This is true.  I remember reading the posts on Dead Poet's Society the night
it was shown and looked for her name.  She played Ginny.  Knox's crush was
on Chris (The blond).

I think there were a few more.  The scence with the principle giving out the 
extra-curricular activities was new.  The scene with the bindfolds was new too.
And the scene with the Lara.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong along with the rest of the stuff
I've stated.

This was a great movie.  I loved it.  I liked the extra minutes that they
tacked on, my question is why did they cut them?  These scenes helped the
movie flow better.  One of my few complaints about this movie is that it 
seemed to be taking on a bit much.  The extra scenes helped the movie. 
Oh well.  :)   BTW, would you see a movie that is 2 1/2 or 3 hours if it 
helped the movie?
