Do people actually walk out of movies? I’ve noticed that people make this comment all the time, I have never seen anyone walk out of a movie, I don’t even pay attention to what people around me are doing (unless they are making noise or something). If I see someone get up, I just assume they’re going to the concession stand or the restroom.

That said- I received this movie yesterday through Netflix, I’m looking forward to watching sometime this weekend.

Just to answer your question filmfreak...yes, people walk out of movies all the time. The New World is perfect evidence. I thought the movie was an incredible visual masterpiece, but half the theater I was with didn't think so and roughly half left during the film. Granted, I went to like a 10:45PM showing so it can be a tough film for some people to watch later at night, but I still don't think I've ever seen so many people walk out of a movie before. Maybe they thought there was going to be more action than the two or so action sequences the film contained? Who knows, but I sure liked it.

I still haven't grabbed the DVD, but I'm really curious to check out an extended version of the film. Maybe I'll just hold off on buying the first release for a while...

People walked out of the Aristocrats. Almost become publicity for the movie.

I saw about six or eight people walk out of a screening of Waking Life in Greenwich Village.

Most walk-outs witnessed by me? A Sunday afternoon showing of "Moulin Rouge". A half-empty auditorium ended up about a quarter full by the end. I think the average age of the walk-outs was 65. Guess they thought they were finally going to see an old-school musical again. IIRC, the movie was hyped as the grand return of the movie musical. Hmph. Not what they had in mind!

I always get the same age range (65+) walking out of movies. Mostly foreign ones. It seems to me that they don't do any kind of reading about the film before putting out the cash to go.

You just probably "Don't Understand" it..

Keith Uhlich wrote about some of the differences between the two cuts here: http://mattzollerseitz.blogspot.com/

Scroll down to the May 14 entry.

So, from that blog description, it seems that the "extended" cut is not just a longer version. But the two are really edited differently, with some things in the shorter theatrical that aren't in the longer version.

Saw this for the first time a little over a week ago when I went to see L'Enfant. I don't think that the film was what the couple had expected. I liked it, though. It was like a French Gus Van Sant film.

So, back on topic. Is this coming out on DVD or should I just buy the version that is out now?

So, I finally bought this movie and have watched it 3 times already. It's probably one of my favorite movies of recent years and will gladly double dip on an extended version. That's all I wanted to say.
