(the director's cut is somehow darker and less funny)
No kidding, he excised the best gag in the movie.

well one thing I can say: if the turnout for this (free!) screening is anything to go by, people do not give a fuck about this film

I get the feeling that despite it's absolute shiteness I'll probably end up liking this. Despite both the actor/character dying I get the feeling Bernie Mac is a big loss for any bullshit sequel, he's at least a quarter of what I liked about the original.

Re Acid House - I remember seeing "Screenplay by Irvine Welsh" and thinking "Uh-oh"
Rightly, as it turned out. Being a bunch of short stories, some were OK, but when they were bad, they were very bad.

there's only 3 of the short stories from the book in the film, it is a bad film

I like the film but I would have cut that scene too.

That scene ruled, nut-knock based slapstick is always funny

Shouldn't have had Marcus respond - just staring at him for an empty 10 seconds would have made this one of the best scenes ever.
