Campus MovieFest

  • February 6, 2006
Here I was, thinking all these people had joined together to celebrate the 2nd birthday of the Hydrous photoblog, and they start playing movies. Oh well, I can still celebrate, myself. Two years ago, I converted a crappy text blog into something that I still like, and it keeps me busy.

We watched Donnie Darko again this evening, and it was incredibly worthwhile. So much meaning in a short time span; I love films with a purpose, with an abstract idea to grasp, though not so abstract as, say, 2001.

This post had too many commas.

Yeah, I mean ... I felt like the overall point of the movie was more distinct and accessible. 2001 was so vague in terms of what the point was.

Ethan failed to mention that he watched the Director's Cut which is supposed to be more accessible.

i never understood "director's cut." i would think the original movie would be the director's cut. otherwise, someone's not doing their job

I guess the upper management people force compromises on content based on sales, but when the DVD comes out, the director can put those things back in because DVD consumers aren't as picky? I've heard commentary tracks on modern DVDs where directors mention that they're now more willing to make concessions during theater runs of films as long as they are guaranteed to be able to revert those concessions (and run the film as they prefer) for the DVD.

The editor the producer hires has the final say as far as the original release. Director's cuts always include more, because directors usually want more in the films they make (i.e. Lucas).
