My recommended queue addition this week is the Ridley Scott epic that should've turned Orlando Bloom into a leading man and rivaled Braveheart and Gladiator as one of the greatest movies of the last 20 years, but instead bombed into oblivion. I know now that the reason it did so was because what was released was the Reader's Digest version, the actual film that Mr. Scott intended would've fulfilled what people were hoping for and then some. After watching The Director's Cut, you'll have mixed emotions because you'll be stoked that you just watched an amazing film, but you'll be pissed because you'll realize how much the studio screwed the pooch on this one. i mean its not just a film they destroyed but an actual masterpiece. Rent it, watch it, spread the word, I have a feeling that in five years it will be a certified cult classic and that there will be a re-release of the film in theaters. I'll be there.

Ridley Scott got hosed on Blade Runner too. The Director's Cut is much better than the theatrical version.
It's just further proof that major studios have too much say in the finished product.
I read online that Marvel cut a scene out of the new Hulk movie where Hulk meets Captain America at the South Pole while he is contemplating whether to kill himself and the Hulk virus. It was apparently "too dark" for kids. C'mon man!
