[SIZE="3"]This popped up on You Tube. For those of you who haven't seen it, here was the ending of (I presume) Mann's original cut. It was also the ending shown on ABC's Movie of the Week. This one is more in line with the way the novel ended (though not so painfully drawn out).[/SIZE]

Please don't tell me this was the better ending. It was awful!! Maybe the people who liked the movie saw the brillience behind the story, not the movie. Maybe I am used to more realistic special effect. Whatever it was, I did NOT like what I just saw.

You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.
