Just noticed something funny on the ROTS dvd!

yeah i remember someone here posted links to a whole movie that some guy cut together with deleted/alternate/elongated scenes from the original trilogy that was pretty mind-blowing with exactly how much stuff did not make it to the DVDs.

also, LOTR sort of had the excuse, just like Sin City is doing, of putting scenes in that were in the book... they were in the book so really they should be in the movie blah blah blah. i personally think that Jackson just got lucky/awesome that the director's cuts still flow and pace along nicely. Lucas' prowess in editing i'm not so confident in. Plus did you see that recreated sequence on the episode 1 disc with the aqua boat ship thing almost falling over the really bad CG waterfall? yeah, i wouldn't make fun of THAT if it was cut into the film.

but anyway, on a general note about this whole thread since i haven't commented yet... those sorts of things (seeing an actor's dental work, seeing an extra react before the event, stuff like seeing the little jet nozzles on the "scalding hot" grill when Arnie throws the guy onto it while getting his clothes in Terminator 2) are really aggrivating in that once you notice them you can't really un-notice them. It's like the 555 telephone number thing or the cigarette burns at the ends of reels or how the lightning always comes exactly at the same time as the thunder whenever there's a storm... they just pile up and change the way you watch movies... Premiere magazine has a little column dedicated to it called "gaffe squad" and i hate it. it's always better not to know that shit... ignorance is bliss, man.
