Okay, so I got a vidbunny.

fandom: Butterfly Effect
music: "Spring Haze" by Tori Amos
summary: shipper vid (for the movie's heterosexual canon couple -- sorry slashers)

I don't own the movie, but just my luck, I found a DVD rip to download with BitTorrent. It was about 4.5 GB, so it took forever to download, but hey! When you're vidding, the higher the quality, the better, right? So I spent four days downloading this evil mother of a file, only to find I'd downloaded the director's cut.

The director's cut has an alternate ending from the version I saw in theaters.

The ending on the director's cut is depressing, predictable, moralizing, and generally bad, bad, bad all around (although it is directed well).

Now when I saw the movie in theaters, the ending was actually my favorite part. So you can understand that I HATE THE DIRECTOR'S CUT WITH A BURNING PASSION THAT CAN ONLY BE PROPERLY EXPRESSED IN CAPS.

So I deleted the evil mother of a file that stole four days from my life. I found a nice 700.2 MB version and tried to download that. And ONCE AGAIN, I found I had downloaded the director's cut.

It gets better. This version didn't even have sound. Okay, so you don't need sound to vid, but it's the principle of the thing.

I'm trying again, with a 481.8 MB version. The resolution is probably crap. And with my luck, it's the directors cut and it has no sound and Czechoslovakian subtitles, thereby rendering it the most unviddable version of the movie ever to grace the net.

Perhaps I should just stick to writing fic.

Happy 4th of July.
