cyangames	Ended up spending today sewing and gymming away, hopefully get a good run on it on Sunday though! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
Sun, 09 Oct 2022, 08:07
rockford	OK. I'm done with my entry. Vid on YouTube and instructions to build the diorama are now available. View on YouTube
Sun, 09 Oct 2022, 08:54
Jayenkai	Mum says "Oooooooohhh!!!"
Sun, 09 Oct 2022, 09:35
rockford	Is that a good "Oooooooohhh!!!" or a bad "Oooooooohhh!!!" ?
Sun, 09 Oct 2022, 11:15
Jayenkai	Definitely a good ooooh! Also, I still haven't watched the film yet. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 09 Oct 2022, 13:18
rockford	No rush. Hopefully you'll regret not watching sooner, but like I said, I hated it the first time I watched it. But I went in without ANY knowledge of what to expect. Other than a horror film...
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 09:10
Jayenkai	Sonovabitch... LSoH is now Free on Amazon Prime. Serves me right for still not having watched it yet. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 10:21
rockford	LOL. Tough Titty (LSoH reference ) Yeah, been there, done that myself. It's a bugger.
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 12:09
AndyH	Which version is this, the original?
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 13:34
Jayenkai	shrugs No idea. Can't find any information.. Rockford!? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 13:49
rockford	The runtime there is stated as 1hr 34mins - the Director's Cut is 1hr 43mins IIRC. Soooooo, that looks like it could be the theatrical version. Possibly.
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 14:02
cyangames	I've had some news from people regarding flap happy which sadly will result in me bowing out from this months Mind poke, will try to fit in one way or another though. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 14:13
Jayenkai	Aw, that's a shame. I think. Maybe.. Sounds exciting! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 14:16
cyangames	It's a bit cray cray in good way! But it means I need to make some changes to code potentially. Will PM you details when it's closer to time. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
Wed, 12 Oct 2022, 16:15
Jayenkai	Watched LSoH, finally. Good film! Will watch the director's cut some other time. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 13 Oct 2022, 02:02
rockford	It's exactly the same all the way through - it's just the last 20-25 minutes that differs. Glad you liked it
Thu, 13 Oct 2022, 02:16
Jayenkai	Couldn't sleep last night so watched the theatrical release a second time with the commentary track by Frank Oz. He pretty much gave away what I expect will be in the Director's Cut spoilers, Frank!!!!! Maybe I'll watch that tonight, but ... who knows! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Thu, 13 Oct 2022, 03:30
rockford	That's a bugger, but hopefully it won't ruin your enjoyment of the difference between the two.
Sat, 15 Oct 2022, 15:55
Jayenkai	Ok, watched it. Was expecting the storyline ending how it did. Wasn't then expecting a whole lot of extra scenes, all of which got chopped out entirely! Crikey!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 16 Oct 2022, 02:47
rockford	Yeah, it's... different. Very.
Sun, 16 Oct 2022, 02:53
Jayenkai	I watched a couple of the extras, last night. One was black and white footage of all the deleted stuff, with Frank commentating over it. I think it's from the 10th anniversary release, so they hadn't recreated the Director's Cut yet.. no added sound effects, and much reduced in quality. Seeing that in comparison to the work they must've done to do the "final" directors cut is quite interesting, but also, the amount of stuff simply chopped is remarkable. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 16 Oct 2022, 05:53
rockford	TBH I think the DC version is very choppy and goes on far too long. It's pretty obvious what would happen next - they're really ramming it home and then some. I loved the simplicity of the threatrical version, but with the massive twist hint at what is going to happen in the near future.
