The film is largely the same, running only 6 minutes longer than the original cut. The added scenes are interesting – additional dialogue with the counsellor in the opening, a few extra dialogue sequences between Pitt and Jolie before they learn each others identities, and a handful of alternate takes for certain sequences. Perhaps the most notable – and most controversial – is the extended love scene halfway through the film. The scene is very steamy, but those expecting excessive raunch or skin from the gorgeous stars will be disappointed. This is a love scene, not a sex scene, and there is only the tiniest hint of skin from both actors, with Pitt (or Pitt’s body double, as the shot in question is from the neck down) showing the most. And far the the SPECIAL FEATURES go, the disc is very careful not to double-dip. It includes: (1) Deleted Scenes, including an alternate ending. None of the deleted scenes are repeated from the original reelase, and many are well worth a watch. (2) A feature-length commentary from director Doug Limon that, while informative, offers little insight not mentioned in the original release’s commentaries. (3) Doug’s Film School. This section is essentially a breakdown of abandonded concept and sequences that never made it on film. Of note is a lengthy alternate version of the Desert sequence, located at a snowy mountaintop and ending in a hand-to-hand battle between a masked Pitt and Jolie, as well as several animatics for various sequnces throughout the films. Also of note is the inclusion of the deleted “villain” sequences mentioned of the commentary of the first release’s commentary. (4)Confidential Files. This is actually where the deleted scenes are located. Also included in the “file” is a 4-minute gag reel, and a hidden Easter Egg (another deleted scene). (5) Behind the scenes documentary. This 30-minutes featurette offers more insight than that of the original release, as well as a significat amount of B-Roll footage from several of the film’s major set piees, including the in-house battle and the desert scene. (6) Photo Gallery. 2 dull on-screen scroll-through photo galleries. While this reelase has met with much criticism, those who enjoyed the movie should be informed that this is one of the rare double-dips that doesn’t FEEL like a double-dip. No features are repeated from the original release, and the unrated movie itself is different enough from the theatrical version that it is well worth owning both versions. Also, the picture is much clearer and less grainy, and the sound more crisp. The disc also includes a DVD insert, with random facts about the film anda Chapter List (36 Chapters). Grade: B+ 75 of 81 people found the following review helpful. Basically, the unrated disc is a waste of money. For one, “unrated” only refers to less than a minute of previously cut footage from the big love scene. But for some reason, the people who cut this version of the movie actually cut OUT scenes from the original DVD — scenes that actually added to the plot, whereas none of the restored scenes do. This is quite aggravating. In addition, none of the extras make this DVD worth owning. They should have made this cut of the movie available on the original DVD release instead of giving it its own release. This was an obvious ploy to make more money, and I’m quite sorry that I fell for it. Here’s hoping my review keeps you from doing the same. 33 of 36 people found the following review helpful. Some of the dialogue has changed and some scenes are extended. The Bogota Dirty Dance scene has been extended, as was the War of the Roses fight and love scenes. The Dance of Death towards the end is also slightly different. Also different was the hidden lives of both Smiths weren’t revealed until much later in the movie. I truly enjoyed the original cut, but this cut cleared up some minor foibles I had w/ the first. Adam Brody’s scene was cut out of the beginning, which I thought worked better for the movie because in the original his introduction went nowhere, other than his reappearance toward the end. There appeared to be a lot more character development in this version as well. Of course more Bogota scenes are dreamily sexy as was the love scene after their big marital spat. If you’re a huge Mr. & Mrs. Smith fan, I would recommend buying both the theatrical release and the Director’s Cut. If you don’t want to buy both, I think the Director’s cut is actually better than the original. The only part I wish was that Brad & Angie to do some of the commentary. The commentary on this disk wasn’t as interesting as the Original Version dvd, because Doug Liman is constantly talking about the cost of the production which is kind of boring, I would have liked hearing more about the plot, tidbits about the sets, bloopers, more on why some scene got added or removed—anything but the cost and days of production. As far as the Bonus disc, there are plenty of deleted scenes to enjoy. I would highly recommend getting this edition.
Invitation Wording and Etiquette So you’ve ultimately picked out the perfective wedding invitation design and now you need to figure out how to make it sound like perfection too? Well don’t stress, because this innovative wedding invitation wording guide will aid you out with that part. Wording Your Invitation Wedding invitation wording may be broken up into two parts. The beginning few lines that announce that a marriage is taking place and that an individual is inviting you to this marriage is portion one. The rest of the logistical info is part two. Part two is easy. Remember the 5 W’s from elementary school – who, what, why, when, and where? If percentage two of your wedding invitation may answer these five basic questions you are beauteous much good to go. As long as you mention times, places, whether or not there will be a reception, and other key selective information you will be fine. Some persons like to long-hand the numbers and times in this section, but it’s not necessary. A more formal or established invitation design will probably look better with long-hand numbers, whereas a progressed invitation design will in all likelihood look better with regular numbers. It’s in truth your preference. If you do long-hand the numbers, keep in mind that 33 is written as “thirty-three” with a dash included, not “thirty three”. Years are written without dashes (e.g. two thousand and twelve). Now onto Part 1 – wording those basi few lines of your wedding invitations. This may seem like a daunting or painful task, but it’s genuinely finelooking straight forward. These few lines basically just announce who is inviting you to the wedding. Usually this percentage of the wording is based around who is hosting (or paying for) the wedding, but you don’t have to follow this tradition if you don’t want to. It’s your wedding invitation, so feel free to get originative and make it your own. The following sections describe a few dissimilar ways to word this share – traditional, modern, and freestyle. Traditional: Mention the parents Traditionally, whoever is paying for or hosting the wedding is noted on these firstborn few lines and subsequently “asks” the guests to attend in galore sort of refined and tasteful fashion. This is unquestionably not required in today’s progressed wedding environment, however, you will in all probability want to have a discussion with regards to it with your parents or in-laws so that there are no injure sensations over whether or not they were mentioned. Parents of the bride or groom hosting: Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Jane Smith to Bradley Johnson… Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson request the honor of your presence at the marriage of Jane Smith to Bradley Johnson… Parents and Families hosting: The parents and families of Jane Smith and Bradley Johnson invite you to attend a wedding on… Modern: Don’t mention anyone, or mention everyone. If the bride and groom are paying for or hosting the wedding themselves, the wording may commence with something like “Celebrate the marriage of.. “, “You are cordially invited to attend the marriage of”, “Join us in celebrating our marriage”, or something along those lines. Some couples choose to mention their families as well which is another option. An example of this type of wording would be “Together with their families…”. Bride and groom hosting – 1: The pleasure of your company is requested as Jane Smith and Bradley Johnson join together in marriage… Bride and groom hosting – 2: We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the joyous occasion of our marriage Jane Smith and Bradley Johnson… Bride and groom and families hosting: Together with their families Jane Smith and Bradley Johnson invite you to celebrate the union of their marriage… Freestyle: Just do it notwithstanding you want! This one is finelooking self explanatory. Forget the rules, forget who’s hosting and just go wild with whatsoever floats your boat. The trick is to make sure you don’t go too crazy and not leave sufficient room for the super necessary details like time and place. Remember that this is an invitation, so as long as you get the point all over that there is an event happening at a sure place and time and we want you to attend, feel free to get originative after that. Freestyle example: We would like the warmth of our family and friends to warm our hearts for the duration of the ceremony of our marriage John Dawlings and Kate Spryer Intro Wording Variations Request your presence… Your presence is requested… Request the pleasure of your company… You are invited to celebrate the marriage of… Celebrate the marriage of… Join us to celebrate the marriage of… Request the honor of your presence… The honor of your presence is requested… Join us for a celebration in honor of… For more outstanding examples of wedding invitation wording, visit Modern Girl Invitations
