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.

Have they announced a released date for the DVD now? Because, if they don't soon, I may ask you to bring a copy of your copy of the movie to London, in September (if it's not a bother). I'm re-watching and re-watching this scene from the balcony, and I... God, I want more.
