The non-director's cut left out many needed flashback sequences that helped developed the character's more thoroughly. For instance, the electocutes were orginally named pink bitches. Also, a very underrated sequence was ray's mockumentary that implied that high school students at basketball games were no different than nazi germany. when the in-crowd makes fun of him nicole, points out "hey, he's going to win so many mtv video awards and you're going to do nothin" or something to that effect. The actual director's cut is a mere four hours and actual breaks the movie down into a three part series not unlike godfather. The first follows the lives of their parents before the divorce and cancer in small industrial city. The second is hambone and nicole's early years as up to their breakup in seventh grade. The producers showed us the last but since prequels are so popular these days hopefully the earlier drive me crazy's will come out in the next few years. look for mary kate olsen to play a young nicole, not ashley >
