It was on my list because of the soundtrack, so when I didn't hear the iconic track at all during the movie I looked it up.
Turns out that there is a re-scored version with a completely different soundtrack, and that was the version we got...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5k25
. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.
I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack
I watched the last two harry potter parts in the wrong order, I was really confused why hogwarts suddenly looked like that.
This happened to me with the second Lord of the Rings trilogy. Ffs they dont put the number in the movie titles, so its really hard to figure out the order you're supposed to watch them
Second..trilogy? Do you mean the hobbit movies?
Maybe? It was a trilogy about the dwarves and some dragon. Honeslty I dont remember it well because it was very confusing and out of order
Yeah that's The Hobbit. Terribly done movies. They took a great book that's half the size of one of the books from the LotR trilogy and stretched it into three feature-length films by adding a bunch of nonsense.
I am so glad the book is good, because that is what I am reading once I finish Project Hail Mary.
Ooh how's Project Hail Mary? It's somewhere towards the top of my list, but BrandoSando is bringing out another book in a couple weeks and I'm trying to work my way through Wheel of Time (gosh the first book is awful).
It is so good, I don't qualify myself as an avid reader, the book I read before was Dracula from Bram Stoker, and the one before it... I can't even remember lol.
But with this book I have been hooked from the beginning I think I started it last week, and I am more than half of it, for my reading habits I would say I am doing fairly well.
I am aware the Wheel of Time has a huge amount of books, so good luck with that haha.
Was over someone's house and they wanted to watch a comedy. They were like, "We both like Robin Williams. This should be a funny movie.".
Jakob the Liar It was a movie set during WW2 Holocaust at a camp. Not very many laughs.....at all.
Actually, if you look at Robin Williams repertoire of films, he does a lot of very depressing movies. Like the ratio of funny movies to depressing movies is extraordinarily lopsided.
Off the top of my head, What Dreams May Come and One Hour Photo are two wildly different types of movie, both kinda bleak in their own way, and neither what you'd turn to if you wanted a Robin Williams comedy. To some extent World's Greatest Dad as well, though that one actually is pretty funny.
Yeah, but this was like 1999 and we didn't know the wide range of talent that the man had. I saw 1 hour photo and what dreams may come later.
The behind the scenes for 1 Hour Photo has perfectly normal Robin Williams goofing off and it's just jarring going from watching the really serious and depressing movie and just seeing him on the set goofing off and making everyone around laugh
I watched "San Andreas Quake: Magnitude 10", waited for a long time wondering where is The Rock before I understood I The Asylum tricked me. Later, I saw the real movie but it was less fun than the mockbuster.
I don't think I have, but someone has to have watched a different Spiderman than they intended.

Yup. Before Drive was officially released there was a pirated "screener" copy online with a different, and in my opinion better, soundtrack. It enhanced the movie in a more effective way than what we got in the official release. Especially the elevator scene.
Watched the movie again when it officially came out and went "wait a minute, this isn't right".
Not even sure if the screener copy is still available anywhere.
There's a version of Morrissey's Irish Blood, English Heart that hit the radios before it was released, and it was waay better than what we actually got:
no weird comical sound effects, cleaner sound, the high guitar could be heard way better, and the ending riff was a harmonious one, not some eclectic free-for-all.
After years of believing I had hallucinated/mandela'd the whole thing, I finally found it:
I am not sure if this counts but my mom put on Alien for me on Hulu, and it had some weird cuts in it. Turns out I had Hulu w/ Live TV so it was probably a cable edit of the film.
I ended up giving it an 8/10 but I bet I would have rated it higher if the cuts weren't so strange. I'll need to buy it on 4K and watch it properly at some point.
Yeah for some reason Stremio glitched once and played totally the wrong movie. I can't remember what I was trying to watch, but it ended up being about some weird US-Russian war from the folks on the ISS.I
I didn't realize what was going on until 75% of the way in
Could it have been the movie version of Eon by Greg Bear? Haven't seen the movie, but sounds very similar to the book.
Side note: it took me like 6 years and a lot more reading before ran into Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke and realized that Eon was...heavily inspired by that book.
wtf the music and colors and photography made that movie. a real hero is a fantastic track.
It took me a good fifteen minutes to realize Grand Moff Tarkin wasn't in the Universal version of the Mummy.
Watched βChildren of menβ expecting a good movie.
Turns out itβs some religious hate bs story.
Was really disappointed because the quality of the actors and the whole technical setup made the impression of a βcould be goodβ-movie
