Oh wow, I was shocked when I saw this listed as coming back to my local theatre for another run starting this Friday. Had no idea it was an "expanded" version. Will definitely be going to see it again. Now that the weather is cooling down, it'll be fun to be reminded of the sweaty summer.

Huh? So it isn't a new cut of the movie with the four scenes added back in, but instead they'll play half of them before the movie starts and the other half after it's over? Boy, I really hope it's just the Deadline article using the term "book-ending" incorrectly, because if not, that's a huge letdown.

Why So Blu?

If it's restored footage I'll go, but if they're just "extra" scenes then I will wait for the home video release.

Anyone know if the four extra scenes are worth it? (yeah, basically looking to see if anyone has any inside info).

Why So Blu?

Looks like no one knows shit.

I've seen it twice too. I'll probably wait to hear if it's worth it or if it's going to be released on video.

Why So Blu?

Just watched the digital version from VUDU and there are 7 deleted scenes/ads in there. I can see why some of the scenes were deleted but the ads could have stayed in. Here's hoping that QT does that special edition of it for Netflix like he did with Hateful 8.

Cannot forgive that portrayal of Bruce Lee (and yes i know it's fiction ya ya da), doesn't matter, still fucking aweful

But loved the violence against women ending

Overall very average

Mabuse

What a charming review. Was it published in Basic Opinions magazine?

What fellas ?

They were bad evil women, they deserved a good kickin and they got it

Toddarino

Well this got interesting

dex14

You do know there was a "bad evil" man there in that scene too who also deserved and got a "good kickin"...right?

"I'm as real as a donut, motherfucker!"

BTW, does anyone know if these extra 10 minutes, or whatever, of scenes will be on the blu-ray, and if they'll be in a longer cut of the movie, or presented as extras?

Why So Blu?

They will be special features/extras/supplements. There is no "restored," "extended/director's cut," or "mini-series" available on BD or any other format.

Original Desmond

And that's what i liked. They did not take it easy on the women. Equal opportunity violence

Well, the last 15-minutes were great, the first 2.5 hours on the other hand was... uneventful. I have an interest in Hollywood, more from the 1980s though, so some of the slower scenes still kept my attention, but there's no real plot and minimal character development.

That said, DiCaprio and Pitt both give great performances and Margot Robbie of course had her moments, however I could only chuckle during the theater scene when she kicked her bare feet up. Okay, Quentin, lol. 3.0/5

The Infidel

Just finished watching. Really enjoyed it a lot. Even laughed out loud when

Mabuse

And Margheretti was a real guy who directed Italian schlock.

slop101

How were the 25 minutes of deleted scenes on the blu-ray?
Worth watching - would they improve the movie if inserted into it?

Why So Blu?

The fake commercials might, but not necessarily the actual deleted footage. I'm assuming there are more deleted scenes featuring Tim Roth and James Marsden. I'd say their scenes would be awesome to see in context. Hopefully that gets turned into the mini-series for Netflix like QT did with Hateful Eight.

bluetoast

Very much worth watching, but as supplements and not inserted into the movie. Two of them are like five minutes of the actual shows that Rick is on, so it’s cool to see those stories play out for a bit.

Then there’s a one take scene between Rick and Nicholas Hammond/Spider-Man in character, talking about acting and Hollywood which is great.
