didn't do much today. after work i went to best buy to pick up 3 DVDs.

Amadeus Director's Cut

Koyaanisqatsi

Powaqqatsi



depending on how good the director's cut is, I have 2 DVD's I need to let go. Resevoir Dogs, and original release of Amadeus. If it's anything like the release of Last of the Mohicans Director's cut (compared to the theatrical release of Last of the Mohicans), I might have to tape the DVD disc to my forehead, and plummet head first off my 3 story balcony. DVD's like that should not be made. That is why I keep a VHS Widescreen of Last of the Mohicans. On the LOTM DVD, some of the film was faded, and instead of touching it up with some computer work, they just say, "it's purple because the film had aged.", and oh yeah, the best (by that i mean the worst) part is when they actually edit out the gore by slowing some of the fight scenes by cutting down the frame rate and producing an unconvincing slowmotion effect. they also put this last scene that was originally edited out back in. and it's this scene that doesn't fit too well. and the obvious and better decision would have been to just put this at the deleted scenes section, and not tack it at the end of the movie. sure, it's a directors cut, but this cut should be for him, and his collection only. ever hear of drinking some gasoline, taking a piss on your artwork, and setting it on fire? well, that DVD is something to that effect. of course, if you don't know the movie well enough to notice the differences, you would never know, but i do.



anyways, i really doubt amadeus would do anything foolish, but i always thought highly of the director's cuts, until i saw what happened to LOTM.



on my way home, i stopped by Nutri-Sport and Albertsons. I bought some peas and spinich (keeps your skin healthy and elastic), and then went to Nutri-Sport for some Glutapro, Hydroxycut, and Control.
