this is so wrong.

you're supposed to cut them in half so you can fit each side in the pockets of your cargo shorts.

That's why I cut mine in half through the middle of the cover; top and bottom halves. Sure, makes it a little harder to read, but worth it when I can fit each half in my pockets perfectly.

if you cut them long ways, you can hide them up your sleeve like a hotdog

‘The Idiot’ was originally intended to be a two-part film with a running time of 265 minutes. After a single, poorly received, screening of the full-length version, the film was severely cut at the request of the studio. This was against Kurosawa's wishes. When the re-edited version was also deemed too long by the studio, Kurosawa suggested the film be cut lengthwise instead.

According to Japanese film scholar Donald Richie, there are no existing prints of the original 265-minute version.

Fuck that. Damn I would have watched that. Was it based on Dostoevsky or something else entirely? Imagine a master putting that much effort into a work of art, and then have it cut and chipped away at until there's nothing left...

Based on Dostoyevsky's novel, yes, and apparently the film was close to it. I've watched the existing version — it's tolerable, although the physical quality of the film makes it a somewhat challenging experience. The gist of the story is pretty clear. To my shame, I haven't read the novel, so idk what is lost compared to it.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

You should cut them into four pieces like me so you can rearrange them to get multiple different stories for the price of one book!

I think someone did that to my copy of Ulysses.
