I am a philistine as well re: Bob Dylan cover versions. :)
Whenever someone calls him one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, I think 'well, I agree with half of that statement ...'
Does the Ultimate version have the Laurie and Jon scene on Mars longer and with Laurie, not John making the crucial "if my/your life is unique, than that is true for everyone!" statement? Because I recently rewatched the film, and that's to me what the sugar cubes are to you.
Alas, that still gets left out. However there is a great, brand new scene for Laurie that doesn't correspond to anything in the comic. (After John teleports to Mars, his military handlers suggest that this might be Laurie's fault. She, er, disagrees.)
Another thing I wish they'd made clearer in the film is exactly how disgusted Laurie is by the Comedian - watching it this time, it occurred to me that her horror when she finally works it out isn't really set up well enough in this version. (An addition I do love, though, is Sally's explanation in the final scene: "I couldn't hate him because he gave me you.")
