Fingers crossed for the EU cut. I wish I had never seen the US/International cut. I'm still trying to erase it from my mind.

Really?

I actually like both cuts for different reasons. The EU cut is paced better (I only ever saw it for the first time a couple years ago), but I also feel like the longer US cut works well too, and that's the version we've always had over here. I think it's more representative of Jack's slow descent into madness so the longer cut I feel really works in that regard.

That being said, I do hope both cuts are included although I have my doubts.

Very true but it does make you wonder why he felt the US audience needed all the extra info. Probably one of those things we will never get an answer to.

The American version was released first. I'd say the simplest explanation was that he decided there were more cuts he wanted to make, similar to the cut he did make to the American version days after its release (the hospital scene).

I guess I need to see the Euro cut... I have watched this multiple times but always the US cut.

(Live in the UK), I had the US HD DVD and the UK Blu Ray. I like both cuts and both give the film a different overall feel. The US cut is more like a horror/drama with the extra scenes, slower building. The European cut is more horror/thriller, non-stop, less dialogue. Both are excellent depending on your mood.

I'll be needing this day one.

I'll obviously take all the Kubrick I can get on 4K, but frankly this and 2001 are all I ever truly needed.

If I have to wait ages for A Clockwork Orange to get a UHD release, I'm gonna tolchock some poor malocheck in the gulliver.

Geoff D · 03-15-2019, 02:37 PM

Yep, the red red kroovy's gonna flow. ACO is my #1 Kubrick flick.

Same! I've booked tickets to see it on the big screen next month.

Clockwork might be the only one of his I don't like lol (but I still haven't seen Jacket, Lyndon, or that very first movie of his that he apparently hated).

I still need to see The Killing, Paths of Glory, and Dr. Strangelove.

What are the chances of Warner Bros giving this a special packaging like 2001?

Who knows? 2001 was celebrating its anniversary, so I guess Warners were more inclined to give it the deluxe treatment.

I get that they're testing the waters with these Kubrick UHDs, but I'd rather Warners just threw caution to the wind and released a box set. I want Clockwork and Eyes Wide Shut nowwwwwwwww.

2001 got a Steelbook, this will get a Shinebook.

A Shinebook that bleeds rivers of blood every time you open it.
