What Time is it There?

Does this need explaining? It’s Takashi Miike’s phonetic English, candy colored ode to the spaghetti westerns of yore, featuring an extended cameo by Quentin Tarantino. It’s got guns and horses and katanas, bloody kills o’ plenty, all wrapped around a very odd spin on the very British War of the Roses. It’s great fun and the Japanese editions are now available to order. Not reading Japanese myself I can’t tell you what included in the limited edition version to justify the extra cost but there are both special and regular edition versions, both of which are due in February. And this will very likely be the only place you will ever get to see the longer Japanese cut of the film as a reported twenty minutes are being removed for export.

So, the 20 mins less crap is going to apply to all international versions of the film? Or is only a R1 USA thing? And again, who decided this? Why didn’t media blasters or magnolia got this? Too many questions indeed.
Why not release the film in both the cut and un-cut version? So we the international audience can actually decide what we want to see, instead of getting this imposition.
