Good question. The most recent one I think is what one dude called Hammerhead on the CHUD board named "WB sanctioned director's cut" a.k.a. "Remastered Director's Cut" that's a few minutes shorter (5, I think) than "Directors Cut" that can also be obtained in HD. Then there-s also the Intl. cut that's even longer (117 mins) than the latter one... Other than that I wouldn't know. I think others than the original thatre release differ only by opening title and end credits art I'd go with the original "Director's Cut" in HD if you don't mind to wait for it to DL:

EDIT: Just found this info on Wiki:

Seven versions of the film exist, but only the Director's Cut and International Cut are widely known and seen:

- The original 1982 International Cut (also known as Criterion Edition), which included more graphic violence than the U.S. theatrical release, and which was released on VHS and on Criterion Collection Laserdisc.
- The U.S. theatrical version (also known as Original Version), also called the domestic cut.
- Two workprint versions, shown only as audience test previews and occasionally at film festivals; one of these was distributed in 1991, as a Director's Cut without Scott's approval.
- The Ridley Scott-approved 1992 Director's Cut; prompted by the unauthorized 1991 release, it is to date the only version officially released on DVD.
- The broadcast version, edited for profanity and nudity.
- Warner Home Video has scheduled both theatrical and DVD releases of Ridley Scott's final cut of the film for 2007.

I suggested the one "edited for profanity and nudity" LOL That won't do, will it?

[dinky]

uh...I only know of two. I only remember seeing one. and the word on the two versions is comparable to that of Alien 3. I've never even seen an original theatrical dvd. s'always director's cut.

edit: yikes! ladies and gentlemen, we have a true fan.

@Dinky: Woooot? LOL

Watched latest two eps of "Lost"... previous ep was good, and the last one boring and bad in a bad way - as usually is

[maxpayne2409]

ah right, well as the HD file is an mkv filer i will naturally be avoiding that like the plague as i HATE mkv shit, hmm i see on play the directors cut is down to £4.99, but i see there is also a "final cut" coming out

This is Blade Runner: The Final Cut, Ridley Scott's definitive new version of his science-fiction masterpiece. This multi-disc Special Edition release will also contain three alternate versions of Blade Runner: the Original U.S. Theatrical Cut (never before available in the UK); the Expanded International Theatrical Cut; and the 1992 Director's Cut.

Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st-century Los Angeles. He's a "blade runner" stalking geneticaly made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human.

*To be confirmed: three alternative versions of Blade Runner!

yeah i watched latest lost and also thought it was pretty boring, and by pretty i mean very, and by boring i mean i wish i was deaf and blind so as to have not seen it

[MyK]

This doesn't solve your problem,.. you'll still have to decide which one to watch first ROFLMAO

OK, now you give me a hand with deciding what to watch now. There's plenty of garbage on my drive: "Babel", "Brigades Du Tigre, Les", "Canadian Bacon", "Casa De Areia", "Casino Royale", "Dernier Combat, Le", "Dirty Pretty Things", "Door In The Floor, The", "Good Year, A", "Half Nelson", "Hollywoodland", "In My Father's Den", "Kurtlar Vadisi - Irak", "Little Big Man", "Little Fish", "Marie Antoinette", "Pierrot Le Fou", "Plata Quemada", "Proof", "Proposition, The", "Quiet Earth, The", "Salaire De La Peur, Le", "Science Des Reves, La", "Seven Times Lucky", "Stranger Than Fiction", "Summer Of Sam", "Sweet Land", "Va Savoir", "Weisse Massai, Die", "Young Frankenstein", "Zelig" ??? I think I'll go with "The Last Combat" as it's silent movie and I know it's good and would like to see it again. Then again, I never saw "The Quiet Earth" so I'm curious. C'mon Max, Dinky,... anyone... one of you decides I'll tell you tomorrow what I thought of your selection

[maxpayne2409]

the quiet earth wins that hands down, good film, most of those others i haven't even heard of, canadian bacon is absolute shit (worst john candy film), casino royale isn't all it's cracked up to be

[dinky]

I've always been interested in dirty pretty things</i> but I fuxxored the dvd p-ups, so it cycles through frames in every language.

hollywoodland</i> looks interesting.

been meaning to see the proposition</i>. also stranger than fiction</i>.

ignore max. casino royale</i> is the best bond film I can remember ever having seen. and it's the only one in the past 20 years worthy of being called a film. but it's far from flawless.

and young frankenstein</i> is tops on the list.

of course, a REAL MAN would see'em all and let the pixels sort'em out.

[maxpayne2409]

but it's far from flawless

so essentially.... not all its cracked up to be

[dinky]

but it's far from flawless

so essentially.... not all its cracked up to be

all it's cracked up to be is a much needed and effective reboot of the bond franchise. dunno anyone calling it best film of the year or any such thing.

[maxpayne2409]

lol in the uk they've been going mental over it like its god or something, personally im not a bond fan...... at all, but the quiet earth is a good film, although in all honesty there aren't any films in the list he gave us that i would specifically think "oh i'm gonna watch that tonight" to me tehy were more of a "i wanna watch a film, what's easy to access"

[dinky]

maybe ecstatic over having a genuine brit in the lead again? iunno. not actually a fan of bond myself. liked the movie well enough though.

[maxpayne2409]

possibly that's why

[MyK]

Only saw Max's first reply yesterday so I went with "The Quiet Earth", although I fell asleep in the first half of it not because it was boring or anything it's just I was really tired 'coz of all the work I did last week and also I haven't slept much at all... Thanks for helping me make my mind, anyway! I'll finish it today if possible

of course, a REAL MAN would see'em all and let the pixels sort'em out.

I see I managed to start a nice Bond debate I personally prefer ALL Brit movies over the ones made primarily for US audience, except for a handful of true gems It's kinda hard for me to explain why so, but I'd go so far to say most Brit movies (or even Hollywood ones made by Brit crew) tend to be way more life-like while the latter ones are mostly shallow and cold-hearted in essence, although mostly better production-vise. Like I said, it's hard for me to explain why so I dunno if I managed to make a point with my explanation

[dinky]

I get a similar feeling about PotC. I loved the first one. it's not like it can't be done. but the sequel epitomized everything that's bad about the bond franchise and the michael roland devlin scott ratner school of movie making: bigger, louder, uncut. PotC2 was almost nonstop action, and I really couldn't have cared less about it. I was actually bored with all the action. bond movies have long been like that. edgeless, prequel-like plots and pg-13 action. and they are all 30 minutes longer than they should have been (or at least there's 30 minutes of film wasted on pointless shit when they could be showing something else - anakin repeating the same scene with padme 5 times vs. anakin's battles with other jedi in the temple ffs!).

[maxpayne2409]

watched an some eps of 8 out of 10 cats, 1x01 and 1x02, i downlaoded a compelte series 1-4 torrent of them, funny

[spudthedestroyer]

ive got an urge to watch Blade Runner, but i can't remember which is the best most complete version to watch, can anyone help?

latest dvd release = best watch imo

bigger, louder, uncut.

But then, if its south park the bigger, longer and uncut version is the best

I'd also argue the same for Dawn of the Dead, the longer cuts add more and adds to the whole claustrophbia and trapped feeling that the characters are in It

[dinky]

yeah. the louder was intentional cuz...it fits perfectly with the style of those movies. but yeah, longer isn't necessarily worse. it's just that so many directors are incapable of editing their own shit (or the studios who do it for them are incompetent).

wouldn't it have been so cool to see the 501st legion & vader square-off with a buncha jedi knights at the temple? instead, you get this "why would imperial clones want to slaughter padwans" feel. meanwhile, anakin & padme have the same damn conversation 5 times over the span of two movies. (and it doesn't help the the scene is always crap from the script on up)

[MyK]

Finished "The Quiet Earth" and I enjoyed it It has that minimalistic straight to the point feel throughout and that makes it sorta funny as not much is happening anyways. Reminds me of some Ben Bova's books I've read that have similar touch to them and are also far from boring nevertheless. Actually, it reminded me so much of Bova's work I had to check that on Wiki. Now I wish I've read some Craig Harrison's books, too... never mind, summer's on the way and that's the time I read the most as it's usually too hot to do much else, really
