Never seen the DC either though I doubt I'll remember the differences!

I watched this the other day. I had it on DVD but don't remember seeing the whole film, despite being a huge Coen Brothers fan (I honestly like every one of their films). Brilliant film, definitely top ten material. As far as the Director's Cut goes, in the interview on this disc they basically implied they tightened up the editing; it's a very efficient thriller done so I imagine they just made the narrative flow more organically (discarding lingering shots). Would've been nice to include both cuts, but there you go.
