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…

. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.
I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack
How is no one mentioning why there are two versions of a movie only differing in soundtrack…? Seems bizarre to me
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.
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.
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 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
Oh man I can’t stop laughing🤣🤣🤣
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 watched full metal jacket waiting to see the boats and the crazy dude by the cave . Tunes out that was apocalipae now…
I spent longer than I care to admit waiting for David Bowie to show up in Pan’s Labyrinth, does that count?

David Bowieto show updavid’s bowie
I watched District 9 without subtitles.
Any necessary subs should be hard coded.
Well, it’s better to have them decoupled. For example, let’s say you’re trying to watch The Godfather in French, you wouldn’t want the scenes in Italy to have hardcoded English subs.
This happened to me with The Godfather in the Italy scenes.
Crash. In high school my buddy brought out all the weird horror and b-movies he could find, including crash, a movie about people who get busy after dangerous or injurious automobile incidents. Cut to a few years later, when my friend’s parents are telling me a how they thought crash was so powerful and everyone should see it, and how it was nominated for a bunch of oscars, I was completely perplexed.
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.
The original is a stone cold classic. The remake, not so much.
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.
Was it the “leaked” version of the Half Blood Prince? If so, a girl I was interested in sent that to me saying that her aunts friend worked for the publisher and I couldn’t show anyone or else they’d all go to jail. I was in high school so of course my mom was suspicious when I was spending hours reading something on the computer, so she made me tell her what it was, and I remember crying and begging her not to tell anyone that this girl I wanted to bang had sent it to me haha
Yes! That was it. Didn’t even get me laid.
Thanks for confirming that it wasn’t just a bad dream though! Do you still have your copy?
Just searched my email and found the 659 page pdf! Turns out it was actually the Deathly Hallows, it’s funny how things from 2007 are so hazy.
Edit: if you’re interested: https://send.vis.ee/download/27db692ca15bba86/#ar2iQDj3vvrB1yfjvXm1DQ
If you can please look if its archived already and if not upload it to archive.org
Assuming it has no copyright/licemse because it’s a fan fictiom it should be alright.Wow I wish I had enough passion to write 659 pages of anything! I’m glad you’ve archived this important piece of history.
Me and my friend watched about 80% of some strange back to the future animated movie, after spending a week in Amsterdam. Then it suddenly clicked, we had been watching all the cut scenes from there back to the future video game, put together as a movie.
Listening to the real soundtrack now, I’m so disappointed that my first watch was with… that version
Wait rescored… Like without “Real Human Being?”
It’s Real Human Bean in this version.
@reef We got about 50 or 55 minutes into “The Girl on the Train” before we realized it was weird Emily Blunt hadn’t shown up yet. And all the actors were Indian.
That was when we learned there was a Hindi-language remake.
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.
