R rated version or NC-17 version?

Edit - The pic didn't load up before.

I never understood why Jared Leto got such a high billing in this movie, he's only in it for a couple of minutes!

Is this going to be worth getting if you already own the previously released version? From that summary, it's not looking like it will.

Holy cash-in's Batman!!

Very entertaining few minutes though. When he's drunk in Bateman's apartment and notices the newspaper all over the place - "what, have you got a little Chow or something". Very funny.

I sold my R2 version as EiV cocked up the lip-sync on it, so this new edition will definitely find a home in my collection.

I don't think it's very nice or fair to rip the entire specs and cover art from a site and not credit them as your source. It was because of behaviour such as this that they had to start adding the watermarks to their cover art that you can see above.

I will be getting this for the new transfer and the EX soundtrack.

ohood · 08-04-2005, 09:01

I'll definately be getting this. Very funny and nasty film. Great stuff. Nice artwork too.

Chick21 · 08-04-2005, 10:02

Woo! Cracking film this and also released on my birthday

And to top it off the remastering and EX soundtrack should make it a good buy

Heh. I thought this would happen.

You could've expected The Machinist to get a wider theatrical release had it come out after Batman Begins.

Alanok · 08-04-2005, 12:28

Definitely one to add to the library.

Have a read of the book, very disturbing!!!

Jonnof · 08-04-2005, 12:57

Deleted scenes, eh? Shouldn't imagine it will be anything too eyebrow-raising - Harron and Turner filtered out most of the hard stuff at the scripting stage.

Looks quite promising - I love the film, though its artistic merits are open to (considerable) debate for most fans of the book

Psycho · 08-04-2005, 13:42

Loved this film!

Question: Was the UK version an uncut version? So is this US uncut version that same as the one I've already seen or will if have more in it?

Thanks,

Psycho

Also, as a collectors edition, they could have included some business cards!

Heh, business cards would have been cool. Tastefully thick ones, in bone.

Psycho, the UK version is currently more 'uncut' than the US 'unrated' version. It's only one syllable of dialogue AFAIK, "hole" is removed after "ass" in the US during the ménage à trois scene for some bizarre reason. It remains to be seen if this is put back in for this new release. I don't think there's anything else different.

anephric · 08-04-2005, 14:09

Or a Huey Lewis album (before he went too black-sounding).
