Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
Maybe they do not have the rights to release the scene on home video due to an objection by one of the rights holders of one of the other characters used in the scene? I mean, "The Fifth Element" is owned by Sony, "Shrek" by Dreamworks, and "Saw" by Lionsgate, while this is a Universal release....
Even though it is obviously done as parody/in a comedic fashion, there could be some unknown legal issue at work here....look at ROBOT CHICKEN, they had to cut a whole 3+ minute sketch where Beavis & Butt-head join the Teen Titans out of one of their 1st season DVD release..... |
Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
^ I seriously doubt that - they're dressed up as those characters for Halloween, they're not actually playing those character like in that Robot Chicken skit.

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
But then they include the picture of it on the packaging.... not a rights issue.

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
Yeah, this sucks. At least throw it in the deleted scenes section of the DVD.
Not that I think it'll show up there, but it'd be nice if they at least throw it on as an extra for the upcoming "Overtime" DVD: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg |

These days, all those DVD rights are worked out beforehand.
If it was, then "Robot Chicken" would not have had to cut the sketch I mentioned, and "My Name Is Earl" would not have had music replacement....both of those shows were created during the DVD-era, and yet both had rights issued which prevented them from being released as originally aired.... |
Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
Thanks for pointing this out. You saved me some money. I don't support edited content like that. What a joke.

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
I didn't know a sketch was cut from Robot Chicken, which one was it?

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
If it was just an issue with Michael hanging, THEN CUT THE SHOT OF HIM HANGING. They didn't need to excise the whole bit.

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
The scene still lives on Hulu and again, they could have cut to credits after Jim's sarcastic quip about Bookface. It would have been a little off, but no reason to destroy ~1min and 55secs of genuine comedy because of a 20sec gag that a bunch of crybabies got all in a huff about.

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
I still don't get cutting it out of a DVD release which someone has to affirmatively spend money and purchase it. It is not being shown on public commercial airwaves. At worst, they should have put a disclaimer warning on the packaging and/or episode prior to the beginning of the opening, while leaving it intact on the DVD. I've purchased S1-S5 w/out hesitation. I will not spend money on this set unless/until the season is offered in its entirety. It's also objectionable (as others have noted) that the packaging in order to generate hype and interest (and sales) as well as the disc menu, while not including it. Looks/sounds like false advertising to me.

A little off topic, but what the hell is it with Universal and their fondness for crappy, experimental disc cases? The case that "The Office" Blu-ray came in is more like some sort of puzzle than a disc case. I actually had to sit down and really look it over just to figure out how to get the discs out. I wonder how many people are cracking discs with this damned thing?
And to find out a scene had been cut to top it all off... makes me super sad. Meh. |
Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
Along the same lines: I recently re-watched the Doctor Who episode from earlier this year that features Vincent van Gogh. This time around, I noticed that they actually displayed a "suicide hotline" phone # at the end.

Re: The Office Season Six: Scene Missing
I'm glad the scene was removed, although it's unfortunate that it still exists in the streaming versions of the episode.

I realize that I'm probably just feeding a troll here but I'm curious if you're serious about this. |
