I think this is Malick trying to correct season 6 of Lost . This is his version of how it should have been done.

I think Jay and the crew should record a commentary for Cars 2…that would be one reason to actually watch it.

Also, Jason Segal is hugely popular because of How I Met Your Mother. Never watched it but it has a large following, especially now going into syndication.

@Kyri, I was walking my dog while listening to part of the episode and the second Jay said “ginger pubes” I laughed so hard my dog got scared.

Film Junk is safest to be enjoyed when not out in public.

I came to realize that it’s impossible to keep a straight face while listening to these guys.. I scare people at the Gym all the time. people at the streets look at me funny..

But it’s all worth it baby.

It’s like going to the circus and watch real CLOWNS!
:p

great episode. I was listening it on ipod while walking in the city, I had to put quite a lot of effort to keep a straight face and not to scare children and good citizens around me.

@Frank

I love the version of Slash on there. Looks badass.

My name is Nat Almirall, and I agree with Frank’s message.

I’d also add to the director’s cut discussion that the DC of Amadeus is not as good as the theatrical cut. But it does have boobies.

The query about director’s vs. theatrical cuts is a fascinating one and I don’t believe there is a universal answer other than to say it is best to do research and gain a consensus on which is superior, start with that and then seek out the other version for comparison.

Some restoration or director cuts are indeed superior and are the only essential versions:
Blade Runner, Touch of Evil, Once Upon a Time in America, The Wild Bunch.

Some are comparable or have issues:
The Exorcist, The Alien Quadrilogy, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Some are disastrous:
Apocalypse Now.

They tried smell-o-vision back in the 60’s or something. They actually had tubes that would pipe in various smells. By the end the smells sort of mingled together and it was apparently terrible. It failed miserably. That said, I’d try it out one time. I’m curious. As far as I know it’s not been done in my lifetime.

Dave (#4),
I can almost quote you on that, since Michael Giacchino won his Oscar for the Up score. That was the one other Pixar feature he did- so one other, not “a couple”, if we’re going to split hairs. I love his music too- also in theaters now in Super 8.
