...and Ruffalo redubbed his lines in the voice of The Hulk, which explains the title card after the end credits that bears the legend "We should have hired Weadon."

Don't you mean "available"?
I'll look at the KL cut eventually, but yeah, it was long enough already.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 17 May 2012 04:32 (twelve years ago) link
It wasn't really long enough at all. There seemed to be a chunk of Matt Damon's scenes that had been cut, making an awkward lurch in that strand. Smilarly with Lisa's lawsuit arc.

^ just read, ty ned. loved this:
During all this, Lonergan gamely supported the film, attending question-and-answer sessions at screenings of “Margaret” and deflecting questions about the movie’s tortured history. (“Buy me a drink sometime,” he joked grimly to one person who asked about the long delay.)
am genuinely excited about catching the longer version. as much, really, to reimmerse in the languorous stuff i've already seen as for the extras, loose ends & breathing space it might afford.

sorry that's a long article and i just want to know if there's news therein about a dvd release, directors cut or whatever.
― jed_, Saturday, 23 June 2012 00:06 (twelve years ago) link
is this anything like Rachel Getting Married? i have a fear of seeing something like that again so i'm just checking first.
loved You Can Count On Me, this looks good too.

i honestly think i'd rather be waterboarded than see that again. & i only saw half of it the first time because i walked out.

extended version out in the states on july 9!no-one knows for sure that it's lonergan's platonic three hour cut, but i think it probably is? that the article details the film being fucked up every which way it's still plausible that it'll be some kind of slo-mo remix of the theatrical release, but it's looking promising.

it is not very much like RGM, except they are both good films w/ solid lead performances.

This was very good but I'm irked that there was no mention of the bus passengers, or any bystanders, having witnessed anything. And the police never question Lisa's involvement in the crash.

that oversight hadn't occurred to me, anyhow. really looking forward to seeing it again.
Man, New Yorkers will be arguing about this movie long after the rest of the country forgot they never knew about this movie.

3-hr cut of this is def. superior to the theatrical.

The film shows the Upper West Side to be kind of a horrible place IMO

is the version on itunes the director's cut or the theatrical release?

2 1/2 hours so I guess it's not the directors cut....annoying

It's playing at Nova which has 15 screens and the management likes to use their surplus screens to push films/distinguish themselves. Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind played there for over a year.

So, I watched the extended cut. I never saw the 2 1/2 hour version, but loved this movie. It sucks that it's so hard to see it correctly.

So it's an extended cut and not a director's cut, right? That is, the best they can do? Did Lonergan supervise its, er, extension?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 13 July 2012 12:39 (twelve years ago) link
well it was probably an earlier cut of Lonergan's or one that was submitted with his approval. The studio are hardly going to ask him to recut the entire movie to his desired version at this stage given all they they have already lost financially. plus he could take another year to do it, i dare say.
― jed_, Friday, 13 July 2012 12:45 (twelve years ago) link
can't wait to see the extended cut of this. criminal that it was only released on one screen for 2 weeks in the UK
― stet, Friday, 13 July 2012 13:18 (twelve years ago) link
Does the longer cut shed any more light on the scene where Paquin tells Damon she's had an abortion? Unless I missed something, I think the shorter cut leaves it ambiguous as to whether this is a lie.
