Nothing's changed.
I just watched Butterfly Effect for the first time in my life today... even though it's been out since 2004 and everyone has raved about it. I never got to watch the ending that was shown in the theatre though, so I can only imagine from what Keith has told me. In the Director's cut, they had a different ending, they showed Evan going back to his birth, while he was still in his mummy's tummy. She's in pain because Evan is trying to strangle himself with the umbilical cord. You hear voiceovers of how she's had two or three stillbirths before Evan. And it just makes you wonder... because it's hereditary, did the babies before Evan do the same thing as he did just to avoid whatever they knew was coming. It figures, I suppose. I can see why this ending didn't make it to the cinemas. To see a baby strangle itself would be kinda odd to the non-analysing audience. Kinda gruesome, even.
There wasn't a particular purpose in typing all that out. I just felt like it. On another note, I've this presentation to prepare for. About time and non-linear narrative and all that shizz about cinema. God help me. I guess I know where I'm going with it, I just need some references to my text (which is ridiculously long).
Mom got a cute new red bicycle for her birthday. Pity I missed the whole thing. Wonder if I would choose not to come to Perth if I could do-over huh? Life is full of "what-if"s and if Butterfly Effect has shown us anything... don't fuck with it man.
So anyways... Here's my 2 cents.
Don't spend it all in a day now, you hear?
