What was I going to say?

Oh, yeah, you know, so like, we should say for the purposes of this episode, we did all watch the theatrical cut.

I had the extended on for a little bit.

And there's some interesting shit in there, I have to say.

And I only paid attention to a couple of them that are at the beginning.

So I'm not going to be stopping us throughout the evening to be like, actually.

But there's a couple of cool things that I think actually makes the story a little richer. And Cameron does a little intro for it. No clue when it was actually recorded, this audio of him. Is he the submarine at the time? Or what did we talk about it? It could have been because it does sound like shit. So I don't know what's going on with the story. He was looking at the Titanic as he recorded.

Dude, it honestly might be because it's just like terrible audio and then just really old pictures of James Cameron when he was like making the movie.

So I don't know what's going on.

Yeah, uh-huh.

Yeah, you got Jim.

Yeah, I'm on a submarine.

You're going to speak up.

I can't, I can't hear you.

No, I will not explain why I'm in a submarine, but I am. So Alex was working on the eggs and, oh, man, that's a chart. Yeah, no, my, my immersibles don't implode. Yeah, that's right. Oh, totally, dude. James Cameron will build you a fucking submersible that'll get down there and back. Oh, that's the bumper sticker. My emmercimal does not explore. This is why I will never be able to hate James Cameron ever in my life is because he just, after that guy had the most unimaginable death in the world, he was like, fuck that guy. What the fuck is wrong with him? Yep. Yep. Although, you know what? He is, he's forwarding the advances of AI and filmmaking.

I will say that for old Jim.

Yeah, not my favorite.

Not great.

But anyway, he says that the two hour and 37 minute cut instead of the 217

is actually his preferred is what was always intended.

And he was forced by Fox to cut a lot of the stuff out. That actually gives things a little bit of a richer texture, but we will get there. My question is, what's the pacing like? Because I think that this movie is, I mean, it's, this movie is, you know, 80, it's an 80s movie. It's not a 70s movie. But it just, it has a very, even though it's 217, it's got a very poppy pace. It moves. It's very ruminative in the beginning. But like an hour in, once all them aliens come out, you're like, oh, fuck. And the rest of it, your heart is in your throat. Way more. I think it's better pace than the, like, the original. I love the original and I love the slow burn of it. But like this thing, like the minute you get inside the vessel when the guys go in to check her and find her, like immediately you're moving and you don't stop. Even the stuff with the cat is like, again, as you say, rheumidative, but it doesn't feel like you're staying too long. It's like exactly

the right amount of time. Yes, I agree. Steve, but you were asking about the... Yeah, does the extended ruin that pacing? I would argue it doesn't because, I mean, I had to stop it because we were getting ready to roll here, but it was pretty much right up to the final confrontation with the queen, so I can't imagine there's much more that's different there.
