[QUOTE=Roderick Usher;579220]I really liked the theatrical version, but didn't enjoy the director's cut. I actually found the editing to be the right call. The confusion created by the time-loop scenario is part of the beauty of it all.

Hmmm. I agree that most of the scenes added back in for the directors cut weren't necessary with one glaring exception, the scene with the argument between Donnie and Gretchen. When I first saw the theatrical version of this, I couldn't understand why he acts so weird about her showing up at his house during the Halloween party. It just seemed really disjointed to me. Then when I saw the director's cut, it finally made sense. I also missed the longer conversation with Drew Barrymore's character when she's leaving.
I was really glad, after watching all the cut scene stuff, to see that they took out all the scenes that really explain what the intent was and left it more up to taking it as you decided. That's one of my favorite parts about this film and the director's cut has those scenes removed, as well.
