I just got the dvd from netflix because I though the dvd version was the extended cut but it's the theatrical version. Dammit!

It's still damn good, homie.

I would never knowingly watch a lesser version of a film when a better version is available.

Why do you automatically assume it's a better version?

Why do you automatically assume it's a better version?

Because every thing I've read on it said it was the preferred version.

It's available for purchase on Amazon.

I think only the extended cut is available over here.

BTW this movie was fantastic.

We told him it is in this thread.

This was great. Love the doubling of Lisa's declaration of guilt echoed in Damon's admission of guilt. Some of the cityshots could be trimmed off the director's cut, but as an evocation of a city and a mood, it's wonderfully detailed, multifaceted, and filled with bravura scenes.

Ok, I'm trying to track this thing down. iTunes has a 2:30 version. Is that the one to watch?

I read an article that said there's a studio cut (2:00), Scorsese's cut (2:30), and Lonergan's original 3:00 cut. I'm not sure what was released when.

Little help?

[Watashi]

That's the theatrical cut, but if you can, try to watch the director's cut.

[Yxklyx]

Well I thought the theatrical cut was the best movie of the year - not sure I want to watch the director's cut.

Cool, thanks guys.
