Aw...man...Couch! You shouldn't have disclosed that we hadn't determined the cheesy custody arrangements yet. We still need a few reviews to make a hundred. 🤫

Sounds like a gouda time to me...
Winning FEOTM should be a bries for this edit...
It was grate!............
 
I've made a few very minor adjustments to the audio as per some notes from @The Scribbling Man
  • Removed strings from Leon's meeting with Tony -- when he gets the rifle -- so they no longer clash with the score at the beginning of the next scene.
  • Increased the volume on various foley during "Dancing Barefoot"
  • Adjusted music levels slightly in "Dancing Barefoot" so dialogue breaks through better.
  • Corrected a moment before "Angry Johnny" where the sound dips to zero.
There are no visual changes so the version code stamped in the opening warning is still 20230511.

I plan on making a second, optional 5.1 track with a more reserved score. I'll be bringing back Eric Serra's music in a few scenes. There will still be several of the "new" songs, however. I have no plans to bring back Sting's song for the closing credits or "Venus as a Boy" during the montage. I'm still balancing it out in my head (which to keep, which to revert). Either way, both tracks will be available (once I learn how to package it up properly), so folks can pick their poison.
 
I'm currently rendering a new version of this without any opening intros or trailers. This version also restores Eric Serra's score during the final shoot-out. So "Human Behaviour" has been removed, in other words. That scene is definitely better with the original score. If you are interested, please reach out and I'll share when it's ready (later today or tomorrow, most likely).

Regarding ArtisDead's involvement in this edit, it's no secret his overall input was minimal, and he didn't do any actual editing, but he was a receptive ear when I needed it most, and I do think the edit wouldn't have been finished/released without his encouragement and creativity. Having said that, a special thanks might have been a more appropriate form of attribution, at the time.

For full transparency, these are the songs he recommended I use (that made it into the edit):
  • Real Life - Send Me An Angel
  • Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot
  • Poe - Angry Johnny
  • Sarah McLachlan - Elsewhere
Placement, timing, and the audio rebuilds were all me, but I can't deny how much better the edit is with Elsewhere closing out the movie. That was a truly inspired choice. ArtisDead, if you're reading this: Thank you. It was a genuinely great experience having your ear during those final few weeks before release.
