The Governor's Ball is a real loss.
Michael Rooker gave my favorite performance in that flick (with all due respect, he was clearly the most experienced, trained performer in production) and every frame of his that was deleted is just a damn shame to me.
Hell, in the first cut he would've seemed to dominate the film (what with having the first major spoken dialogue and screen time). Instead, the first impression one gets of MALLRATS is a scene featuring the two weakest characters and some of the worst writing and directing that Kevin ever decided to keep in a final cut.
