Dawn of the Dead: Director's Cut

Okay, so it's only marginally different than the version Tim and I saw in theatres back in May but this time we saw it with the girls present. I've found since my orriginal writing that we've decided to use the word zombling regularly to describe the zombie baby, as an interesting side note. That scene has been slightly extended to change the pacing and intensity of it. It's less shocking, but heavier, as there is more screen time devoted to the baby, allowing us to see it's helplessness, shots of characters reacting, and a shot of Sara Polly lining up her shot. The majority of other scenes removed are for the same reason that most sceness are removed from any movie: pacing, redundancy, and length. If you've seen it before in the orriginal cut you sit there and think "gee, that's why this was cut" even though aa few of them have some interesting lines that are referred to later, like CJ sitting in the holding cell reading an article in a women's magazine about trust being the number one ingredient in any relationship.
