Or at least have the deleted scenes and extended versions and such seperate from the original theatrical release.

I agree...pretty much. I don't like the idea of different visions for a film. I'm not a film maker and probably never will be, but I feel that if I were, that I would do my best create my one vision for a film, and that would be it. I don't even like the idea of including deleted scenes as extras on a DVD. Then you get all the arguments from people saying, "hey, that scene should have been in there...that was great!"....crap like that. I wish a director would just make a film and that it is it. Either you enjoy it or you don't.
I think a main reason why directors choose to release different versions on DVD now is because they can't release that true vision for a film in theaters. Things like the MPAA and film length keep them from doing it. I guess in cases like that I prefer to see the DVD release.
