Right. I am being deafened by the sudden sound of pennies dropping, and as nice as it is, the sudden flurry of activity on MSN Messenger (despite the busy sign) is distracting an already very distracted [livejournal.com profile] caddyman.

What most of you have surmised is correct, and we are very happy about it, and thank you all for your good wishes. Well, I do, anyway and so I suspect does Elle.

Suffice it to say that I have replayed the events of the past couple of days over and over, digitally reworked the cinematography in my head, checked the lighting effects and had the leading man back in to re-record his dialogue which was hopelessly fluffed at the time on account of his being a star struck rookie. The soundtrack, tasteful and not too obtrusive, but with just the right number of strings has been added.

I now have the director's cut in my memory, along with the raw footage.

I have bottled the entire experience and laid it down like a vintage claret in the back of my head, to be revisited and savoured regularly.

Probably with cheese.

Until the day I can download the Director's Cut to video, that's as much as you get.

I am now going back to staring in horror at the character sheet I am trying to write and am turning Messenger off for a few hours. Normal service will be resumed as soon as we know what normal service is, to coin a phrase.

If you would care to tip the maitre d' on your way out, the management would be most appreciative and remember: this is a residential area, so it would be appreciated if you could keep the noise down as you leave the theatre.

I always prefer the director's cut version of the DVD, but in this case you may want to omit the outtakes & bloopers option from the disc's menu. We've all been there!
