Again, I don't think ANY amount of extra Sandman scenes are going to help the movie. If anything, I hope there is more black suit/Venom material, perhaps some extra scenes that flesh out the conflict with Eddie Brock and anything else relating to the Peter/MJ/Gwen triangle.

The scene in the bar may be corny, but it's one of the most real moments in the film when it ends with Gwen saying "You mean all this was for HER?" and telling MJ "I'm so sorry."

As far as the American Flag scenes, I have to wonder if any of the foreign releases (i.e. outside America) have that shot. My gut tells me no, because given the current political climate, I don't think anyone outside the USA would react favorbaly to that image.

Has anyone outside the states who has seen the film remember if that shot is in the movie?
