The theatres here in HI have self-serve drinks, too. I like it. The popcorn, tho, is like $500 dollars.

The Conversation! Wonderful film. I liked it a lot.
I've seen a ton of films on TCM and don't remember any of them being cut (for length, content etc). I don't remember where they stand on films with adult language but I remember seeing a few films with the swearing in tact.

One of my local Culver City theaters has self-serve soft drinks. And the popcorn is only $459.99!

...their slave...

(Sorry, but that is one of the grammar mistakes that shreds my nerves.)

Nope, they keep him down as part of the underclass by learning him bad grammars on the job.

Deleted Scene from Close Encounters

innerSpaceman · 08-19-2009, 05:17 PM

Thanks for the uber-

alerts, but of course that's not one of the two missing scenes I'll go to my grave insisting were in the original. (And once I go to my grave, they will be erased from all recorded and imaginary history).

That's a scene that was never in the film, and not even one of the more interesting ones. Close Encounters is really marvelous for what was judiciously left on the editing room floor. In particular, Spielberg seems to have filmed every second of Roy Neary's travels on the night of the electrical blackout. That he edited this down to one of cinema's most arresting segments is quite a feat.

(My favorite deleted scene is a garden party that the Nearys have the afternoon after Roy's close encounter. It's a total hoot. Great DVD extra.)

I knew it wasn't either of your oft mentioned scenes, which is why I put it on high atomic alert. It wasn't clear from the post whether or not it was a newly surfaced find or not so I thought you'd want to know, just in case.

innerSpaceman · 08-19-2009, 10:29 PM

I really appreciate that, truly.

Sigh, I hate being (apparently) the only one on the planet who KNOWS those two scenes were in the original movie.

Well, me and that other Steven ... but I guess he's not talking.
