I saw The Abyss in theatres when it came out and loved it. Lindsey's drowning scene freaked me the fuck out. I saw the special edition years later and liked it too, but at 3 hours long, I found the original cut to be better.
Cineplex in Montreal sucks. Any time movies get re-releaesd, US theatres show those movies and even have big events around them (Back to the Future, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, etc). Cineplex never bothers to do anything fun anymore. When "Event" movies were shown, they would always have a celebrity MC inroduce the movie, do some trivia and give away prizes, etc. Now, they do fuck-all. And since Cineplex is pretty much the only game in town, they have no competition and no reason to even try.
