This is exactly what I mean nobody knows what the hell movies are "intended" to be these days with so many different versions and in many cases theatrical cuts non-existent. I think studios should put some sort of rule in place that says the original theatrical cuts of a film need to be made available regardless of how many special editions the filmmaker decides to create. When we lose theatrical cuts it all becomes a confusing mess. Watchmen is a perfect example. I love this movie but if I want to watch it on Blu Ray I have to choose between the Directors Cut or the Ultimate Cut and even if the Ultimate Cut is my preferred way to view the film I still would like to have a Blu Ray option for the theatrical cut when watching it with non-fans. The Ultimate Cut is such a beautiful set but when the word "Ultimate" is in the title the box should include all cuts of the film. Blade Runner is the only real example I have seen for truly doing this the right way with regards to theatrical vs special editions/extended editions.
