On an only-slightly related note, I am so glad that Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola decided, while adapting the screenplay to The Godfather, to discard that bizarre subplot in the book regarding Lucy Mancini and her oversized vagina.
I've got that somewhere waiting to be read. I hope this isn't a major spoiler.  |

| On the general issue, I agree with both of you. I like to see everything that there is of something, but I also like concision. The ideal for me would be if the Redux version never existed. Since it does (and also that I have it), I think I'll have to watch that one. |

Oh, yes. Definitely watch it. It's a different take by the filmmakers of the same story so of course it has artistic merits.
Also try and catch Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper's excellent documentary account of the filming of Apocalypse, Now.

Yep, definitely worth watching. Watch Apocalypse Now first though.  |
