Exactly Gomer. This was a movie that changed cinema. It had an enormous effect on the industry and on a lot of people. Now GL wants to get rid of it because in his mind, it was never really completed. Tell that to everyone that worked on it and to the people whose lives were completely changed by it.
Of course, it took him 20 years to decide it was just a rough draft. Thankfully, not every director treats their original movie like it was just a rough draft (E.T. anyone?).
