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.
In reality they’re scared of some custom spins damaging the brand.
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.
It would be a bit of a crapshoot, but perhaps the intrinsic barrier to entry of doing massive amounts of unpaid video editing would filter out a lot of the less well intentioned
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
I know what I’m watching tonight, thanks!
I want to see the 4 hour cuts of every Dune movie Denis Villenueve makes.
Oh man I’d kill for an extra hour and a half of Sicario. I’d settle for another 30 minutes if it included another scene similar to the border crossing
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
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.
No remix culture for movies is just dumb.
Wow. I… I’m speechless. That was… amazing!

Scary Mary will always be my favorite of these

I always like Forest Gump.
You win.
All of these are so good. The people that made them are very talented.
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
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.
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.
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.
I wanna see the x-rated porn version
