Quickie on Hancock Blu
When the disc arrived, promising two versions (and a free digital download), I threw it in the PS3 immediately and took a look.
Yes, the infamous sex scene is in the “uncut” version. And I do think it was too cartoonish, but that they idea was absolutely viable. In a way, what was missing was some clarity that this either happens to Hancock all the time... or that he avoids contact for this reason (amongst others) and that this girl connects with him in some unique way or fulfills a specific need... other than the normal one.
As I recall, most of the other variations are small, but include a different take on “the kiss.” I will take a proper look on my return. But it was a reminder, again, of how smart the film really is and how it really is a precursor to the wave to come around Watchmen… which Hancock will never get credited for.

Yeah, that all sounds about right: Good concept, terrible execution.
