I can't believe people are still having the DVD vs Blu-Ray discussion. Can you even buy DVD plays anymore?

Hey, I have a super 8 projector ... and super 8 film camera! (both working)

You can still buy VHS players (just got a new VHS/DVD combo a couple years back)! Huge chunks of the US without great internet coverage and/or crummy data plans.

Geez you guys are a tough crowd. Someone asked the question..and others tried to guide them on the choice. Not everyone is up technology.

That said, I think a slide show would be good. I'll volunteer to provide still photos and narrate.  LOL

A SS posters' slide show with commentary?  Sorta makes the hairs rise up on the back of my neck just thinking about it.   LOL

My VHS player is broken, and the carousel to my slide projector is on the fritz, so I'll one up all of you... and remake the film. "Be Kind Rewind" anyone?

In fact, SS posters remade ASMTYD, so why can't we remake Love & Mercy? I get to play younger Brian (even though I'm Cusacks age and can't sing to save my life).

The DVD is now $3 cheaper than the Blu-ray at $9.96 on Amazon .

I didn't intend to start a Blu-ray/DVD debate, just kindly stated that the DVD was cheaper on Amazon. If you want the Blu-ray or DVD, that's up to you. I pre-ordered the Blu-ray. September can't come fast enough.

Heads up, it's August 25th and Love & Mercy is now available for download on iTunes, Google, Amazon. I've just completed the download from iTunes and I'm going through the Extras. I won't spoil anything for anyone but there are 4 Deleted Scenes and they are all very strong but I see why they were trimmed. Looking forward to a deeper dive in the coming days.

What are the other 3 deleted scenes? I think if we know there is Spector scene, it'll make sense to know the rest, right? It's not a spoiler, even if it is, we got enough of it on the main 2 hours of movie, with detailed analysis & reciting the dialog bits. Everyone seemed okay with it. So, do tell.

Anyone going to post rips from the soundtrack? I've tried to extract Deep End and the Good Vibes vocals but it sounds so distorted I don't think it's worth posting.

I did this experiment anyway. Not perfect but I tried. (And why not this too)

No. And other than like maybe one or two very short scenes, I don't think there are any 80s era deleted scenes.

It's not a spoiler, even if it is, we got enough of it on the main 2 hours of movie, with detailed analysis & reciting the dialog bits. Everyone seemed okay with it. So, do tell.

* Brian Past meets Phil Spector on the street.
* Brian Past in a family meeting (Murry, Audree, Carl, Dennis & Mike) telling them he doesn't want to tour anymore.
* Brian meeting with Tony Asher, asking him to help him write lyrics.
* The full "I Get Around" scene where Murry & Audree arrive at the studio and it devolves from there. Scene derived from the famous "Help Me, Rhonda" session.

I had sort of hoped for these and maybe a couple of others, namely the one where Van Dyke & Brian write "Heroes & Villains" and the SMiLE montage. The first of which I'm pretty sure was filmed because there's a production still in the "California Story" featurette. The other one I imagine was also filmed. There are others but I presume that any scene that included actual music that wasn't already in the finished film would have cost additional money to license so that's probably the most logical answer why they weren't included as Deleted Scenes.

Anyone going to post rips from the soundtrack?

I have not, yet. I was going to wait on the Blu-ray.

Beat me to it! Haha. Nice job. You could also overlap the "Gotta keep those lovin' good" parts on top of each other to make it sound double tracked.

Thanks! The 4th DS must be interesting to watch. And yes, that's reality check that nothing complete can be released.

Saved. It's totally worth posting chops of soundtrack (as opposed to entire tracks).

They're not the best quality though so I'd rather wait for somebody to post better rips before anybody makes anything with them.

Good idea.

***SPOILER ALERT***

The Deleted Scenes are terrific and a couple of them help flesh out certain aspects of the film. While a couple of others were probably rightly excised from the final cut of the film.


.
.
.
.


* Deleted Scene #1: Brian Past meeting Phil Spector on the street. Very brief interaction where Brian sees Phil and professes his adoration for Phil's work. Phil essentially blows him off leaving Brian perplexed and bittersweet. I think this scene would have been fine in the film but I get why it was removed. It probably would have taken the viewer out of the film. The actor that plays Phil does a great job at capturing his essence, while only on screen for a brief minute with pseudo-Ronnie Spector on his arm.

* Deleted Scene #2: Brian Past tells the family he must stop touring. This is basically the full scene, as it appears in the screenplay. Brian, surrounded by the family (Audree, Murry, Carl, Dennis & Mike, along with Al) at Murry's house explaining what happened on the plane. In the screenplay, this scene immediately follows the panic attack/nervous breakdown on the plane. It also immediately leads into the scene in the film where Brian, Carl & Dennis are sitting around and Brian explains his desire to "take them further". It's a strong scene but the reason it would up on the cutting room floor is clear, it's redundant. Of note in this scene is Mike saying "Can I say something, on the record - you don't do it all by yourself Brian". In response to Brian expressing his desire to write lyrics with someone new. I like the scene a lot although, again, it's clear it had to go.

* Deleted Scene #3: Brian Past meeting with Tony Asher. This scene would have been better left in, in my opinion. It fleshes out a little more background on Pet Sounds. Brian looks to Tony to collaborate with him on lyrics for Pet Sounds, initially Tony resists. As presented, the scene is sligthly truncated from what is written in the screenplay but the gist is all there. In the flow of the film, this scene would fall right before Brian enters Western Studios for the first time (with glasses on, that scene) and introduces Tony to the Wrecking Crew.

* Deleted Scene #4: The "I Get Around" Session. In the finished film a brief moment or two of this scene is glimpsed in the opening montage of 'highlights'. It's clear the scene might have halted the momentum of the opening sequence if it had been left in, therefore, it had to go. Although it is very powerful, even on its own.  The band is cutting the vocals for the song when Murry & Audree arrive and the situation devolves from there. The scene is derived from the infamous "Help Me, Rhonda" session where Murry exclaims, "I'm a genius, too!"

Those scenes sound very cool.
