Just watched UltraViolet........yes she has an ass, it got more screen time than her face...not really sure what the movie was about though. Seemed to just be a reason to put her in tight pants and show every possible scene from behind and between her legs.


ULTRAVIOLET is a mess, which is a pity since that movie got fucking chopped up by the studio.

40+ minutes were cut out, the planned FX never finished, and FOX had a dud on its hands.

No wonder the movie makes no damn sense at all.


Sounds a lot like what happened to Alien 3. 35-40 minutes were cut out because thought the film wouldn't hold the audience's attention. Because of this, David Fincher (very good director), disowned the film.

If you ever get the chance, watch the directors cut, it's quite good. Just as good as Aliens in my opinion.


I must correct something here.

Yes, that alternative edit on the DVD boxset is MUCH BETTER than the theatrical edit...but its not a Director's Cut.

Fincher not only disowned it in the editing bay after FOX raped it, the movie was already raped by FOX's mendling during shooting, with Sigourney Weaver vetoing/demanding script changes, etc.

My point is, the "Director's Cut" doesn't exist. Thats why Fincher didn't involve himself with that DVD boxset. If he got it his way, it would only be if he go back in time, and make it with his full autuer creative powers that he has with say PANIC ROOM and ZODIAC.

Still BDuff, you're right. The alternative edit makes more logical sense, not as many annoying plot holes, etc. Still not much of a film though.

But its something compared to the mass liquid of nothingness that is ALIEN RESURRECTION.
