Xander ,'End of Days'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The rumour I read was definitely sourced by nothing official, and at the time no one associated with the movie had ever said anything about it--just a web outlet had said something like "Wouldn't it be nice if we could have this? They would make money if they did this."
But I keep seeing it have legs weeks later, and I can't tell if it's become more real.
Then again, nothing dies on the internet, other than Eddie Murphy.
I vaguely recall Joss saying that he believes that the movie you put in theaters is the director's cut, and that there wouldn't be an extended version (though the DVD will have scenes that were cut).
Yeah, I thought that rumor was already accepted to be bullshit.
My ticket for tomorrow morning is costing me $18.25.
Daaaamn, that's more than my IMAX ticket for tomorrow evening.
AND I HAVE A STUBS CARD.
So, no surcharge for online purchase. Just pure highway robbery, and I did not look at the price until days later, because what was I going to do? Not go?
I was like, $17.75 for IMAX? WITH fees? But...Inception was awesome in IMAX! And I never saw TDK in IMAX! So...let's splurge.
Javi doesn't seem to have liked it from what I caught of his vaguely spoilery post, but his issues seem to be similar to Jessica's, regarding morals and politics. I just want a good movie, man.
P-C, are you going tonight?
Tomorrow night.

Holy fuck. I'm so glad I don't pay for movies.
Still, if you can afford it, I highly recommend the IMAX. The IMAX-filmed scenes are fucking amazing. The opening sequence alone is something I'd pay to see again.
(In spite of the movie leaving me in an ethical quandary, I do really want to see it again, even if I have to pay for it. Which isn't something I felt about Avengers - as much fun as it was, there wasn't anything in there I felt like I needed to see over again so that I could fully process it.)
18.75 is the full price, though -- you're not getting the matinee price (16.75) even though it's 3:30 am.
Oh, right, THAT kind of morning. Some people call that night.
