The whole movie leads up to the D-Cut ending. The T-Cut ending was tacked on at the insistence of the Weinsteins, just like all the filler-kills in the movie. Even the D-Cut isn't exactly what Zombie wanted. Take out the hicks in the field, the strip-club scene, and the deaths at the Phantom Jam, and we'd be a lot closer to the slow-burn movie that Zombie initially scripted. The Weinsteins wanted more kills, and an ending that didn't involve all of the major characters dying...even though the film's narrative is written as a tragedy, and tragedy traditionally demands that the protagonist end up in the ground.

But like I said, why does every Halloween thread have to turn into this same discussion? H:R has nothing to do with the Rob Zombie Halloween films...why are we even talking about them?

I just didn't like the fact that

[Show spoiler]Michael, Loomis, and Laurie all just die.

Thankfully there are 2 different versions for people who like either, sadly both of the versions aren't on blu-ray, but oh well. Interesting hearing your opinion though. I just hope Halloween 3D gets off the ground soon, i'm very curious where they take it after H2.
