For Terrence Malick, also : Days of Heaven, Thin red line and I haven't watched any cut of the New World Yet.
Think red line has fixated me ever since I found out that he couldn't edit his own film within the time constraints, so it was taken off him and a version of the film released, which I personally love. But there was so much extra footage shot that multiple other films could have been made from it. Nick Nolte at the time had said that he was surprised that they managed to get a workable film without it being 6 hours long, and how he would love to see a 100% alternate cut.
Normally with films you get longer and shorter cuts, but for this film it really should have been a divided film like Che1 and 2.
Malick does that with all his films. He just keeps writing more script and filming more stuff and then having to be manhandled from the editing suite when he hasn't got anything like finished product after 4 months or whatever.
Crank FTW.
Crank2, I have decided is not quite as good. Its mainly a huge set of in jokes about all and sundry, and though great fun, it didn't have me in total hysterics like the first one.
There are rumours Crank 3D is in the offing and I would see that at the cinema, although I have a feeling they may have exhausted the concepts involved. Unless they get Mike Patton to co-write the script as well as do the soundtrack again.
