Hence, Director's Cut. Mr. Scott knows what he does. [/qb][/QUOTE]I wish I shared your faith. In my opinion, most of the Director's Cuts just don't work and the theatrical cut of the film is often superior. For example, Francis Ford Coppola's recent director's cut of [i]Apocalypse Now[/i],[i]Apocalypse Now Redux[/i]. The scene with the Playboy bunnies was totally frivilous and did nothing to move the story along. The theft of Kilgore's surf board, and Kilgore's hunting of the boat to get it back, also started to make Kilgore look totally unrealistic. The only Director's Cut that I thought that was superior to the theatrical cut was for [i]Blade Runner[/i]. But director Scott revised the film so that it was shown as he originally intended. The voice over and the ending were additions that were demanded by the studio. I've viewed the deleted scenes several times on the "A L I E N: 20th Anniversary Edition" DVD, and I really don't think that they add much to the film. Reinserting the Dallas/Brett scene will also cause continuity problems for James Cameron's "Aliens". [/QB][/QUOTE]
