Alternate endings on movies
ngon master
Spoilers for endings of butterfly effect and paranormal.
I hate them. Pick one ending, the movie should really only have one resolution. For example the butterfly effect, the directors cut ending is my favorite, goes best with the movie and theme anyways (the original theatrical one gave too much hope IMO, and too cliche, true love, etc etc) , but each ending gives off a completely different vibe and feeling to the film. Paranormal activity has had 2 endings and the dvd was released with a 3rd alternative. The main theatrical ending was the worst in my opinion, she kills the bf and goes missing the end? lame.
Oh, and why doesn't mayo come in a squeeze bottle, that really pisses me off too.

Couldn't care less about the rest, but God help me if anyone disagrees with the statement above.
But yeah, I can't stand when two different endings are considered as canon. As silly as it sounds, I always want to know the "real" version of the story.
To these days people argue whether Deckard was an android or not, and that pisses me off nearly as much as mayo in non-squezable bottle.
It wouldn't matter if Butterfly Effect had ten endings, it'd still be terrible.
Imagine Taxi Driver ending up with him in prison for multiple murder in a second cut.
Sheesh
You must live in some backwards-ass country if you don't have squeeze bottle mayo bro.
I haven't seen Paranormal Activity yet (and i guess i don't have to now) but Speilberg came up with the theatrical ending so i would have expected it to at least be ok,
i don't know what they were smoking when they came up with the theatrical ending for I am Legend, but that absolutely ruined the whole movie for me. the film was removed enough from the book to begin with but that just...fucking stupid is what it was. the "alternate/original" definatley worked better with the film, though they still got the Legend part wrong...
what i really hate are the dvd's that advertise alternate endings and don't actually end in a different way, where they just use a different one-liner or something.
Diane?
I can only imagine Mayo is like Tomato sauce in that if you get it in a glass bottle either NOTHING comes out, or you cover your entire plate and end up having a meal of vinegar...
I don't like teh mahoh...
Thank you and now were off to Thrisha Takanawa in Southcentral where a jar of mayo caused a mayor traffic jam. Trisha?
I loved the book to death and wanted to scream and throw a chair after watching the movie in theatres. -___-. What was the alternative ending? Did the human race die like they were supposed to?
Mayo is supposed to be very bad for you
There's no reason to be hostile to alternative endings in general. It gives an opportunity for people to fix mindless hollywood endings and if it ends up being worse than you can just ignore it. If you're getting stuck on an alternative ending you didn't like it's not because it's actually hindering your enjoyment; it's because you enjoy whining more than the film itself. If you learn to recognize that you'll be able to enjoy things a lot more.

I don't mind seeing multiple versions of a film. It's really funny when the alternate version is worse than the original film. If you ever saw the blair witch project 2, you should follow it up by the director's commentary, it's quite the experience. I just couldn't stop laughing...
They cut out the scene where Crispin Glover turns out to have survived.
Terminator Salvation. Never was created. But the original ending supposedly had Connor dieing and that infiltration Terminator taking his place.
That would have been sooo much better.
Not so much an alternate ending but a different cut. Rent Apocalypse Redux.
And why does mayo even exists?
"I'm gonna keep the coke and the fries but I'm gonna send this burger back. And if you put any mayonnaise on it, I'm gonna come over to your house, I'll chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door. "

The alternate ending might imply some of the point of the book better (especially one shot) - but the whole film still doesn't follow the book as closely as it should [we're talking plot elements and characters being removed, etc.]
they have been 3 movies made off the book, all with major starpower,,(not counting the rip off low budget movies that tag along with theatrical releases. and none of them have even came close to capturing the escense of the book. i understand having to change some things to make a book fit a different format, but in my opinion if a book is worthy of having a movie made, it should be worthy of having it done semi on target.
Brilliant, not to mention it's one of my favorite lazy day movies.

BLASPHEMER BURN HIM BURN HIM!!!!!
it it liek an useless tread covered in an semi usefull one?
decision fail!
with exception for old woman makeup on linda hamilton, I liked it
I'd be happy to help mayo lovers set up Kevorkian machines with eggs going in one arm, and oil in the other. To top it off we could do a Crisco enema... Or you could just wait 20 years and let it happen slowly over time.
What goes in your arteries doesn't come out. Think about that the next time you sit down with a spoon and a jar of Mayo...
Your body kill it however you wish, its going to die anyway right? =P
Haha agreed, not exactly a twist in the ending, but damn, no one wants to see that whiney prequel bitch Anakin ruin the original trilogy.
I liked this one
are you saying I don't have kidneys or something?
I am interested in pricing and availability for this. Are these farm fresh eggs or "other?" Can I opt for olive oil over vegetable? Also, can sub in an off-brand for the Crisco? I await your answers and thanks!
Kubbie, I'll start drawing up plans for models with different options. There might be a need for some kind of sodium rinse to quickly set everything in place, like quick dry cement. Do you have a preference in seasoning salts? I'll have to run some tests on the neighborhood elderly and get back to you.
