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...

. 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 movie Hush, a horror movie about a deaf woman, on mute without knowing until after it was over. I thought it was a really creative artistic choice

I had a similar thing happen to me with Dark City. It took me 30 minutes to realize that the contrast on my TV was turned all the way down and that in fact, you were supposed to see something that wasn't just really, really dark.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

That's one of my favorite horror flicks. Release the mute cut!

I spent longer than I care to admit waiting for David Bowie to show up in Pan's Labyrinth, does that count?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

waiting for ~~David Bowie~~ to show up

david's bowie

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I'm waiting for David to show up in most media I watch. He tends to refuse, though.

I watched the first half of "Nightcrawler" before I questioned why Jake Gyllenhaal didn't have a German accent and the X-Men where nowhere in sight.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You should go ahead and watch the second half. It's a good movie.

How is no one mentioning why there are two versions of a movie only differing in soundtrack..? Seems bizarre to me

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

A lot of TV shows had their music replaced when they went to streaming because of song licensing crap, so it wasn't super surprising that it happened to a movie too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

NBC and owners of scrubs were the worst for it. Scrubs had an iconic soundtrack that picked songs for the exact mood of the story, but then licenses expired and they just chose cheaper songs. I don't care how much it costs, when "I will try to fix you" comes on I immediately start tearing up.

Edit: Found this - https://www.reddit.com/r/Scrubs/comments/2lmf7h/ive_made_a_list_of_dvdnetflix_song_differences/

So many in there that are obvious just cheap replacements. This one made me legit angry:

  • My Ocardial Infarction (S4E13) - end scene; JD takes a deep breath as per Elliot's advice, and handles trainwreck patient very well
    • DVD song: "All Kinds of Time" by Fountains of Wayne
    • Netflix song: Unknown instrumental
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is why I have it pirated, as you say the soundtrack is a huge part of that show, just rewatched it again recently and I don't even want to know what the streaming version is like.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

„American Girl“ when Elliot hooked up with JD was substituted by some royalty free salsa music. Just to give you a taste of it.

It would absolutely be surprising if you've never heard of that, which I hadn't.

I watched 90% of a movie with "narration" turned on, and thought that "this movie is really fucking annoying. Yes, I see that the actor just did that, you don't need to tell me."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I never thought it happened to anyone else! Happened to me in Montreal few years ago.

Went to the Bell centre to watch the Habs, get drunk, and then back at the hotel, Apollo 13 was on tv. Classic Tom hanks movie so I had to watch the Whole thing.

It had narration mode turned on…. In French. The most confusing movie I’ve ever watched. And I’ve seen Apollo 13 a dozen times.

Crash. In high school my buddy brought out all the weird horror and b-movies he could find, including crash, a movie about people who get busy after dangerous or injurious automobile incidents. Cut to a few years later, when my friend's parents are telling me a how they thought crash was so powerful and everyone should see it, and how it was nominated for a bunch of oscars, I was completely perplexed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Crash is a 1996 Canadian erotic thriller film[5] written, produced and directed by David Cronenberg, based on J. G. Ballard's 1973 novel of the same name. Starring James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Elias Koteas, Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette, it follows a film producer who, after surviving a car crash, becomes involved with a group of symphorophiliacs who are aroused by car crashes and tries to rekindle his sexual relationship with his wife.

A group of strangers in Los Angeles grapple with issues of race, class, family and gender in the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks in New York.

The fact that caught ny eye is that the 1996 movie gas the score by Howard Shore.

I watched District 9 without subtitles.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Any necessary subs should be hard coded.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, it's better to have them decoupled. For example, let's say you're trying to watch The Godfather in French, you wouldn't want the scenes in Italy to have hardcoded English subs.

This happened to me with The Godfather in the Italy scenes.

I stumbled on a Harry Potter book that was leaked early. Read the entire thing, several hundred pages.

The actual book came out and it was completely different. I had read a fan-fiction.

Could never get back into the series as I had a ton of false memories from that book.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Was it the “leaked” version of the Half Blood Prince? If so, a girl I was interested in sent that to me saying that her aunts friend worked for the publisher and I couldn’t show anyone or else they’d all go to jail. I was in high school so of course my mom was suspicious when I was spending hours reading something on the computer, so she made me tell her what it was, and I remember crying and begging her not to tell anyone that this girl I wanted to bang had sent it to me haha

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes! That was it. Didn't even get me laid.

Thanks for confirming that it wasn't just a bad dream though! Do you still have your copy?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Just searched my email and found the 659 page pdf! Turns out it was actually the Deathly Hallows, it’s funny how things from 2007 are so hazy.

Edit: if you’re interested: https://send.vis.ee/download/27db692ca15bba86/#ar2iQDj3vvrB1yfjvXm1DQ

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Wow I wish I had enough passion to write 659 pages of anything! I'm glad you've archived this important piece of history.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

If you can please look if its archived already and if not upload it to archive.org
Assuming it has no copyright/license it should be alright.

There's also the Nicolas Cage classic The Wicker Man. A version exists without his "Not the bees!" scene and let me tell you, that's a disappointment.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

The original is a stone cold classic. The remake, not so much.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Listening to the real soundtrack now, I'm so disappointed that my first watch was with... that version

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

I accidentally watched A Quiet Place with the sound off. It wasn't until the waterfall scene about 45m in that I realized something was wrong.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I watched full metal jacket waiting to see the boats and the crazy dude by the cave . Tunes out that was apocalipae now..

Me and my friend watched about 80% of some strange back to the future animated movie, after spending a week in Amsterdam. Then it suddenly clicked, we had been watching all the cut scenes from there back to the future video game, put together as a movie.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

@reef We got about 50 or 55 minutes into "The Girl on the Train" before we realized it was weird Emily Blunt hadn't shown up yet. And all the actors were Indian.

That was when we learned there was a Hindi-language remake.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wait rescored... Like without "Real Human Being?"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

It's Real Human Bean in this version.

I confused Arrival with Annihilation. Both are good movies but I was wondering why I didn't see any linguists

I tried watching some armageddon type movie (not the Armageddon movie) and was quite a ways in until I realized it was some Christian knockoff.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I watched an hour of the fake interviews on the Blair witch project when it first came out thinking that was the movie, was not impressed

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

That's a bummer. It's like watching Legend without the Tangerine Dream soundtrack, much as I adore the compositions of Jerry Goldsmith. Doesn't help that there's 4 or so versions, including Ridley Scott's overly self indulgent director's cut at nearly 2 hours.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Watched the boys season 2?

TitleWhere Kimiko meets her brother

Having a full conversation in thier language and no subtitles. "Ok. We are not meant to know they are saying because mystery/suspence". Untill they started crying. "Ok. Lets go back now..."

Ah, the joy of sitting through about 45 minutes of 28 Days, before realising I'd downloaded the wrong movie when the zombies failed to show up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

The chvrches song for that is a banger. The rest didn't grab me though, I've also only listened to the soundtrack not the rescore film itself

[–] Reverendender 5 points 1 month ago

Ok, I am super curious, because I don't know what version I have seen, or how to identify the other version!
