This movie is a work of art.
(And who knew Dwight Yoakum was bald before they saw Sling Blade? Not me!)

Hey guys....did you know there was a 2 disc set of this movie including a director's cut with additional scenes?
I have it and just started watching the director's cut with commentary by BBT! He starts off right away about the first scene with J.T. Walsh dragging that chair on the floor over to where Carl was sitting by the window. How it was developed.
I can't watch anymore tonight obviously have to get sleep but I really look forward to hearing his comments throughout the entire movie. There's some other special features on the 2nd disc as well. Worth looking into if you are at all interested. I think this is one of the movies with many many interesting layers.....
