2nd draft: 4/1992 (I know I mentioned it before but for those who missed it)
Aaaaand this one is a wonderful fan-made painstakingly transcribed comparison script of what made it into the final cut of the movie vs. what was in the book vs. the script. (This person is on tumblr now and if they want me to credit them, I’ll be happy to do so, just respecting their privacy if they don’t.)
This person even has images from cut scenes like this one:
YOURE WELCOME

*to read* – I heard the Australian release of IWTV had the trial scene – but I’ve never been able to find actual scenes to prove this – *looks hopefully at my Aussie followers/friends even though most of them weren’t even born in 1994 probs* – anyway I wonder if the script above has anything to say about that – also MORE ARMAND is always something I look for – IWTV – thanks Weds – fu’Queue! –

20 freakin’ years and they can’t include the deleted scenes.
I’m still pissed off about the lack of deleted scenes.
I’ve heard rumors of a bootleg extended cut occasionally turning up on ebay but I have never seen it, myself.
Someone must have this alleged bootleg extended cut, share with the class whether it even exists#plzkmerciàbientôt

Fellow roleplayer appreciation time: it’s time to tell some of your favorite blogs that you acknowledge, and appreciate their work; let them know that you love them. Spread the love to 10 of your favorite blogs, and if you don’t have 10, then just spread it to the next 10 on your dash!
(I struggle to describe it to ppl, I usually cater the length and depth of my description based on my audience, for example, to describe it to my 7 yr old cousin (who loves vampires and was a vampire princess fairy for Halloween): “It’s mostly about a happy vampire family with 2 dads, and they don’t always get along with eachother or the world.”)
As Tom Cruise put it so eloquently, “The movie is not for everyone.” No value judgement there; it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, so I don’t try to sell it.
I will try to describe the story in the language of tumblrland:
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book…?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
You can also try my vc synopsis tag, but there be spoilers there!
….That last gif is also tribute to antoineandthepiano who loves that gif! And it’s appropriate here, bc if I think the person might actually like it, I do tell them to #READ THE BOOK in the hopes that I can make them one of us ❤
