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…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5k25

. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.

I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack

    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

    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.

            I’ve definitely read it before; I don’t remember what series but it was highly probably the rebooted X-Men series (that largely became what the 90s cartoon was based on)…

            But don’t ask me about recent canon. What’s “canon” is always shaky because the series has been running forever so anything and everything has been canon and retconned at some point. To me, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are Magneto’s children, Rogue has Ms Marvel powers, and there are 151 Pokemon. I’m old.

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

      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.

        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.

      Music licensing is a nightmare. Music licensing across international borders is a ridiculous surrealist nightmare from which you can never wake; if you should ever want to enter into such endeavors find the nearest cliff and try to fly as that will be a less painful adventure more likely to find success.

    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.”

      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 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.

    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.

    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.

    I tried watching some armageddon type movie (not the Armageddon movie) and was quite a ways in until I realized it was some Christian knockoff.

    That’s a bummer. It’s like watching Legend without the Tangerine Dream soundtrack, much as I adore the compositions of Jerry Goldsmith. Doesn’t help that there’s 4 or so versions, including Ridley Scott’s overly self indulgent director’s cut at nearly 2 hours.

    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.
