I ate lots & lots today & I am proud of myself for doing so, I feel like a true American, whatever the phuck that means!! On a non-related subject I watched The Butterfly Effect with Lestat, Matt Daymon & Tequila from the workplace. Being the directors cut, it came as a surprise that the ending was not what I had seen when I watched it at the cinema which is when I saw this film last. Thank heavens for DVD and their magnificent special features. Flipping over the disc gave the theatrical version so watching the last chapter on the other side satisfied me. Quite varied unlike alternate endings on most DVD's I've seen in the past (especially 24 season 1) *shivers*. I'm glad they left that ending the way that they did.
With 'The Butterfly Effect' I'm not sure which ending I preferred. They both made sense, & though the theatrical cut could be seen as the Spielberg version of the two & has a dosage of cheese its still a viable solution. The director's cut more so a thought provoker. At this point in the film you're thinking plenty anyway so I can see why they cut it out but its an interesting alternative to see none-the-less.
As with my first viewing I thought this is Ashton Kutcher's best acted film yet. NOt saying his acting is great, even good, its just the best he's done yet. :) I think the true stars of this one are Amy Smart who shows a lot of versatility throughout the entire film & Jesse James The kid that played Tommy aged 13 (Psycho-Boy). You might remember him from Blow where he played the young version of Johnny Depp's character George.
