So I watched this for the first time since it was released in the theaters. I got a copy of the director's cut. Were the scenes of Connelly singing cut from the theatrical version? Because I do not remember that scene and I think I would have remembered her terrible singing.

I'm pretty sure they were in the theatrical, but I've been toying with the idea of rewatching it recently. I'll check and confirm.
Personally, I love the film. Easy 9/10 for me.

Okay… every time I read over that nickname, “Naz,” I feel sick to my guts. In retrospect, the name Movie Nazi feels like pushing it; but you referring to him as “Naz” is just too far. Way to make light of the Holocaust and what those people did to all those millions of folks. You’ll probably argue that you’re exercising your free speech in defense… I couldn’t not say anything about this.

Perhaps this will help. You can hear the difference.

♪ Anita Kelsey - "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes"

Oh my goodness! Good job! 👍 So I was right. Connelly does sing in the director's cut that I recently saw and the theatrical release had Kelsey's singing. I have a decent ear for music and I would have remembered if it was that bad when I saw it in the theaters.
And actually the track I had in mind was the standard "Sway" which plays out exactly the same:
Sway - Jennifer Connelly (Dark City Director's Cut s')
Anita Kelsey - Sway (Dark City)
The difference is night and day (yes Dark City pun intended 😁 ) .

I was well aware of those definitions when I posted the previous post. I was making reference to the first definition. Taking advantage of the less historical definition to make light of the Holocaust isn't cute, nor is it funny.

I suggest you roll a big fat one, burn it down and chill the fuck out. Ain't no one tryin' to offend but you always seem to find a way to get offended anyway.

Contrary to what most modern news sources would have you believe, most people aren't nazis, words aren't violence, and Godwin's Law is still a thing. You really need to stop ignoring perfectly obvious, and obviously harmless context just so that you have an excuse to be offended. You're no better than conservative christians throwing a fit because someone dared make a joke about god or the bible.

I know.
Yes, they are. Or more specifically, they can be used violently. Take it from me - a real writer.
Never heard of it.
I would rather be doing more pleasing things with this evening than battling people like you online, simply because no one else wants to take on anti-Semitic undertones of posts here. Trust me.
I don't believe I'm better than anybody.

Words can be used with violent intent, yes. They are not however violence in the way you wish to portray them. Take it from me - a real English teacher.
This statement says so much more than you know.
There is absolutely nothing anti-Semitic about someone playing with a form of exaggerated expression that has been in common use, with no hateful intent, for decades. I too would rather be doing more pleasant things, and will proceed to do so today. However, you coming out of nowhere to claim offense over something relatively harmless and seemingly expecting people to pander to your feelings, than acting holier-than-thou and throwing around a lot of hyperbole when people disagree with you seemed worth responding to.
Clearly, you do, or you would not have made the comments you did, nor would you have adopted the tone that you have.

You have totally misconstrued my intent, English teacher.
So? Why don't you educate me, English teacher?
Your first sentence is a lie. Re-read my earlier posts judiciously, if you can, English teacher. If you still have questions afterwards, I will address them later.
That's a crock of sh!t.

Wow, this was really hard to find out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
I hate to say this because the alt-right, who I despise has hijacked the term but you are a bonafide social justice warrior. In their case the concern is complete hyperbole and the attacks are simply a way to seduce unwary people to the darkside but you are part of that small percentage out there who bends over backwards to find racism, insults, offensiveness, in just about everything. Using the word "nazi" (lower case) to describe a person of extreme character has been well understood and used for decades. For a writer, you appear to be quite ignorant of the significance of what a capitalized letter indicates. But I guess that's why editors exist, huh?

Since we now have holocaust on the mind, I would suggest Spiegelman's Maus . A fantastic read.
