Watching Superman: The Movie 1978 for the first time

[ZariusTwo]

You may think it works better, but it is an actual unfinished product.

Seems pretty complete to me, and you've yet to say why you think the repeated ending taints it somewhat when I gave a perfectly valid reason as to why it didnt. Seems to me you can't come up with one.

The story makes ten times more sense in Donner's cut than it ever did in Lester's cut, regardless of the "incompleteness", which really does come down to a measly 5% difference and only annoys people who saw the first film and/or hate repetition. I don't mind it, the movie is complete, not JUST to me, but several others, but hey, you want to follow a cut of the film that has no coherance or respect for the story that came before, go right ahead.

Making a fan edit and pretending the parts of the movie you didn't like didn't happen is like pretending that an embarrassing thing you did yesterday didn't happen. You may convince yourself of a false reality, but it's all in your own head. The real event happened, and everyone else knows it.
Whether you like it or not, there is a real movie that exists, and is meaningful to people other than yourself, because it was made within the parameters which the medium sets.

What a load of pretentious bollocks

I know what really happened. That's not the point. The point is if I can change it, I'll do my darndest to see if it works with the changes. That's the whole appeal of the process, taking something and molding it into something different. It's not to replace the movie, that's impossible, but it is to provide an alternative viewing experiance.

This is a movement that you're not going to silence with a few snap judgements. It may be an underground thing, but it's been blossoming as of late, fans, aka talented members of the public that pay to watch these movies, are starting to take these products under their own consideration. It does not make them harbingers of "false realitys", it makes them creative and independent thinkers who don't accept the reality the official product has given them. There are different lenses from which to see the world, without variety, the world is a pretty boring place.

You're content to be boring and follow the pack. I do not subscribe to that notion.
