(

)

... that, after the release of Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut, the original film was described as being the first "flop" to be given a director's cut?

Other problems: - the wording might be tighter. I'll suggest an ALT

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I liked the original but haven't seen the director's cut. The article indicates that it's not as good so it's definitely not too promotional. Andrew D. (talk) 15:19, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that Donnie Darko was described as being the first flop to be given a director's cut?
- I'd have no real objection to that phrasing, my only concern would be that it would violate WP:EGG – a reader could reasonably expect that clicking the bold link will take them to the Director's cut article, when in actuality it won't at all.
