[MooglePorn]

Blah. I wish the early seasons of Macgyver or Magnum P.I. were on sale so cheap, I might pick them up.

[drudo-182]

Brokeback Mountain!

Heck yeah.

[PrometheusUFO]

The Chronicles of Narnia 2-disc (most likely from Target), TMNT Vol 4 (technically not a set since its 12 episodes on 1 disc), and maybe a double-dip for the Crash 2-disc. Thanks for the prices.

[Crockett's Vice]

No new releases for me this week. I would like to pick up the TMNT dvd, but I still need the second and third releases.

[dugpa]

I might pick up the single disc Chronicles Of Narnia to hold me over till the Blu-ray release. Other than that, it's a slow week.

[plissken99]

Any idea how much extra footage the Crash director's cut will have? Bunch of different sites have it mixed up. Doesn't really matter since I don't have the original version.

Found this info that is said to be printed on the insert for the 2 Disc Director's Cut


It is difficult to call this a director's cut, as I cut the first version that was released in theaters, and was happy with the result. Well, happy? Frankly I would be recutting the film between the 7 and 9 p.m. showings at any cineplex if given the chance.

But at a certain point you have to lock the picture, and that time came quickly for us - being an independent film, we had to get the print to the Toronto Film Festival in order to sell it to a distributor. We did, and Lionsgate bought it and we were thrilled. I was thrilled. Until I watched it one more time, and realized that in all the rush perhaps I'd cut it just a tad too tight.

But locked is locked, and being a small budget movie we didn't have the money to open it up again and let me toy with it. Until this DVD release, and I want to thank Tom Ortenberg and Lionsgate for the opportunity.

You won't see earth-shattering changes; we didn't leave a lot on the editing room floor. In order to shoot this film in 35 days, we cut the script to the bone before we rolled camera, removing about a dozen pages from an already lean script. I think all those script cuts actually helped.

What you will see restored here are more "moments" than scenes; chunks of dialog here and there.

For example, I expanded the "under the bed" scene with Daniel and his daughter (Michael Pena and the amazing Ashlyn Sanchez) to its original length, did the same for the conference room scene with Don Cheadle (Graham), William Fichtner (Flanaga) and Nona Gaye (Karen), gave my Korean couple (Alexis Rhee and Greg Joung Paik) their dialog back in the hospital, reinserted a small scene with Ryan Phillippe's character, Officer Tommy Hanson, that I thought illuminated his building frustration with doing the right thing, and added some dialog to his final scene in the car with Larenz Tate's character, Peter. Lots of little moments like that. And I let the movie "breathe" in some spots - well, a little; as I mentioned, we didn't have the money to shoot anything other than essential scenes. And I believe there is a lot to be said for shooting under such constraints. There was urgency to the pace of the production that crept onto the screen.

Anyway, now I'm happy with it. But if you see a guy at your local video store, pulling DVDs off the shelf and trying to explain to the manager that he will have them back the next day with just a few changes, you'll have a pretty good idea who it is.

I hope you enjoy it.

My best,
Paul Haggis
