Lately, there's been a lot of ads in the Chron sports pages for movies on the Playboy Channel. Makes sense, guys read the sports pages and guys like watching porn. The movies are the usual soft-core kind of stuff, starring actors named Steven St. Crois, Nici Sterling, or Dasha Gwen Summers, but the thing that always gets me is that in the left-hand corner of the ad, there's this headline "Director's Cut."

And I'm, of course, wondering, just what is the Director's Cut for one of these movies and is it that big of a deal. Have people only seen the cut, original one and now might be excited to see the Director's Cut? Is it like the Director's Cut of "Blade Runner" or "Apocalypse Now" where the director had a huge vision that got cut for commercial reasons and they're re-releasing it as a "Director's Cut" so they can finally show their full vision? Like the Director of "Wife Taker, Part 1" originally envisioned a three-hour epic, based on the all the collected works of Mila Kundera, and felt that the original version aired on the Playboy channel short-changed his vision? Will we get a fuller examination of the human condition by watching the Directors Cut or just more lesbian action?

And yes, this is all just an attempt to get more people to read the blog because most people who check it out are looking for porn. And no, I do not have any naked pictures of Anna Kournikovia.
