5) THE MOST DISAPPOINTING/SUPERFLUOUS "DIRECTOR'S CUT" OR OTHERWISE EXTENDED EDITION OF A MOVIE YOU'VE SEEN?*
the DONNIE DARKO (2001) director cut dvd makes frustrating changes to the film & actually diminishes it in my opinion. It was probably just an excuse to repackage the movie.
I also don't like all the weird French plantation scenes added in APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX.

6) WHAT IS THE MOVIE YOU FEEL WAS ENHANCED BY A VARIANT VERSION?*
The workprint cut (now referred to as the director's cut) of BLADE RUNNER (1982) is way better than the theatrical version. I'll never understand why Warner Bros felt the need to add a voice-over narration.
Also the "Cabal" cut of NIGHTBREED (1990) is awesome.

10) NAME A FAVORITE DIRECTOR'S MOST EGREGIOUS MISSTEP
Terry Gilliam's THE BROTHERS GRIMM (2005) and the Coen brother's INTOLERABLE CRUELTY (2003).. Yikes, those are surprisingly messy.
also Shyamalan's THE HAPPENING (2008) and LAST AIRBENDER (2010).

16) NOW THAT SOME TIME HAS PASSED... THE INTERVIEW (2014), YES OR NO?
No.. It had some funny parts but overall I felt it was a big step down for team Rogen/Goldberg. Like a lamer 21st century update of Landis' SPIES LIKE US (1985).

18) THOUGH BOTH DISPLAYED STRONG DOCUMENTARY INFLUENCE IN THEIR EARLY FILMS, WIM WENDERS AND WERNER HERZOG HAVE FOCUSED HEAVILY ON THE DOCUMENTARY FORM LATE IN THEIR FILMMAKING CAREERS. IF HE HAD LIVED, WHAT KIND OF FILMS DO YOU THINK RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER, THEIR PARTNER IN THE GERMAN NEW WAVE OF THE '70s, WOULD BE MAKING NOW?
I know he wanted to make a film of Pitigrilli's book Cocaine. As to what he would have made from the late 80s to present, I'm not so sure. I like to think he would have eventually tried to make an overt genre horror movie. Like many great visual stylists seem to end up trying once; Ex. Kubrick with THE SHINING, Herzog with NOSFERATU (1979), Scorsese with CAPE FEAR (1991), etc.. His style was so slick and beautiful. He would have made one visually haunting fright fest

19) NAME A DVD YOU'VE REPLACED WITH A BLU-RAY. NAME ANOTHER THAT YOU DECIDED NOT TO REPLACE*
I've replaced most of my dvds with blu-rays. If an HD replacement is available I usually try to snag it. Most recently I got a new copy of INTRUDER (1989).
I haven't replaced my dvd of the MIAMI VICE (2006) theatrical cut yet because the blu-ray that exists of it (so far) is the "Unrated Director's Edition" edit.. I don't like the changes in that version.
