Er, not sure what happened
Shout out to my friend who once tried to torrent Malick’s The Tree of Life, downloaded 3h 8m of the trailer on a loop, and watched that for thirty minutes thinking it was “experimental” before he caught on. I have thought about this approximately twice a week for ten years 🙏— Megan (@mmegannnolan) October 30, 2019

I suppose you're also going to shatter my illusions by claiming that the film isn't actually scored to an extended mix of 'Yackety Sax'.

prayers up for this poor bastard mentioned in the comments
another s/o to @SomeNiceFun who inadvertently watched it thinking it would be a calming film to take the buzz off an acid trip, and who was also - unbeknownst to him - was simultaneously coming down with norovirus— Stan The Golden Boy (@tristandross) October 30, 2019

I had totally forgotten Jack shouting at his father "SHE ONLY LOVES ME!"
Extended version throws in too much that truly is too much/not enough (Ben Chaplin as abusive dad in the neighborhood). Also Chastain's mother (Fiona Shaw) explicitly diagnosing Pitt's resentments, which we can see for ourselves.
Alex Ross's Criterion supplement on the musical selections is excellent.
