Wait. There aren't *two* directors named Oliver Stone, are there?
Hm. So Oliver Stone gave a talk at Berkeley last week, and according to a couple of different reports from people who attended, he's intending to completely re-edit the movie, mixing up the timeline and significantly shortening the movie by removing some elements he felt were less than successful. Including, of course, some elements for which I have a personal fondness.
We'll have to wait and see how much of that actually pans out, but color me vaguely disgruntled in the meantime. At least it explains the ridiculous delay in announcing a release date.

We can only hope that the European DVD version will have the theatrical cut and we can get our hands on it through Amazon UK or somewhere.
Really, this just totally sucks.

I saw the rumors that other regions might get the theatrical cut, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that. Otherwise, I'll be treasuring my bootleg for many years to come.
I knew all that slashiness was too good to be true.

So much for being a good elf and waiting patiently for the frackin' DVD.

Stone is a cretin. What I liked anbout the film I liked in spite of his directorial decisions. The non-linear approach flat guarantees no-one will understand a thing, unless they've read half a dozen books beforehand.

(Are you doing a YouSendIt with it, you wonderful, wonderful person? I wonder what I could send you... want some West Wing episodes? A DVD rip of Ben Hur? with the Charlton Heston - Stephen Boyd subtexty scenes?)

*bg* slash will always survive! :D thanks for the idea, if it comes to that. *g*

somehow, unsurprisingly to me, i couldn't find ANYONE here that would go see it with me. the one local friend i have who's slash-friendly just kept going "eh..." when i asked. *shakes head* though i guess i got even with her. i've gotten her really, really hooked on SG1 fan fiction and J/D smutfic. *innocent grin*
