"Director's cut" editions of films have become rather fascinating of late.---I especially thought Blade Runner to've been improved by releasing that incarnation.

On occasion, I've found certain scenes in films so off the mark that I've made my own "director's cut" by taping a film from TV and leaving my hated scenes out of the film.

When LOTR is released on TV I may do just that. But how does one go about erasing or LOWERING THE VOLUME of the soundtrack??? It was so loud at points that the dialogue could not be heard. It drove me nuts.
