He believes that everything comes from one unified place, even if to many people it appears like he's just pulling the rug from under everyone for the sake of loving with them. While that aspect might be intended as well, I just can't see his work as "trolling". I feel like David Lynch makes 'dreams about movies' rather than 'movies'. If you've ever had a dream about a movie you've seen that's kind of what I mean. And trying to remember exactly what happened in a David Lynch movie is like trying to remember what happened in a weird dream you had. I don't think his films are always entertaining, but that's the vibe I get from his stuff.

If I were forced to choose a movie I thought would be liked by the highest percentage of people in the US, it would definitely be on my short list.

Going to get around to watching Blade Runner soon. The version in my Netflix queue says it has both theatrical and director's cuts - which one is recommended?

Director's cut.

There also seems to be a 'Final Cut'... what's the consensus about that one?

Uh more or less the best version, but it's not a big deal if you watch director's cut instead (I prefer DC because there's some cool subtext lost in final cut). Blade Runner is the rare instance of a movie that gets better the more the director monkeyed with it.

The theatrical cut was the original release, with a voiceover narration and a happy ending. The director's cut was made later on after Scott regained some creative control, and removes both those elements- the narration is gone, and the ending is now more ambiguous. The final cut is the director's cut remastered and with some effects and continuity errors cleaned up.

If you don't know that Phillip K Dick was Gnostic and understand what that implies about his interpretation of the book of Genesis, then you don't understand Blade Runner. Alright, bye.

big business sloth posted:Does anyone know which version of 'Baby Face' netflix has on instant, the theatrical or 'director's cut?' Um, neither? I just looked and it doesn't show up as streaming. The dvd version they have should have both cuts, but if it doesn't it lists the runtime as 76 minutes, which is the restored version. edit: Just realized you might be in Canada, which I think has a few different movies streaming than in the US, if that's the case the restored version is 76 minutes and the cut version is 71.

I have a quote of a disfigured man saying "frrriiiieeend" in my head. I am not sure where it's from! I was thinking it was either The Elephant Man or Sloth from the Goonies, but I have been unable to track down a fitting quote from either of those movies. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I apologize if this was asked before, but Donnie Darko, normal vs Director's Cut. Got both in the netflix queue, One ought to go, which is the better version? FWIW, I have seen the original version when it first came out, getting it for the wife.

Most people seem to prefer the original, which is more ambiguous and leaves a lot more of the events up to the viewer's interpretation. The director's cut makes the film more explicitly clear, reinforcing the idea that the film is essentially a sci-fi time-travel movie with very clear rules. Does that make any sense?

I loved Donnie Darko in the original version, and I hated the director's cut. Was anyone aware that there was a sequel (not written or directed by the guy from Donnie Darko)?

The director's cut of Donnie Darko blows. It's basically the normal version with cue cards which spell everything out that rob the movie of any ambiguity and fun.

It basically can be summed up as "What if a Darko Fan made a sequel" without understanding anything about what worked in the first film and blatantly copies camera styling and drops random references of the past film with no real reason into a plot that isn't much more than "Small Utah townsfolk go crazy."

Can someone explain to me the part in New York, I Love You, where Shia LaBeouf's character kills himself by jumping out a window and the older gentleman takes over his role? Is the lady remembering a younger man who loved her? I don't quite get it.

Is the Denny character in The Room supposed to be retarded? He doesn't grasp social norms and seems to be under the care of Johnny and Lisa despite appearing to be in his early 20's.

I just watched The Aviator, and while I found it to be enjoyable I'm not sure what the point was. I learned a lot about a few decades in Howard Hughes' life, but there wasn't really a strong central plot and it just kind of ended at a very arbitrary point. Was Scorcese just trying to convey some biographical information or is there some underlying meaning/message that I didn't get?

I think it just has more to do with Tommy Wiseau's complete lack of understanding of basic human interaction. Like how his idea of a bunch of guys hanging out is to stand around a few feet from each other and awkwardly throw footballs at each other.
