So here's a thing
https://fxrant.blogspot.com/2023/01/heat-alternate-edit-of-coffee-shop-scene.html
Fellow "Heat" (1995) fans - I just found an amazing Easter Egg on the Blu-ray. It's an early edit of the infamous Pacino/De Niro coffee shop scene, created early in the film's production when director Michael Mann wanted the scene to be shorter and have a lot less dialogue. It's much moodier and more threatening than the final version, if you ask me

lol I thought that was silly, almost like a fan-edit gag. What I appreciate in the original/film is the familiar Mann motif of men so wed to their professions that it encompasses their life at the cost of everything around them. The characters are fully aware of the price they are paying but are compelled, even doomed to their respective pursuits all the same. I didn't find either cut particularly menacing or threatening. If anything I love how mundane it is, underscored by Hanna's line "We're sitting here like a coupla regular fellas," even though both understand they are anything but.

hahaha omg
Oh, wait, is it a fan-edit gag?

It's still hilarious/fascinating to see the true first draft of this scene, part of the first version of Heat: Mann's TV-movie L.A. Takedown.

Watched this last night, I hadn't seen it since it first came out and my wife had never seen it. When it was over, she said, "If I had known this was the greatest movie ever made, I would have watched it a long time ago." She's now trying to figure out how to see it on a big screen, up to possibly renting out our local indie theater just for that purpose.

I saw this on the big screen a year or two ago and was reminded that the bank robbery shootout is LOUD
I’d forgotten so much of it, all the intricate side stories, how generous it is with screen time for even minor characters like poor Dennis Haysbert. An epic! *Pacino voice* SHAKESPEAREAN!

Overlooked / under-used “Pacino on coke” perspective

the way Dennis Haysbert says "the hell are you proud of me for?" kills me every time.

We watched this tonight. My wife’s concluding comments were “well that was long”. Smh
Also that was Henry Rollins???!?! Man was made to be a goon!

I'd have to revisit Thief again, but otherwise Heat is probably the one Michael Mann film I'd watch and enjoy again. It's the quintessential Mann film, for better and worse. It's great how even a minor character like Haysbert can feel so tragic, but the film's also marred by things like "I've got three dead bodies on a sidewalk off Venice boulevard, Justine, I'm sorry if the goddamn chicken got overcooked."

Maybe I've missed it, but I'm surprised there hasn't been a scene in a Michael Mann film where two guys sit down and simply go "WOMEN. Am I right??"
