For the memoir, I'm revisiting all the old movies. My ears perked up when I heard there was an uncut version of this film that had tons of outtakes and a behind the scenes documentary. Maybe I could see the sets I built but didn't make it into the movie. So, I bought.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith is the film that continues to deliver disappointment even at this late date. The behind the scenes documentary was horrible. So dull. So long winded. If you wanted to watch them break down a scene ad-infinitum this is the documentary for you. I did get to see the soul of the DP die just a little when director Doug Liman told him he wanted to do a completely different set-up than the set-up they had just done. I could hear it in his voice when the DP "You want to a different set-up that will cost us half a day? I felt his pain.
The outtakes were completely useless except for a few brief seconds where I finally saw the gattling gun mounted on the ATV racing through the Home Store. I hope to see more but it didn't come up. There was also a bit of redemption in the photo galleries where I saw the set of the collapsed freeway and the truck hanging off the side. This was a set I built and was never filmed.
I'll investigate some more. I'll be disappointed some more.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
