Don't even think about an uncut U.S. release. Unless Miramax splits with Disney. They can't release the unrated/NC-17 version. So I will keep my eyes out for the Japanese dvd release if an uncut R1 release is not available.
The most complete version of Cruising ever assembled was apparently submitted to the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC - the British equivolant of the MPAA) but has yet to be certificated. Film Four is apparently the distributor. This could be false, but my source has been right many...
Since I did not get the current box set yet,for two reasons(price & lack of original mono track). Does anyone know if the original mono mix for The Godfather will be included on the new dvd? I thought the stereo remix from the 90's THX video/theatrical rerelease was terrible & bet the...
This is excellent news. Almost bought the current dvd. Looks like waiting has payed off,as another classic favorite of mine I still have not picked up,is always being rereleased(My Fair Lady).
I saw the R version by accident once. It ran only 70 minutes & had everything cut out! I finally saw the uncut version & what a great fun film it is:) I think it would still get an NC-17 today. You know how uptight the MPAA viws nudity,then add in sexuality. Proves we are still pretty...
Rumors are circulating that all 10,000 have sold out in preorders. Yet I doubt that is true & it is just a false rumor to get people to jump the gun & purchase right away. I can not get them at the moment since I am broke & hope they will be around for a few months at least. This year is too...
I believe a 5.1 would add another dimension to the film specially with the storm approaching in the first e.t.c, I know the Star Trek movies sound Great and if there have the same people working on them, why not add them and also add the mono track for the people who do not have a Home Theater...
How extensive are the cuts? I found it for $5.88 at wal-Mart & at that price. It was hard to resist,so I picked it up. I love the artwork on the back of the packaging as well:) Very gothic & beautiful. While I do not agree with censorship & wish it were uncut. Not having seen the film...
Actually the current dvds look incredible. They should never look 'too' perfect or that would take away from the atmosphere. The same holds true for the soundmixes. They do not need 5.1 'upgrades'. They would sound terrible then. I have seen the original in theaters & the mono mix was...
Curious of Universals lack of trailers? While a nice set. It is rather irritating that studios seem to ignore trailers recently despite being included on the original Scarface release!
The unrated version is terrific! You don't know what you guys are missing with the toned down soundmix in the R rated version. It is loud,full of intense sinister atmosphere & truely makes the film come alive. The violence is rather tame(ratingwise) & should get an R uncut. Yet that...
