Any indication about what is added?
It's a Q&A / prank show comedy short that will play after the film, if the trailer featuring the Safdies, Sandler, Megan Amram and Jason Bateman at Mel's Diner is any indication. (Though I've only seen announcements of a Q&A, not an extended cut, so maybe that's something different.)

The opening to this instantly made me think of the opening of The Exorcist and it's tempting to read what follows as a straight-up tale of a curse coming to haunt the greedy owner of an immorally expropriated artifact

funnily enough watching the start of this again yesterday i thought that the font which establishes the location was very similar if not identical to the font on the poster for the exorcist
― Homegrown Georgia speedster Ladd McConkey (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 6 February 2020 13:40 (four years ago) link
you're right - they are v similar! though the exorcist caption provides less information to help orient us about which teams are in the playoffs

that lack of playoff specificity is one of the exorcist's great failings, i've always said it
― Homegrown Georgia speedster Ladd McConkey (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 6 February 2020 14:23 (four years ago) link
I thought the titles were more reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark, though can see Exorcist connection too.

Man this was relentless.It really reminded me of that novel by Kazuo Ishiguro that's written so specifically like a dream, with the main dude kind of sleepwalking from one important task to another but never quite completing each one and seemingly getting tangled in all the duties, risks, seemingly forgetting the point of each one or leaving some valuable thing somewhere vulnerable, although this film takes it to fever pitch level and Sandler kind of has it in hand for enough of it you're not quite sure if he'll pull it all off or end up chucked out of a window.

The Uncut Gems title font is Albertus, which I think of as the Ginsberg's Howl / National Review font.

Howard this weekend:
running around buying black-market way -overpriced disinfectant wipes & TP & boasting about his collection.

I only just realised Howard's surname is Ratner. Possibly a reference to the infamous jeweller who buried his own company by declaring his products to be shit...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ratner
People say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?", I say, "because it's total crap."[6]He compounded this by going on to remark that one of the sets of earrings was "cheaper than an M&S prawn sandwich but probably wouldn't last as long."

finally saw this todayI really liked it. But god SO fucking stressful! Mr Veg was more underwhelmed, he just thought Howie was a dope & didnt care much what happened to him, lol. I think I just like movies about hubris & ppl making bad decisions? all the stress of robbing peter to pay paul alone while making insane bets and having a mistress and a family and maybe colon cancer. like you could kinda tell within the first 30 minutes that he was gonna end up dead some way or another. but the veritĂ© of being right there in his life was pretty genius. and so many great characters, just wall to wall like a great gritty 70âs crime movie.the intensity felt kinda Dog Day Afternoon for me? not the story but that feeling of real-life actual panic. and as the audience you just get airdropped into that diamond showroom like aghfuuuuck jesus get me out of here

i think this is a fair criticism. good time has a little bit more to say as far as rob pat's character justifying doing whatever he wants as an act of caring for his brother.
