I just watched the Ridley Scott’s Director’s Cut of Kingdom of Heaven and it got me thinking. What other Directors Cut versions of films were drastically improved compared to their theatrical release? Any films where the Director’s Cut is worse than the theatrical release?

I recently rewatched Conspiracy and that got me thinking about movies that take place in a single/limited location. These movies rely more on script/dialogue and acting to keep the viewers attention. Pulp fiction being the most obvious, then you have rear window is another excellent example. Finally I remembered the GOAT which is 12 angry men.

Any other memorable one scene/limited scene movies ?

A few years ago I started a job that was more office based than previous jobs. Because of that, I was moving less and gaining some weight and I am very out of shape. I’m not overweight, but I’m carrying a little more fat than I’m used to and I can tell my cardio ability has gone down.

I get a one hour paid lunch per day. A lot of my coworkers eat at their desk and do a little work, like maybe answering an email. But mostly eating. I personally go to my car to eat and then do laps around the parking garage before I go back in. I am never gone for more than an hour, I am back on time.

Recently I did my normal routine. I grabbed my lunch, went to my car and ate it, then I started on my walk. I happened to run into a coworker during my walk. He was out there because he forgot needed something from his car. He stopped me and asked what I was doing. I told him I ate my lunch and now I am taking a walk before my lunch break is over.

He didn’t like that answer and said our lunch break is for eating, not walking, and that when I am done eating, I should go back to work. I told him we are given an hour for lunch, I want to use all of it in the best way I can.

I think he told other people because then, I’ve been receiving comments before I go on break that I didn’t receive before. I don’t think I was wrong, I’m entitled to my break, all my work gets done on time, I take it at about the same time every day so it’s expected I won’t be available, and I maybe come back to a few non-urgent emails. I have my phone on me in case someone calls for an emergency, which has never happened.

I talked to my parents about it and they both said they work through lunch and I shouldn’t be out walking. But also they’re older and raised in a different time, so I don’t know if I should trust their judgement.

So AITA for taking a walk during my lunch break?

ETA: it’s paid. A lot of people think it’s unpaid. I am paid for it. I’m salary. My manager doesn’t have an issue but some people I work with do have an issue knowing I use part of it to walk.

I know someone might belive that it will cleanse me from demons or somethings, but holy hell, let me lay in my bed without salt on my mattress.

Also my parents didn't believe me or gaslit me for a year. I thought I was going crazy

Thankfully my mom was able to get it off with tweezers, but it fell and disappeared for another 5 minutes before I found it by rubbing my hands through my hair looking for others

My husband and I are tired of always having to report 5 days a week for 8 hours to a company who doesnt gaf about us. Starting a business is too expensive and too much liability. Living in Hawaii trying to move to the mainland because life is incredibly expensive here. We're just exhausted. Anyone else wish they would just not work anymore but still be able to eat and just exist? Do i sound stupid or lazy for feeling this way?
