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

Me and my friend watched the same movie remotely. They were watching "into the wild", I was watching "No county for old men". I understood I was on the wrong one when they commented about the great soundtrack, since the second one has no music ;D definitely after thee first quarter, probably after half. By chance they were talking about the van in the scene where there's a van smuggling drugs so I did not notice

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.

It took me a good fifteen minutes to realize Grand Moff Tarkin wasn't in the Universal version of the Mummy.

wtf the music and colors and photography made that movie. a real hero is a fantastic track.

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

[–] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Second..trilogy? Do you mean the hobbit movies?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] YodaDaCoda@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am so glad the book is good, because that is what I am reading once I finish Project Hail Mary.

[–] YodaDaCoda@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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).

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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:

The Janice Long Radio cut

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

I don't think I have, but someone has to have watched a different Spiderman than they intended.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

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

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

Watched „Children of men“ expecting a good movie.

Turns out it’s some religious hate bs story.

Was really disappointed because the quality of the actors and the whole technical setup made the impression of a „could be good“-movie
