blurb: A comparison of theatrical vs. special edition cuts and which movies benefit from each format.
---
By default, Dictionarry's profiles prefer the 'special' edition of each movie. This is because these editions are often considered the more 'definitive' version of the movie because they contain the director's complete creative vision without studio interference or runtime constraints, and are often recommended over their theatrical counterparts.

| Payback (1999) | Theatrical | The theatrical version's blue-tinted color scheme better fits the neo-noir tone. The original ending with Kris Kristofferson provides a more satisfying conclusion than the Director's Cut ("Straight Up" version"). Mel Gibson's voice-over is more engaging, and the slightly lighter tone makes Porter more sympathetic while maintaining the film's edge. Despite extensive studio interference, the theatrical cut became more commercially and critically successful. |
| Almost Famous (2000) | Theatrical | While the "Untitled: The Bootleg Cut" adds interesting character moments and music scenes, the theatrical cut's tighter 122-minute runtime provides better pacing and more focused storytelling. Cameron Crowe's theatrical version better captures the whirlwind feeling of being on tour, while the 40 extra minutes in the extended cut, though enjoyable for fans, can make the journey feel too leisurely. |
A [Custom Format: Special Edition (Unwanted)](https://dictionarry.dev/formats/special-edition-(unwanted) has been created to negate special editions for these specific movies, but does not yet work due to radarr/sonarr's parsing of release titles. The parsed 'Title' is removed from the release title, so you can't actually identify movies from custom formats (yet). Once this becomes possible, a single profile will be able to selectively prefer theatrical releases over special ones.

To mimic this behaviour in the current system, you have to copy the profile you want to use and set it's `Special Edition` score to the negative of whatever it was. Then apply the profile to whatever movie you want in it's theatrical version.
