And you'd be surprized how many people come up to me at work (I do for for Blockbuster Video) and tell me that the ending sucked. Then I point out the title to them and they think back. I could also explain to them that good screenplay connects its beginning to its ending... That was so funny!

And if you love kittens, be prepared to be shocked! Good movie, but it raises some interesting theological/moral questions:

You can look at the back of the DvD and it literally says that both running times are 1h:39m. Man, I was hoping that there wouldn't be an unrated cut at all but this is ridiculous. It could also mean that there definitely will be a special edition to ridicule this one. :OÞ Yeah, pretty much.

I suppose technically a film becomes unrated whenever any footage is added to the release version, even if it is only 6 seconds long and unobjectionable in itself. Sounds like a marketing ploy more than anything. Teenagers! Buy the DVD - it's unrated! I knew I would regret not getting to this in the theater…

The extra shot in the film takes away from the comedic aspect of the scene (the one with her cat, you know the one) and so I don't know why it jumped from PG-13 to Unrated because of 6 extra seconds. I hope, like all other Sam Raimi horror and sheer extravagant films that there will be a special edition of this film in the future, one with a commentary track that would explain why Bruce Campbell was NOT in DMTH.

Nir, have you heard whether or not this version might be followed later by a director’s / unrated cut, if such a creature even exists?
