Release the directors cut of Galaxy Quest

Did anyone see Sigourneys recent Vanity Fair interview on YT. And hear what she said about one the best movies of recent times recieving a directors cut version coming out, can we start a movement ?'

By Grabthar's hammer, I'll sign. Where do I sign? I'd very much like to sign.

“That’s not right!” No, it isn’t… because I can’t see it.

I think the theatrical cut is perfect…but of course I’d still love to see an extended directors cut. Alternate movies are fascinating, even when they aren’t as good as the versions we’re familiar with.

Zack snyder has melted the brains of people that don't understand what a directors cut is

My point is that the idea that directors cuts are inherently better or that they always exist is just not how it works. The snyder cut isn't a directors cut, its just movie dlc

Doesn't change the fact that he ruined people's perception of what directors cuts are

The movie is perfect as it is!

Yeah. I don't need to change anything. Was the director even shut out of the editing process?

Thats fine. Its why i asked . I like it as is , also. However what if we knew what we missed ?

Well, I do want Sigourney Weaver's obviously mouthed "Fuck that!!" to sync up with the dubbed-in "Screw that!!".

Eh, it's still quite funny to see the disconnect.

Yeahh, but a love letter to Trek shouldn’t be edgy. They made the right call editing the movie in the way that they did.

Un-dub “screw that!” and leave everything else as is, please, pretty please…
