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

When I was a kid, I downloaded Grand Theft Auto from g'nutella (kazzah). To avoid fakes, I usually downloaded the biggest version.

Well the reason this one was bigger than the rest was because there was a video file buried somewhere in the game's directory structure. The video was Debbie Does Dallas, the next generation.

Besides that one time I pressed 'play' before 'eject' on the VCR and stumbled on my Dad's porn, that was the first time I watched porn. And I watched it a lot. It taught me that promiscuous sex in college stairwells is normal and that most college women dont wear panties under thier short skirts.

Its one of the reasons I strongly believe that we need to teach kids about consent and sexual norms at a very young age. Otherwise they learn fucked up things from pornos.

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.

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..."

[-] Tenkard@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago

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

[-] Atlas_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day 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.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 133 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Kimjongtooill@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I had something similar with a download of Eraserhead. The audio was corrupted, the best way I could describe it is running water with a ton of reverb slightly chopped. I thought it was an interesting choice and the ambience definitely matched the black and white industrial atmosphere. 30 minutes in, I realized it was a bad copy when someone finally spoke.

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.

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

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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
[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Spezi@feddit.org 6 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago
[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 18 hours ago

Wow, That is one of the biggest insults to the show I can think of

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Scrubs was absolutely ruined because of this.

The time I spent putting the broadcast audio onto the streaming/dvd/Blu-ray releases to make them watchable was significant.

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 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours 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.

[-] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

what's the point if he can't teleport through a hell dimension

[-] Mathprogrammer1@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

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

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Just don't confuse Arrival with The Arrival, a 1996 turdburger with Charlie Sheen.

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 94 points 1 day ago

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

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.

[-] Lycist@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago

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."

[-] CanadianBeetroot@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

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.

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

[-] giuseppe@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah same for me! I think I realized when it got sexual

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.

[-] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

I thought you were talking about this movie

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(2004_film)

I watched District 9 without subtitles.

[-] yannic@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I did the same with The Wolverine. I thought the non-subtitled Japanese parts were an impressive artistic choice. I didn't need to know what they were saying thanks to tge acting and other context clues.

It wasn't until a couple of lengthy flashbacks that I started to suspect something wasn't right.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Any necessary subs should be hard coded.

[-] Ostrakon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 3 points 23 hours ago

Or if you happen to understand the language in question too (not quite relevant to District 9, but for human languages).

I watched the last two harry potter parts in the wrong order, I was really confused why hogwarts suddenly looked like that.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 15 hours ago

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 14 hours ago

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

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

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 13 hours ago

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 12 hours ago

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 10 hours ago

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 9 hours 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.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

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.

[-] Bookmeat@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

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.
