In Reply to: Dogma SE DVD - will it use branching? posted by Gilesx on September 30, 2000 at 08:20:28:
: When the Special Edition Dogma DVD is released, will there be 2 different versions of the same flick, Theatrical cut and Cannes cut, or do we just have to look at the extra scenes using some lame-ass menu?
You'll have the access the "lame-ass menu" on disc 2 to see all the deleted scenes. We were considering using branching to present both the slightly-longer Cannees version and the theatrical version of DOGMA on disc one, but ultimately decided to just do the theaterical cut because 1. Kevin prefers it, and 2. adding the "branched" scenes would take up a lot of space, leeading to a higher-degree of video compression. The versions of the scenes in the deleted scenes section of the DVD are a lot longer than the slightly-longer versions that played in Cannes anyway.

P.S.- DVD-18 sucks, double disc sets are the way to go.
