I wish films became open source after a short period, that is, I want to see studios eventually release all their archival materials for every film so that fans can release their own cuts. Eventually it'd just be normal to see perfected versions of films. As cultural norms change the work can be tailored or lampooned to stay relevant and valuable.
"But you have to experience this exactly as the Director intended!"
No, I fuckin don't.
I want to see how hard directors start working when they realize some sockfucker will do it better for free in ten years
Sockfucker
Stolen 🤣🤘🏽
I want in on this parallel timeline.
I want to see all the DC movies without Warnwr Brothers influence.
That would include an entirely new cast
In reality they're scared of some custom spins damaging the brand.
For example: Star Wars OT has been released so many times with different cuts that there are fan edits that pull scenes from all of them and discard the trash ones to make a superior movie.
These are now recommended by fans as canon for new viewers, instead of any particular Lucas release.
Recommend me some
As well as the Despecialized Editions, there's the Custom Special Editions
https://ifdb.fanedit.org/star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope-custom-special-edition/
Which blend Despecialized and SE for the classic film with improved graphics and remastered colour, with bad CGI and added scenes removed. However some added scenes that fit the original narrative are retained for context.
Do you think we will we ever see darth jar jar?
No disrespect for the despecialized and other awesome work out there but 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83 are 100% the way to go.
I wish George could just accept that he is bad at editing. It's been the bane of SW since the beginning.
Copyright law is nobly protecting us from MAGA LotR 🤣
"... build a wall around Mordor and make Sauron pay for it..."
"Make Middle-earth Great Again"
"Thin Gondorian Line"
I dunno about that. It's always easier to iterate on or 'improve' existing work. Creating it from scratch and having it be good is the hardest part. I think most creative people would be unhappy about that arrangement.
Not to mention that if you ask 3 people how to improve something you'll get 4 different answers. And I really don't have the time to watch 32 different versions of Aliens to figure out which one I like best.
And those 3 fan editors come up with 3 wildly different end results off the same video.
It is absolutely nuts, and they are fantastic.

Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist (Solo) is fantastic. Terminator Enhanced Edition cleans up the VFX impressively.
Whether you get one bit of pure gold in 10000 or not, that one bit of gold is worth it.
I kinda love how many "unnecessary" scenes are in the hobbit films, which allowed a fan-made cut of all of them into one film and made it leagues better.
The Tolkien edit? Yeah it was good, that's what I was thinking of when I came up with this idea
And it doesn't have to take away from company profits, in fact it can add much MORE profit. Just make it so that all the individual uncut raw reels are freely available, but reassembled movies can only be uploaded and shown on the company's streaming service. This'll create a huge increase in viewer demand for the company's properties, with basically zero cost to the owners.
I want to see the 4 hour cuts of every Dune movie Denis Villenueve makes.
That would be awesome. Supposedly there was a director's cut of Event Horizon that the studio redid because it was to brutal and they lost the original footage.
I would watch the shit out of that
I'm proud to say that as a Grown Ass Man™, I would be watching that wrapped in a blanket through a slit between my fingers...
No remix culture for movies is just dumb.
He apparently did this a lot. There was 16 hours of voice lines for the genie in Aladdin that couldn't be used, mostly because they were dirty jokes.
Batty from Fern Gully is no exception, and the sound guys can't stop laughing while the director keeps cutting in to remind him to rein it in. Again. And again. And again. 🤣
His first Spore creature was a penis. Great watch.
That's not surprising. Have you ever seen him do stand-up or be interviewed? The dude was a maniac full of non-stop energy.
Fuck it.
Release all four of them. I'd watch every single one and gladly pay.
Any new Robin Williams content is good Robin Williams content.
inb4 the new AI generated Robin Williams standup special
Wow. I… I’m speechless. That was… amazing!

Scary Mary will always be my favorite of these
Are we doing recut horror trailers? https://youtu.be/eT51brwMvNQ?si=2mJXr3ByjM_sBJ-w
I always like Forest Gump.
Back when Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg used to do Comic Relief together every year, there was a year where the other two made a bet with Robin Williams that he had to give some large sum, $5000 or something, to Comic Relief every time he grabbed his dick.
He donated a lot of money.
Not surprising honestly - a blue comedian with a cadence that rivals most coke heads is GOING to let fly
He didn't just rival the coke heads. Practically ran for president.
The first time I saw Robin Williams stand up was wild. Went from Genie in Aladdin to dropping f bombs at 50Hz.
Which is surprising, because in North America they use 60Hz.
That's over 16% more f-bombs.
I need to see the uncensored drive by fruiting!
