Sweet and thank you MJ!!

....and Bezos got another $33 from me. No matter...in my kind, the bread goes to Scream Factory.

The L, I can't thank enough for getting their 2cd out. I grew to appreciate the 40min album eventually, but always found the tone absolutely schizophrenic. Not Beetlejuice schizo, but I mean Darkman moves, almost cue to cue, from over the top superhero fanfare action to the depths of absolute depression with dark scoring so miserable it barely registers. Then....the Carnival from Hell!

The full score oddly balanced this out with even more heroic major mode scoring, that, for me, tipped it all to perhaps where I wanted the OST to be - accentuate the positive! And, of course, Sheffer's wonderful, but immediately out of place recognizable, helicopter chase scenes.

This set gave me the best new look at this work and that's why I'll support "our guys" till I'm a drooling invalid.

The deleted scenes are FASCINATING, especially the notorious outtake of Colin Friels' baddie writhing naked on a bed covered with gold coins(!) and a completely excised subplot with Darkman tormenting Ted Raimi's nervous henchman Rick, leaving him insane and ranting in an alley (his death scene in the finished movie appears to be a reshoot). DarkFans are going to LOVE these, even if there's only one brief, additional "Inside Peyton Westlake's fractured mind" freakout bit.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the deleted scenes--probably because they didn't feel like deleted scenes. They felt more like outtakes where they workshopped different ideas. Several of them felt like they belonged in completely different movies. The acting was rough around the edges too. I found the Rick and Skip scenes interesting because they ratcheted up the horror elements. While it felt like a somewhat different character, Darkman was terrifying in those scenes!

As for the Strack Money Bed scene, it was funny until that last second schlong whipped into frame. I did not need to see that! LOL
