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
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🤣🤣🤣
It’s legitimately very funny, I felt really really dumb but it’s a good story
I had a similar thing happen to me with Dark City. It took me 30 minutes to realize that the contrast on my TV was turned all the way down and that in fact, you were supposed to see something that wasn’t just really, really dark.
That’s one of my favorite horror flicks. Release the mute cut!
I had something similar with a download of Eraserhead. The audio was corrupted, the best way I could describe it is running water with a ton of reverb slightly chopped. I thought it was an interesting choice and the ambience definitely matched the black and white industrial atmosphere. 30 minutes in, I realized it was a bad copy when someone finally spoke.
I spent longer than I care to admit waiting for David Bowie to show up in Pan’s Labyrinth, does that count?
waiting for
David Bowieto show updavid’s bowie
I’m waiting for David to show up in most media I watch. He tends to refuse, though.
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.
You should go ahead and watch the second half. It’s a good movie.
what’s the point if he can’t teleport through a hell dimension
Is that canon? I thought that was from the 2000s cartoon
I’ve definitely read it before; I don’t remember what series but it was highly probably the rebooted X-Men series (that largely became what the 90s cartoon was based on)…
But don’t ask me about recent canon. What’s “canon” is always shaky because the series has been running forever so anything and everything has been canon and retconned at some point. To me, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are Magneto’s children, Rogue has Ms Marvel powers, and there are 151 Pokemon. I’m old.
Hear, hear! (I’m old too)
How is no one mentioning why there are two versions of a movie only differing in soundtrack…? Seems bizarre to me
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.
NBC and owners of scrubs were the worst for it. Scrubs had an iconic soundtrack that picked songs for the exact mood of the story, but then licenses expired and they just chose cheaper songs. I don’t care how much it costs, when “I will try to fix you” comes on I immediately start tearing up.
Edit: Found this - https://www.reddit.com/r/Scrubs/comments/2lmf7h/ive_made_a_list_of_dvdnetflix_song_differences/
So many in there that are obvious just cheap replacements. This one made me legit angry:
- My Ocardial Infarction (S4E13) - end scene; JD takes a deep breath as per Elliot’s advice, and handles trainwreck patient very well
- DVD song: “All Kinds of Time” by Fountains of Wayne
- Netflix song: Unknown instrumental
This is why I have it pirated, as you say the soundtrack is a huge part of that show, just rewatched it again recently and I don’t even want to know what the streaming version is like.
„American Girl“ when Elliot hooked up with JD was substituted by some royalty free salsa music. Just to give you a taste of it.
bruh
Wow, That is one of the biggest insults to the show I can think of
- My Ocardial Infarction (S4E13) - end scene; JD takes a deep breath as per Elliot’s advice, and handles trainwreck patient very well
It would absolutely be surprising if you’ve never heard of that, which I hadn’t.
Video game re-releases too!
Scrubs was absolutely ruined because of this.
The time I spent putting the broadcast audio onto the streaming/dvd/Blu-ray releases to make them watchable was significant.
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.
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 never thought it happened to anyone else! Happened to me in Montreal few years ago.
Went to the Bell centre to watch the Habs, get drunk, and then back at the hotel, Apollo 13 was on tv. Classic Tom hanks movie so I had to watch the Whole thing.
It had narration mode turned on…. In French. The most confusing movie I’ve ever watched. And I’ve seen Apollo 13 a dozen times.
Unless you’re a baker, you should watch it one more time.
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.
Or if you happen to understand the language in question too (not quite relevant to District 9, but for human languages).
This happened to me with The Godfather in the Italy scenes.
I did the same with The Wolverine. I thought the non-subtitled Japanese parts were an impressive artistic choice. I didn’t need to know what they were saying thanks to tge acting and other context clues.
It wasn’t until a couple of lengthy flashbacks that I started to suspect something wasn’t right.
We did this to the Arrival, too.
light spoiler :::
the first subtitles are almost at the very end of the movie, so it was too late to bother. Also, most of us watched it before, but man was it a letdown.
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
Wow I wish I had enough passion to write 659 pages of anything! I’m glad you’ve archived this important piece of history.
If you can please look if its archived already and if not upload it to archive.org
Assuming it has no copyright/license it should be alright.Why would it being fan fiction mean it’s not copyrighted?
Assuming it has no copyright or license

Yeah same for me! I think I realized when it got sexual
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.
Crash is a 1996 Canadian erotic thriller film[5] written, produced and directed by David Cronenberg, based on J. G. Ballard’s 1973 novel of the same name. Starring James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Elias Koteas, Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette, it follows a film producer who, after surviving a car crash, becomes involved with a group of symphorophiliacs who are aroused by car crashes and tries to rekindle his sexual relationship with his wife.
A group of strangers in Los Angeles grapple with issues of race, class, family and gender in the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks in New York.
The fact that caught ny eye is that the 1996 movie gas the score by Howard Shore.
That’s what caught your eye? Not that it’s a 1996 film that happen to reference the “September 11 terror attacks in New York.”
I think the seperate paragraphs are meant to refer to the two moves of the name respectively.
That, or Cronenberg did 9/11.
Yup, I hoped it would be obvious. Alas
I thought you were talking about this movie
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.
Listening to the real soundtrack now, I’m so disappointed that my first watch was with… that version
I watched full metal jacket waiting to see the boats and the crazy dude by the cave . Tunes out that was apocalipae now…
That’s Noah.
I accidentally watched A Quiet Place with the sound off. It wasn’t until the waterfall scene about 45m in that I realized something was wrong.
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.
@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.
Wait rescored… Like without “Real Human Being?”
It’s Real Human Bean in this version.
And a real Hero
