: Director's cut commonly means what the director wanted the film to be before commercial considerations are taken into account. One famous director's cut is Bladerunner, which is substantially different from commercial release. Got it?

Director's Cuts refer to cuts made AGAINST THE WISHES of the director... an excellent example of which is indeed BLADE RUNNER another would be THE WILD BUNCH. By and large, films which were cut by the director for commercial considerations and then an earlier version is restored is called a "Special Edition" - examples of this would be THE ABYSS or ALIENS.

It's not at all pedantic, it's making a distiction between two very different concepts.
