Well Vince, it's everybody's opinion. If you feel these scenes were necessary then by all means you can wait for an extended cut should we ever see one (and I can't see one anytime soon). I believe these scenes would have slowed the movie down more - and to me, honestly, the movie felt long enough. While Anchor Bay may have had access to the other deleted scenes that are listed on IMBD.com, there must have been a reason why they weren't included. I don't think they've selectively chose to add some and not others just for the heck of it.

Regarding flagging, on my Denon DVD-3910 player and after upconverting to 720p through HDMI, I noticed no problems with artefacting.

...and relating to my aspect ratio error. Ooops, I apologize. Sorry for not picking up on the error immediately. You must realize that at this point in time I'm going through many films that studios have sent me for a Sept. 6 release. After going though many discs, sometimes the details begin to blur by the time I write. When I write reviews, I don't always have the film playing beside me and my notes and press release materials. In the case of seeing 2.35:1 in my notes and 1.85:1 in press release, I went with 1.85:1. My bad.
