1) Is Sandi Thom's 'I wish I was a punk rocker...' the most irritating song ever written after the third or fourth listen?
2) Can you think of any Director's Cuts of films that are worse than the original? *With the exception of the special editions of the original trilogy because I've already thought of that!
EDIT : Added the link to the video so you can all see/hear the horror.

1. I've never heard it. Now I'm not so sure I want to hear it even for a first listen.
2. Director's cut - Picking up the pieces from the cutting room floor with the aim of making more money from a classic piece of filming.
It's right up there with "digitally remastered" versions. I'm suprised they haven't thought of the gaffer's cut.
I can't think of any that is better than the original, but the colour touch ups on The Sound of Music was definitely worth the money.
There you go, the link to the song is up. You know you want to listen! Mwuahahaha!
And you're seriously paying out Director's Cuts of Blade Runner and Aliens?????? Harsh critic.
133: What's your home phone number? I want to ring your mother to let her know what an evil creature she brought into the world. That's not a song! It's a repetitive one liner written for the winner of the talentless contest. Oh wait. Nooooooooooooo! FARK! I have the tune stuck in my head. Quick quick quick give me some Stevie Wonder to ward off the evil.
I knew you were going to bring up Ridley Scott - I bet he is the director with the most number of cuts. No really, Black Hawk Down - Director's Cut. Just wait another couple of years. I will, however, concede that they are value-added bits but why offer an alternative version if you had the opportunity to get it right the first time eh? Peer pressure from Hollywood producers? You would think with his clout, Mr Scott would never compromise his artistic integrity.
Am I that predictable as to invoke Scott and Cameron? hehe
And yes, I'm glad you couldn't resist clicking on the Sandi Thom link. Feel the pain...
