Reindeer Games the DC makes Afflecks character more badass and not such a pussy.
The Abyss.
The Warriors Theatrical can't stand the cartoon shit they added for the DC and sadly that is the only version on blu.

No, I wouldn't watch them. They're digital copies. I don't believe in digital copies. It's incredibly stupid to spend all that money on high definition blu-rays then turn around and watch inferior quality copies. If you have the blu-rays, just watch the blu-rays. That's what blu-ray drives in laptops are for.

Do you understand why they're split though?
I don't necessarily agree w/ it..but I understand why.

No, there's no reason for them to be split. I'm sure that there is enough space on a blu-ray for the whole thing to be on one disc.

1) The animated freeze-frame on Luther after throwing a fit with the candy-bar girl. The end of this scene always came off as one of the more goofy moments to me in the theatrical cut. But the Director's Cut gives the viewer the impression that Luther isn't finished with her yet...And something more brutal could possibly be in store.
2) The transition of the animated subway into a real subway when it arrives in Coney. Just beautiful art, IMO.

Each of the Extended Edition movies require more than 50GB. Compressing them to ‘under 50GB’ would have degraded the quality of the picture and sound track.
Each movie has a DTS HD-MA 6.1 Soundtrack.
Each movie disc includes 4 additional commentary sound tracks: Director & Writers, the Design Team, the Production and Post Production Teams and Cast commentaries.
Runtimes:
The Fellowship of the Ring - 200 minutes (3 hours, 20 minutes)
The Two Towers - 214 minutes (3 hours, 34 minutes)
The Return of the King - 240 minutes (4 hours)
For films of that length, with such extensive special effects, movement, etc., they are already hard enough to compress. And that's just the video. Throw on a DTS-HD MA track and FOUR commentaries... and you're stretching that disc space very very thin.
Refusing to watch them because they're each split onto two discs is insane.

Exactly. The compression alone would give us horrid quality for the format. I don't like it...but it's the only way and I'm fine w/ it for the reason it is. I'm not going to bitch about it if what I want NOW would give me inferior quality. Fuck that.

No, I don't. If I know it would be around the time that I normally go to the bathroom, I won't watch anything because I hate to stop watching.

Ran across another one. One of my first BR discs was The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Only available as an extended cut. Found it painfully long. Don't even think it was that much longer, but what they added didn't seem to do anything for the story but make me keep checking the clock

I actually prefer the Director's Cut of Das Boot (The Boat). I think the Extended Cut / Uncut Miniseries Version (which is almost 5 hours) was a bit bloated and basically just too long. I think the Theatrical Cut (2:29) was too short which caused some choppy inconsistencies here and there. So I think the Directors' Cut (3:29) is the overall best version of this great war film.

Batman V Superman
Having watched the extended cut first, I actually ended up liking the theatrical cut more. For a film like this, better pacing wins out over a heavy plot.
