The Crush: Blu-ray Vs. TNT TV Version

crush_xxlg

In 2001, TNT had aired an extended and alternate version of The Crush. This version contained several deleted and extended scenes that have not been officially released on DVD or Blu-ray, while also being cut down for violence. The TV versions were also the first time that had Alicia Silverstone’s character name changed from “Darian” to “Adrian”. This was before DVD and Blu-ray releases had also changed the character’s name in accordance to a lawsuit by the real-life counterpart of Darian Forrester. The quality of the TNT TV version is notably lower compared to the Blu-ray release.

    1. Spiritual Acts
    2.
    3. The first time i saw the “The Crush” i was stunned by Alicia Silverstone who
    4. perfectly embodies the love transmitted by Darian Bleecher.
    5. ( The Crush 1993 – Clip: Just Friends: https://www.youtu.be/qqi793k9M0o )
    6. It is my heart beats strong as if it were the first kiss.
    7. ( Kong: https://www.archive.org/details/grant-me-your-lips )
    8. Based on a true story, it tells an eternal truth that will belived
    9. in every generation until the end of time: love for the groom.
    10.
    11. Darian a girl full of life like the morning dew, places her love in
    12. an altar for the one she loves. But Nik unable to love does not allow
    13. Darian to become a woman and eats the forbidden fruit of his career
    14. (Gender: Amy Maddik). Which in my language has two meanings:
    15. One ( KA+RI+ER ) stay in this spirit and two ( KARI+ER ) you are fucked.
    16. His spirit does not love her, refuses all responsibility and betrays her
    17. in her home because she is a teenager too young to love her !!!
    18.
    19. I want to fall in love, but this world will break your heart.

    25. eternal love for the one they love. They tell the truth they accept virginity
    26. and protect you with their lives. And in order not to scandalize no one will
    27. wait until maturity. (Love is not age for those who have flourished.)

    31. Darian Bleecher i am not the fan of anyone and I never be, but they are

    82. The Crush ( 1993 – 6.8.2022 )

  2. In this land i do not walk in the religion of the ignorant, but i live by
    love, truth, and justice. If i were schizophrenic i could not formulate
    a pure thought like a child. And i take advantage of this website and other sites to give a message to those who love the truth and seek it with their heart.

    I have a question for you: christophernguyen726
    Why do you live, what is the purpose of your life?
