I haven't seen it so if anyone did can you tell me what happens? Or better yet if you have a clip of it can you post it?
Thanks

Ya I read about it saying that an alternate ending would be put on the japanese DVD, and manga was considering to put it on the U.S DVD but they apparently didn't do it.

There's no alternate ending on the Japanese DVD.

I've known Kon for about 5 years, I met him shortly after Pefrect Blue was released...He's never mentioned anything to me about an alternate ending in all this time...

So I think it's a rumor...

I thought it was fine.

I am still wating for the book though...and seeing the live-action movie probably won't hurt either.

Live action? That's the first I've heard of it. Care to elaborate?

Live-Action movie.

Perfect Blue had one of those 'Wait...what?!?' endings that make much more sense later, so I should probably see it again before I comment on it.

Yeah, he was over at my place a few nights back trying out what we in the southwest call a "Snakebite', which is 2/3rds Yukon and a third Lime. Needless to say, he got pretty trashed pretty quick, and after rambing about Milennium Actress for a while he started talking about how awesome you were.

I thought it was strange and all but hey, I guess you're pretty awesome.

Not sure what your problem is. You follow my every thread and call me a liar in every thread...

Someone asked a question, I happen to know the director and answered his query to the best of my knowledge.

You see Zac, unlike you, I've been to Japan quite a few times, I've written articles for anime zines like Animerica(including an interview with Kon printed last year--though the interview was from about 2 years ago) and I work in the animation industry in the US(which is actually how I met Satoshi in the first place).

Maybe you should consider growing up a little before you continue your little crusade against me?

Isn't Zac an editor at Anime Insider?

Perhaps verifying your identity before making claims would help your case just a little? I know you make the claims, and while I'm certainly not in a position to challenge them properly, you should be able to understand the skepticism.

He has before and I do remember looking it up and varifying it (did a google search and some sites were quoting him, Jon Chang right?). However, maybe it wouldn't hurt him to not make the same accusations against Zac since that certainly doesn't leave much to either side's argument.

Look, I'll be straight with you, man. You've probably done all the stuff you claim to have done. And that's cool. But the way you present yourself - throwing all this stuff all over the forum, instantly chiming in with your 'expert' opinion on things, immediately one-upping everyone in the threads you post with whatever it is, be it 'I know the director' or 'I have the rarest LDs' or whatever... I mean, you come across as a braggart and that's really irritating. If you conducted yourself with a little more humility and a little less swaggering I (and others) probably wouldn't have much of a problem with you. You should probably also back up your claims with something.

I mean, I really don't know anyone who's as well-connected as you claim to be who comes to brag about it on anime forums. Seriously. Doesn't click. Doesn't seem right.

Yep, that's me Emerje. I've been through this whole mess so many times and I haven't even been here a year.

It seems like every 5 minutes I run into some bitter little kid crying that I am or am not x,y or z. Maybe this forum isn't for me. I don't deal real well with arrogant jr high school kiddies who talk trash on the internet.

Zac, people ask questions I give answers. If I have a source I can mention, I do. Wow. What a concept. Someone asks about a Kon film and I happen to know him. Ooooo. So if I say, "There's no alternate ending, but I can't tell you how I know", that doesn't come off as snobbish?

I post in a "What's the rarest thing you have" thread and you get pissed because I have cooler stuff than you? What are you? 10? 11?

I've been into this a long time. Probably longer than you've been alive. I've met a lot of cool people and I've gotten a lot of cool stuff. You haven't. Big deal. Get over it.

I can't believe it. Here I am, in Japan, and I'm still locking threads.

Guys, just deal with it.
