Weird! Maybe he chickened out and didn't include it, because the interview I read with Lynch in last Friday's Boston Phoenix says that the version in release now is the exact same as the version shown at Cannes, except that there was some smoke and flames added to ONE SECOND of film. > >wasn't the x-rating reduced by cutting a bit from dafoe's final > >'accident'? or was it that they steamed up the lens during some sex > >scenes? Given what Lynch said about the smoke/flames, I would guess it was Dafoe's losing his head scene... +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
