I don't even care about 99% of the movies in the theatre anymore - I'll care about what they do on DVD. It's not unusual for the big Hollywood films to have almost a completely different "Directors" or "Uncut" version of it available. I can't wait to see AvP, but won't be going to the theatre for it. I'll wait for the inevitable uncut special edition DVD.
Chronicles of Riddick is a great example. It was apparently made to be a very philisophical, story heavy, three hour movie. Considering I think Riddick is one of the most interesting new action characters to be created in a while (I'm a sucker for the anti-hero schtick), I was very happy! But Universal decided they needed to turn it into a summer popcorn action flick for the masses - and butchered it. They are now working on the directors cut for the DVD, so we can see it as it was meant to be seen.
