requiem for a dream

[Alethia]

was in the dvd store tonight -- came across the requiem for a dream dvd and i immediately wanted to buy it, but it said edited version on it, i  noticed.  i had seen this in theaters about 3 years ago when it came out - and since they didnt have anything but the edited version, i bought it.  i have watched it and i didnt notice anything different (it has been a while), but i know it is different.  is it worth shopping around and returning this one to get the directors cut (its very hard to find around here) or is there not much of a difference?  the film is still fucking powerful nonetheless.

from imdb:
"The edited version replaces the shot of Marion and another woman having sex with two men with a shot of Marion partially clothed climbing on top of a man. Also, all the shots of the double-ended dildo and the shots of Marion and the woman having sex on it have been replaced with alternate camera angles and shots that hide any indication that the two are having anal sex on it. Some shots were also re-used to hide the close-ups of the two butts slamming together.

In the opening credits for the edited version, when the title card "Requiem for a Dream" crashes down, underneath it is a red box with red lettering that reads "edited version", making it clear to the viewer that they are not seeing the true version of the film."

if ever something like this would happen to my movie, i would call it "censored version" not "edited."

Ive seen both and own directors cut.  Only difference ive noticed is a much more explicit version of the dildo riding scene towards the end.  Other than that i noticed nothing different.

thank you

[Recce]

edited version. What a travesty.

Mine is R2 PAL. I guess it's the UK version. The running time is 97 mins.

Is this the extended version?

.......By the way cool commentary by Aronofsky

The edited R1 DVD sucks.

You don't get any bonus features.

aurora, would you please get a new avatar?

[phil marlowe]

oh...

nice.

[Sleuth]

What was aurora's avatar before?  I'm thinking it may have been better than this one

[aurora]

When you are asking me to get a new avatar is it because its displaying a big ass banner?

Its my script fucking up. If you refresh it should fix it but I am working on a way so I can host it myself and not have that stupid fuckin banner popping up randomly

[Sleuth]

Most of the time I see the banner, once I saw Requiem For a Dream

[aurora]

Ok guys

It should be all fixed now

Sorry about that

Let me know if it does it again

it's still doing it, or it's a red box.

i think getting an av that doesn't end in .php would be a good idea..
