Fucking FINALLY!
Sure enough, Mr. gin agreed to take a look at the Blu ray player this morning, pressed one button, and it works like a charm. *rolleyes* So I have FINALLY SEEN THE DELETED SCENES AND BLOOPERS FROM MY FAVOURITE MOVIE, FER THE LOVE OF GOD.
Some of these were awesome and should have been included in the movie, as they actually served story purpose and their removal led to some confusion (at least for me), and some of them were definitely better left out. (Just going off of memory, here...I may be forgetting one, but there weren't that many)
1. Extended ride to school - WHY WAS THIS REMOVED?! It's, like, 30 seconds long, gives Amy's poor friends some actual lines, and sets up the whole "puce" joke which is then referenced about thirty times in the next 20 minutes. It also sets up Charley as a worrywort, which Amy calls him on in the scene immediately following which never made much sense to me without, y'know, this lead-in. And Bee TOTALLY hitting on Charley?! karenor AND I SO CALLED THAT, LIKE, MONTHS AGO. :D We're so perceptive.
2. Amy & Jane talking in the kitchen and then Amy and Charley making fun of Jerry - Totally pointless. Can definitely be left out of my head canon.
3. Charley's fight with Mark at school - As much as I love Charley getting pissed off and his whole "and it's HOBBITS on the Shire! HOBBITS!", this was definitely better left out, because it made me hate Amy! WTF was she doing? And when the hell did this fall during the movie, after the whole "What are you working on?" "Porn." exchange? That makes no sense whatsoever. Can stay non-existent.
4. "What, you think I'm fucking MacGyver?" - OMG WHY COULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN LEFT IN?! 1. It's adorable, 2. It's more banter between Peter and Charley, 3. IT'S MORE DAVID TENNANT TIME, 4. IT ACTUALLY CONTAINS A MAJOR PLOT POINT, and 5. DID I MENTION IT'S MORE BANTER BETWEEN PETER AND CHARLEY?! Actually, come to think of it, it contains two major plot points: I had always wondered why Peter knew to light Charley on fire and why Charley was so very flammable (he'd doused himself in kerosene, as it turns out), and I'd always wondered why someone as knowledgeable as PV would bring a stupid shotgun to fight vampires (he brought it to buy time, but no wooden bullets because, again he's not 'fucking MacGyver'. Hee!). Can I also say how much I adore that they're SMELLING each other? I mean, I don't care how bonded over vampire slaying you are, it's a bit intimate for guys to start commenting on how they smell to each other (even if it's negative. "You reek, man." LOL).
5. Extended penthouse scene - Oh, how excited I got when I saw that the last extended scene was from the penthouse, but alas, it's not hot threeway sex between Peter, Charley and Amy, but just Charley and Amy jackassing around and chasing each other through Peter's collection. Which I totally do not buy...it seems very flippant to be mocking the whole vampire thing, considering Amy was one about, oh, 10 hours ago. I don't buy that it would be quite that AMUSING to them just yet. And this scene Needed Moar Peter. So I'm glad it was cut.
The bloopers were cute, but I'm going to need some serious brain bleach to scrub the mental image from David's going off about Peter's rashes out of my head. "It goes right up my asshole!" Oh, David. You are so fourteen years old. :)
