Rebel Moon the director's cut Zack
0:05
Snider's director's cut I saw both
0:09
movies both director's cuts of Rebel
0:14
theater at a special event which I
0:17
purchased a ticket for where Zack Snider
0:20
was in attendance um we have an
0:22
interview for the members only it's a
0:25
full onehour Q&A after um on for our
0:29
Members Only I filmed the whole thing it
0:32
was they did this thing they showed
0:34
first D the part one director's cut
0:37
which is over three hours by the way
0:40
there was a reception in the middle then
0:43
they showed part two director's cut then
0:46
uh Zack Snyder did a Q&A it was an all
0:49
day event I was there from 1 in the
0:51
afternoon till like 910 at night it was
0:55
crazy crazy event but here it is I'll
0:58
show the video here of uh from
1:02
that but it was really um I when I
1:05
bought the ticket I didn't know I did
1:08
not know that it was going to be um that
1:12
it was going to be a whole event but
1:14
let's take a look here real
1:19
as before we go into this discussion I
1:24
have these three hats sorry I found in
1:26
my office they're the hats I made for uh
1:30
the crew uh for me anyway the why of it
1:34
is that the that there is this Universal
1:36
sort of truth that you know and and abs
1:40
and well said through all the heavy
1:41
metal Insanity you know you can you can
1:44
with some sort of laser focus find this
1:47
kind of burning Ember at the heart of it
1:50
and and you can warm your hands um um
1:54
that righteousness if you are of the
1:56
correct iron metal uh that you can get
2:00
to it and I think that that that's
2:01
really what you know I think all the
2:03
great myth all the Joseph campbellan
2:06
kind of Heroes Journeys and you can talk
2:08
about it forever but that really at its
2:10
core is what it's all about is so you
2:13
can watch the whole you can watch the
2:15
whole thing on I was say is he Kamala
2:17
Harris's speech writer by the way you
2:20
can watch the whole thing and the
2:21
members only section there's a lot we
2:23
post videos there every week um I
2:26
thought it was interesting I'll say this
2:28
the director's cuts are better
2:30
they are they're what I'm saying is the
2:34
movie as I saw the first versions those
2:37
are for kids those are like a three and
2:41
the the director's cuts are like a four
2:43
or maybe a four and a half but here's
2:45
how they are better and what the
2:47
differences are to to be to real quick
2:53
R-rated the when when they use laser
2:56
blasters people's heads get blown up
2:59
bodies uh uh dissipate in Blood and Guts
3:04
partial people's heads get blown away it
3:07
really is inspired by the violence of
3:10
heavy metal there is also full frontal
3:14
nudity yes I thought that and I'm I'm
3:17
surprised to even hear myself say this a
3:20
lot of the nudity I thought was
3:23
unnecessary what exactly it was unne
3:27
like it's it's a very first scene of
3:30
one uh the the lead you know antagonist
3:34
is Conquering a world and in so doing
3:37
they round up women which they strip
3:40
naked and then they um they uh like they
3:45
br them they brand they brand them on
3:47
their breasts it's a ater upper chest
3:52
not a not upper chest okay yeah but
3:54
attakus Noble is the character he's
3:56
actually a very good villain and there
3:58
are more scenes with him I thought it
4:00
really it really did expand on the
4:02
characters more but it's a mixed bag
4:05
it's like heavy metal but they're
4:07
wearing ties it's like it just it was
4:10
like a lot of things that didn't go
4:12
together and the opening scene of part
4:14
one which I think is a way better
4:16
opening there's no paragraph there's no
4:18
robot telling you what's going on it's
4:21
just they land on a planet they they've
4:23
conquered the planet and they are going
4:25
after the leader of that planet and
4:27
killing his family it's really hardcore
4:30
but all the scenes are dragged on too
4:33
long it's like a rough assembly you
4:36
could have taken the opening 10 15
4:38
minutes and cut it down to five minutes
4:41
with all the relevant info that you
4:43
actually needed so while it is improved
4:47
and for adults it is way too long-
4:50
winded in a way where it it actually
4:54
hurts it more but I'll say that this the
4:56
expansions of the characters I liked
4:59
better better I liked what I liked about
5:02
it was the heavy metal stuff but my God
5:05
it's a movie I I actually think that
5:08
Zack Snider is a decent director when
5:12
he's working with IP that is already
5:15
widely known like Watchman or
5:19
Superman and he has other creatives
5:22
involved meaning a strong
5:25
Editor to take like Dawn of the Dead or
5:28
whatever and make it into something
5:32
so I I really thought I was going in
5:34
like oh man this is going to be really
5:37
disappointing and I actually found stuff
5:39
to like but there were I'll just say
5:42
this to put it mildly there were a lot
5:45
of opportunities to go to the bathroom
5:48
so I always look when I'm when I'm
5:49
watching a film I'm like when can I go
5:51
to the bathroom this seems like a boring
5:53
scene I don't need this info I'll just
5:56
go to the bathroom there were so many
5:59
chances for me to relieve myself during
6:03
it but um in the end there there I it
6:07
won't be really good if a fan could cut
6:10
the nearly six hours of this into one
6:14
three-hour movie that's tightly edited I
6:17
actually think it would not be terrible
6:20
the film is uh a need of a real editor
6:24
was no reason for this this director's
6:27
cut and and that's what I have to say
6:31
so yeah I I started watching the first
6:34
EP or the first part and uh and once
6:38
Sophia patella had sex uh I was like
6:41
okay I I got what I needed out of the
6:42
show right right but even even that
6:45
scene the sex scenes dragged on it was
6:48
like okay usually get I almost feel like
6:50
for sci-fi give me suggested nudity give
6:55
me Ornella MTI princess Aura in Flash it
6:59
was suggested you never saw anything but
7:02
damn she was sexy other sci-fi films
7:05
have had sexy but you don't need actual
7:09
scenes with her naked having sex and she
7:11
gets on top of them takes her top off
7:14
you see her breasts I thought it was it
7:16
went too far for me and I like that
7:18
stuff so apparently uh I I mean
7:22
apparently I like it more than you did
7:23
uh go I dragged on sure let it drag on
7:28
fine because that just that just uh you
7:31
know puts off the rest of the movie um I
7:34
don't know I I the more I think about
7:38
all the Zack Snider films I've seen I'm
7:40
just not the biggest fan of his uh and I
7:42
think you're right I think he does much
7:44
better with other IPS but I mean this
7:47
one honestly and look uh you and I are
7:50
are different on this I'm not a fan of
7:52
the SNY cut of uh of Justice League um I
7:55
love it love it yeah definitely not a
8:00
uh and the and the other ones uh just to
8:02
me the guy feels a little self-indulgent
8:07
bit yeah it's like my my don't
8:10
stink and so you're going to have to sit
8:13
through and watch all of it watch it all
8:15
come out and um that's just how I feel
8:18
about the guy uh I you know look he
8:21
visually it's stunning I like the look
8:24
of it um this one I think he went a
8:26
little overboard on the visuals didn't
8:28
didn't quite kill for me um
8:32
I I I I do not ever look forward to
8:36
seeing a Zack Snider film but I I will
8:38
say I'm glad I went there it's like
8:40
seeing something like seeing the five
8:42
hour cut of Apocalypse Now you know so
8:46
glad I watch 100% seeing it on the big
8:50
screen would have been much better than
8:51
seeing it on on my television it
8:53
actually was better on the big screen
8:55
you could really see the the what went
8:58
into building the world world and it is
9:00
it's more inspired by heavy metal than
9:03
Star Wars when you see it on the big
9:05
screen at the same time I will never see
9:07
this movie again yeah I'm I'm I'm good
9:10
with it I'm good with it yeah one of the
9:12
big I'll say one of the biggest problems
9:13
I have with part one the of the 20
9:16
minutes I saw of it the first 20 is we
9:19
we talked about this with trap it's the
9:21
changing protagonist you know that that
9:23
first opening scene was not about the
9:25
main characters you know I start with
9:27
the main character the person you it set
9:30
the opening of part one director's cut
9:32
set up the story better with the
9:34
introduction of the villain I thought it
9:36
was better it was way dragged out yeah
9:39
that scene that scene could have been
9:41
half as long and more impactful yeah but
9:44
the thing is I I understood that about
9:46
the villain in in the original right
9:49
you're just showing that he's he's uh
9:51
more you know more vicious than before
9:54
and and that is more graphic than before
9:56
that's the only thing you get you you as
9:58
as an audience we understand yeah this
10:00
guy's bad he's sadistic we don't like
10:02
him uh it did nothing to improve that
10:05
make him worse make him better um and
10:08
and you know that's exactly the same
10:10
thing I felt about the SNY cut of
10:11
Justice League it's like all all I felt
10:14
like he added was just nothing but
10:16
backstory and I kind of understood all
10:18
this backstory the only thing good about
10:20
uh the Justice League SNY cut was uh was
10:23
the final fight that was so much better
10:26
than than uh Jos weeden's version here
10:28
even from uh this is borbs from Paul
10:30
tassia I watched Zack Sander's Rebel
10:33
Moon director's cup part one that's
10:35
probably enough and that's how I feel
10:37
and he he basically I was gonna read
10:39
this article but he really just Echoes a
10:42
lot of the stuff that I just said like
10:44
and I I just saw the story so um we
10:48
don't need to go through it but I I I
10:50
just feel like you don't like I'm good
10:53
I'm good but um there's a better version
10:56
if you're trying to learn editing maybe
11:00
two I'm being serious yeah you could cut
11:03
an ultimate like three-hour version of
11:06
both our rated cuts it was better I like
11:09
the violence was intense and it was it
11:13
worked so um you know uh I I I think
11:18
that uh he he he achieved what he wanted
11:23
to achieve lastly one last
11:25
comment is that I saw this movie in a
11:28
the the screening sold out in 10 minutes
11:31
I saw this meaning this screening in a
11:33
room of all Snider Bros I understand
11:37
they laughed at everything they
11:39
applauded everything they were like like
11:42
they were Zealot I mean they were so
11:44
into it it made them watching it more
11:47
fun that it was like oh these people are
11:49
I I could still objectively look at it
11:51
and go you know not not for me but uh I
11:55
did the parts that uh I was surprised at
11:57
the violence and nudity and I applaud
12:00
him for that so there you go
