    also having just rewatched Kingdom of Heaven (pictured) this week, the message of that movie is not “yeah you should definitely go on crusade”.

    I didn't really like Kingdom of Heaven (2005) but years ago I heard @crobertcargill.bsky.social (firmly) assert that the director's cut was a considerably better film. So I watched it and guess freaking what.

    Watching Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut) a movie about an uneasy truce in the middle east being broken by a power hungry moron who is repeatedly advised exactly how his foolishness will play out. Glad we've learned a few things in the past 900 years.

    When 54 came out it was a fine film—good, but swallowed up and eclipsed by the sheer quality of other 90s indie gems like BOOGIE NIGHTS. The 2015 director's cut, however, is a work of genius. Like KINGDOM OF HEAVEN director's cut good. Snap this up before it's gone.

    The director's cut of Dark City, which removes the opening voiceover by Kiefer Sutherland (among other opening edits, particularly) is a strong improvement. Also, I think, the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven improves the movie immensely. But as John notes, its not frequently so.

    I'll actually go with a slightly hot take - Kingdom of Heaven. Not because it's a particularly accurate period piece and far from a perfect film, but the setting feels quite *alive*. The production design (Morroco interiors are sick) and most of the costumes, for example, are incredible.

    By accident I came across a 3-hour movie called the Kingdom of Heaven by director Ridley Scott. Timely. It's about the Crusades in the 1100s. The parallels with the present are uncanny, including the characters. A thousand years later & we're right where we began. The insanity & futility never end.
