Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Thanks for the fixed link, CP. That was cool.

I have no problem with the Dark City cover art. What I do have a problem with is the entire concept of a "director's cut" that has no bearing on what the director may have originally wanted but couldn't achieve. I hate these 20-years-later, less talented old man revisions.

I love this movie ... but unless I learn that the new version is something along the lines of what Proyas always intended but the studio wouldn't allow, or some such .... I'm really not interested in buying it (though of course, I'll want to see it as a curiousity).

Does anyone know the lowdown on this? Vanity Project or long-lost-How-It-Should-Have-Been?

The first I'd heard of it was around 2005 - there were quite a few comments on the original DVD to the effect of "the studio didn't want this- so we did this".
