The Avengers Uncut Dvd Petition
Some of you might already know that the 1998 theatrical release of The Avengers was cut down from its 2.5 hour version to only 86 min. More than a hour was lost, that is why some scenes don't make sense. Many people belive it would even make the movie better. If you have seen the trailer you will get a taste of some of the cool scenes left out by WB. So a friend has put up a petition to get WB to release a uncut Dvd of the movie with every left on.
I know there have been many negative feelings towards this movie but I for one enjoyed it because I saw it thinking it was gonna be total crap. To my surprise it was way better than I had expected.
So If you liked the movie please go ahead to the link below and sign the petition, It won't take long. If you didn't like it, I think seeing 64 more minutes of Uma is a good enough reason to sign.
So please take the time and sign, Thank You

Not to burst your bubble but this movie had a $60 mil. budget and only made $23 mil. in the US. It was also heavily panned by critics and moviegoers alike. In other words: No new release. Ever.

The idea of another hour of that movie makes me ill.
I know they do this from time to time, but I honestly don't see a movie like this being saved by that extra footage.

1. Petitions are silly and a waste of time.
2. That film sucked camel nuts and was a bloody disgrace to the original series.
3. What's next, petitions for SE's of Glitter and Gigli?

people have to show more interest then a silly interweb petition in order for a studio to want to do a special edition dvd. Or else it ends up becoming more of a negative income for the studio. Not only do you have a bad film that didn't make money, but now you have a bad film that didn't make any money twice and is sitting on store shelves.
There is little to no interest in this. No thanks. Online petitions working ratio is 0.01%
atleast you aren't aiming everyone to try to get them to sign your petition.

Hello X,
Its me KarunaFan and Id like to clear up the problem with the names.
Including my 2 brothers and sister there are 4 kids in the family. Three of us share one computer while the oldest has his own. My computer is used by my younger brother and my older sister along with me. My older brothers computer and mine are linked through a router so we share 1 IP adress in the house. My younger brother is bluesaber18 and he has been on these forums the longest along with my older brother, my sister is pawap20 who recently joined yesterday and I am the second newest to this site. My first post was for an avengers movie petition in which my younger brother who really likes the movie also posted in to support it, My sister isn't really a fan and just wanted to help out so thats the reason behind her reply. My older brother doesn't really care that much so that is why he is nowhere to be found except in a few threads he posted in a few weeks or months ago.
So I am not just one person who is posting with differnt names. We are four different people who have four different names on two differn't computers which are linked through a router useing 1 IP adress. I would be happy if you can unban us and delete any posts accusing me of something I didnt do.

KarunaFan,
I have reasons to not believe you and you are permanently banned. Do not sign up again. And tell the "other" members of your family that signed up but didn't get a chance to post in this thread yet goodbye as well.
