This is a bummer. I didn't know Keitel aligns himself with the far right.

When they were talking about famous pool players, Jeanette Lee AKA "The Black Widow" was the first person to come to mind.

See that picture? It's not the opening shot anymore. So there's that!

There's a bunch of reports on this coming out at various twitter/insta/letterboxd accounts, as well as enthusiast forums like blu-ray.com etcetera. Combing through them it seems like the consensus is that the big change is to the ending of the prior Director's Cut, but otherwise this is 95% the exact same thing as that was - which is maybe why it's not going to be in 4K on the 4K set?

THE BIG CHANGES:

• There is no Nonpoint cover of In The Air Tonight (not in the end credits, either)
• There's a scene extension/deleted scene inclusion with Eddie Marsan calling Yero to set up the meet with Sonny & Rico.
• While in Cuba, Isabella no longer talks about her mother on the balcony.
• Sonny's sneaky bit of (really hard to see) MMA where he chokes out a guy at the Trailer Park is now gone.
• The movie now ends with Sonny walking back to his car after Isabella leaves on the boat: No cops raiding Montoya's empty compound, no Sonny entering the hospital. Trudy's waking up has been moved to earlier in the ending.
• He has also apparently done what he did with Manhunter - it's lower contrast, with less color. EDIT: Also, according to this comment by a blankie - u/BlueBearXC - it has been "cleaned up" which suggests some DNR/Noise Reduction has been applied

So he appears to have, basically, desaturated both the vibes AND the visuals.

I'm now completely baffled by the press release for this thing: Why was it talking about going into the dailies and making a big deal about how reworked the ending was supposed to be? It's basically a faster Director's Cut, it appears to be no wholly new scenes included (maybe some different inserts/extensions?) and it seems like a pretty big mistake to lose BOTH the cold open AND the perfect crosscutting rhythm of the ending. Maybe something else will come out that everyone else has missed so far, but... yeah

We'll always have the Miami Nice cut, I guess.

Some things never change

I guess I’ll finally watch Swing Shift
