I always thought the sentry gun scene was a shitty loss for the theatrical version as well.
The entire sentry gun portion is removed? This makes it sound like half of it is, but the first half is still there.
Nope, there's not a trace of the sentry guns in the theatrical. They talk about the flamethrowers and shit from the APC wreckage (and you see the sentry gun crates), but they cut out all the dialog dealing with 'em.
The one cut I like between the two editions is the theatrical doesn't have the weird "oh hai i'm dwayne oh hai i'm ellen" scene when Ripley's going after Newt. It's such an odd bit, and isn't missed when its not there. It fucks up the pacing something fierce.
So the whole part where they are watching the ammo just deplete, and you hear all the gunfire and aliens screaming is not in the theatrical at all!? Holy shit, the theatrical version sounds awful!
It's actually really good! No one knew what we were missing when that was the only game in town.
It's very streamlined, and it jumps from memorable scene to memorable scene really quickly. You just get a lot less info on that "world", as it were.
Yeah, you had no idea how awesome the sentry gun scene was when it didn't exist at all.
It was still a good movie, but the extended version is much much better.
Just saw Jazz on a Summer's Day, documentary about a Rhode Island jazz, blues, and rock festival. I loved a lot of the shots.
... whatever that is, it looks awesome.
There has been sort of a surge of docs about music festivals from the 1960s for some reason. Usually pretty good, this one seems cool.
I just finished watching "Chinatown"
was there a resolution to it all? Or was i supposed to be left with the feeling that we know the truth but the truth wont bring down those who were responsible for it
