If 'Director's cut' actually meant 'the director's vision of the perfect 
representation of the movie', I would agree.  Unfortunately, most of the 
time it just means 'look, we put some crap from the cutting room floor
back 
in the movie so that we could convince you to buy yet another version of
the 
same movie'.  Simply making a movie longer doesn't make it better.  In
some 
cases, like a screw ****t on the side of a Terminator's head that easily 
disables it , the scene was likely cut out because it weakens the 'threat
of 
the bad guy' and made very little sense.

I'm still wondering how a 'read only' terminator would be able to learn
what 
John and Sarah looked like or where they lived.
