You're catching some flak for your unrelenting attitude, but I agree. Directors make films as a cohesive whole. That's why people watch complete movies rather than just a scene. Skipping a scene is just the same as closing your eyes at the theater and then opening them later: you just missed a part of the film. How can someone claim to have seen a film if they didn't see the whole thing? Even the studios have this problem with cutting out parts that might not appeal to audiences, resulting in many films being compromised until a director's cut was released. The only time I'd advocate rearranging a film is for educational purposes like those people who played The Shining forwards and backwards simultaneously or played Memento chronologically to understand the plot better. But to do so in the first place is not the experience the director intended. If you're doing it because it's not appropriate for children, either put on some Disney or try not to shelter them so much. (It's ridiculous how people freak out over sex but not all the violence in the media) If the film offends your sensibilities and you're not willing to challenge yourself, then that's too bad and it's your loss.
