I am now ! That Marketplace seller was a real dick ! I pointed out I chose Expedited shipping ( good thing I did ), their response was " so ? I use first class all the time no matter what." Then WHY offer expedited ( which then becomes Priority ) ??? Because they think Amazon DEMANDS them to offer it !?!?!?!? WHA ? Noooooo....then while we're talking, they cancel my order because I " have an attitude."

Some extended cuts feel like pieced together bits of deleted scenes, this one worked because it flowed well, while fleshing out the detail and depth. It's been a year since I watched this, and I don't recall the exact differences off the top of my head, so I hope that gives you enough info.

Loooved this movie. A great blind buy. Thank you, Wal-mart's $7.88 bin. Joaquin Phoenix is amazing in this.

Here's an interview with writer-director James Mangold.
Regarding the Extended Cut >>>

It says we get 17 minutes of extra footage with the Extended Cut, pushing this to almost two and a half hours. Was this extra footage cut primarily for time or were there other considerations? What can we expect from this extra footage?

James Mangold: Well, the musical sequences are more fully realized. In cutting the movie, one of the things I was trying to do was to not get caught up in the musical sequences. One of my anxieties was about the musical biopics that I found, a lot of times the musical sequences would wear out their welcome and go on too long. The material of Joaquin (Phoenix) and Reese (Witherspoon) doing these songs is so good, I thought for fans of the movie, I think they'd really love to see more of their performances.

We get a lot more of that on the special features too with the Johnny Cash Jukebox. Are these just the same songs in the movie, just fleshed out more?

James Mangold: That, and they're integrated into the picture. They aren't just extras. We cut them into the movie. So there are different edits of those pieces, plus there are scenes that weren't there. There's one in particular. I was always fascinated with the song I Still Miss Someone. 'I go out to a party, look for a little fun/But a find a darkened corner 'cause I still miss someone.' How that related to John and how that was originally sung, I found that profoundly spoke to John about his feelings for his brother as well as his feelings about June. The way that June almost became that angel for him in the way that his brother had been. There were some scenes in the middle of the picture that were, where I felt it was dragging a little, I've had the confidence to put them back in and there are some beautiful performances with that song and thinking about his brother. There's also an expanded scene at the end with June at the church where he goes to the church with her. There are some scenes that we cut for time a little bit and we were more self-conscious about making sure the movie didn't go an ungainly length. I think, given the popular response to the movie, there are some really great performances that you'll see in this.

It's a shame Reese Witherspoon won an Oscar for this. Other than dyeing her hair, she did jack---- in this. Wild was her true magnum opus.
