the effort to fully polish it up.
