Im feeling really gutted for mcfly now. Yeah its spookily curious how the extended official DVD came after mcflys release. How many fans of the film would have loved announcement even before this thread got started, or even midway through it. Its almost like they are making a point of undermining our editors work now.

But what they cant reproduce is the personal passion thats put into the production of alternate and extended cuts. Or that feeling of having something so very rare sitting on your shelf that you just cant go buy anywhere, right next to your unwatched official edition of the film (or as i do mostly bung it in a multi disk case and use a costom cover for the set instead).

Still, i wont say all that all your hard work has gone to waste. The Ulysses Cut, was my first viewing of the uncut film and i relally loved it (i missed out on the reverends copy in the end - strange as i cant recall as to why now??). It would take something a bit special from the official extended DVD (the title looses the 1st battle already), to relpace my Waterworld DVDs in my collection with this. The official cover looks really good for a change yeah (but dont like the font for the title - custom covers are getting far far better than most other official covers due to the same personal passion the designers put into their work as the editors put into theirs), but, i hold edskizzorhands cover just that little bit more to my heart in this case.

I just feel like i got my extended edition already.

Urm, is that where it gets a little gray area? I own the official cut of Waterworld, and McFlys Ulysses Cut, does that now mean im required to purchace the extended edition even if i may not like something about it, just to keep my Ulysses cut now, or......urm, what?. There again i shouldnt even go there as there are some right little s*its that love the attention by trying to be a do-gooder, that jump on delemers like that.

Guess boons doing it the right way, but its a shame to see this happen.
