Not seen it in years either. Remember it being sprawling, confusing, sentimental but also brilliant..would love to see the director's cut but am guessing its 83 hours long?
[1] I would think it makes a little more sense, but hopefully not in the way that "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" made a little more sense yet didn't actually need the extra scenes (they redubbed certain scenes with both Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in present-day voice which was quite off since they were both old, and a stand-in for Lee Van Cleef); hopefully it's restored sound footage as well. The director's cut of The Godafther Saga had restored footage that was interesting and Dances With Wolves made a helluva lot more sense. Blade Runner, eh... point is, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you never know until you see it >;)
[5] I love the directors cuts of Leon (The Professional) and Apocalypse Now (Redux), mostly because in both cases they include scenes that either expand of enhance the stories.
In Apocalypse, it's the French plantation owners talking about the "good old days." In Leon, it's the additional, uncomfortable layer of sexual tension (as well as more hit-man action)between Jean Reno and Natalie Portman

Oh, and also remember James Woods being superb (as he always is, at least off Twitter...ahem...)
Hope you're enjoying the snow. I'm glad the storm passed me by.
Good fellas on TV Monday nite. Maybe we'll be plowed out by then

[6] True, loved both of them.
