re: the shoulda-been-there scenes -- it occurs to me this movie was unusually short, with most blockbusters of previous years, including X2, clocking in at over two hours. I'm wondering if, after the film was shot, some exec decided that the studio was going to go with shorter movies this year, possibly so they could play more showtimes and get a bigger opening weekend. Then they sell the DVD with "deleted scenes" and make more money again. If that happened (and certain things, like SOME reaction to Scott's death by people who aren't Logan, seem like they must have been in the script at one point). That doesn't mean I'm waiting with bated breath for the director's cut, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the things you mentioned show up in deleted scenes. Again, that's an interesting contrast to the original, which was also on the short side -- but, if you go back and watch the deleted scenes, some of them are interesting, but the movie in almost every case works better without them.
