In 1999, there was no such thing as a Blu-ray disc, which can hold about 50 GB of information, nor, I believe, had the double-capacity dual-layer DVD been invented by that time. Had either of these technologies existed, my DVD of Dark Star would surely have contained two films — the original and the extended cut — thus rendering the skipping of certain chapters unnecessary, and ensuring a smoother viewing experience.
