von Trier's intended cut is 5 and a half hours long. The producers truncated it to make it more of an "easy sell" in theaters. He still intends to release his preferred version later this year, but as of now, the version in theaters is the edited versions.
It says here some of the stuff that's missing in "Vol. I":

I just finished 'Vol. 1' and I absolutely loved it.

Saw Vol. II last night. Loved it!
I didn't like Shai LeBeouf in either film, but the rest of the casting was on-point which made up for that.

This weekend a local theater is showing both parts back-to-back. Would this be a preferred way to watch this? Should I wait for the longer cut to be released?

Haha. I meant an emotional break. Not 15 minutes or whatever it is. I liked Part I better, although Part II is really good as well. Part II has much more difficult scenes to watch. It's outright brutal at times.
Part II features Charlotte Gainsbourg as the adult "Joe" much more than the first film.
As far as Part II goes, all I'll say is that "Billy Elliot" was a long time ago. Wait until you see what Jamie Bell's character is up to in this film.

Thanks for the info. What I am up against is that this weekend will be my main shot at catching these. My girlfriend and I have plans for Saturday (she is not interested in the movie). The weekday showings are way too late. So that leaves Sunday.
I will see about maybe splitting up the showings but I might just have to power through them back-to-back.

Looks like the blu ray is coming out on 7/8. You can buy Vol 1 & 2 separate or as a bundle. Right now Amazon has the bundle pretty cheap ($28). Not sure if it's uncut or not.

Vol 1 & Vol 2 (they're both included in the same package) is currently on sale via Amazon UK. I canceled my order, because I don't think they're the uncensored cuts. I'll wait for those.

So I found the R1 Blu-Ray at a local store this evening and everything about it looks great except for one thing:
The aspect ratio has been changed for the third chapter "Mrs. H" from 1.85 to 2.40 and the audio's pitch has been slowed.

Outside the (reported) cheaper price, is there any reason why I shouldn't be looking to purchase UK release?

The film and bonuses are split over two discs (the artwork for each matches the European teaser posters of the fish hook and the whip).
Disc I's extras include a ten minute look at the characters, a 3 minute EPK and the "Vol. I" trailer. Disc's II's are two ten minute makings of regarding Lars von Trier and the sex and the "Vol. II" trailer.

I was talking about the technical nature of it cuz it seems Magnolia may have fucked this one.

Wondering why they didn't notice the pitch change. I wonder how significant it is. ReduxGuy, can you chime in on that?
I'm Region Free for BDs, so buying the UK release isn't an issue. It's just the price difference. The UK release would be about $33 (before removal of VAT tax and adding on shipping) vs. the release at Best Buy which has been reported at $17.99 for both films.

The only time the audio pitch was noticeable was during the flashback scenes in "Mrs. H". Watching the Blu-Ray, whenever Uma Thurman speaks, her voice sounds a little deeper than it normally is and even Charlotte Gainsbourg's narration comes off sounding "off" compared to her normal voice. Watching the trailer and the film on Blu, there's a definite difference that shows.
As for the aspect ratio, I screen capped several shots. The ones on top are from the original trailer, which shows the scenes as they were shown theatrically and the ones on bottom are as they're presented on the Blu-Ray/DVD.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
* interesting side note: at the end of "Vol. II", when the recap of all the major events take place, the scenes from this chapter are shown in their OAR.

Weird, but I would never go by what is shown in a trailer anymore. Half the time there's actual footage that never makes it to the theatrical cut let alone whacky OAR changes.
