Just for kicks, I went to Amazon to check out reviews of this Criterion Blu-ray.... ...you know, get the "average Joe" perspective on its release... ...and to give something like this justice, you need to click on the 1-star review links. Now, clearly, I can't sit here totally amused at the...

STOP! This back and forth defending each other's comments is bringing down this thread. Let's agree to disagree if we must. I want this thread back on topic without personal insults or negative references towards others opinions. If you have already given an opinion on the reconstruction...

Paul, Was wondering why that never made it onto the final product. Thanks for the explanation.

Tom, I greatly appreciate the fact that you are here with us. You are coming in new, fresh, perhaps not knowing the wealth of history that is behind this release. Your cynical comments are only going to garner negative responses from most everyone here who clearly understands the miracle it...

Tom, I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to HTF. It's a bit tough walking into this thread new. There have been hours of discussion across many, many pages. I know it is a cumbersome read, so I can understand why questions get asked again. Please continue to post any questions...

....ahhhh, didn't realize that was yet another moment not reinserted. I had thought that only the short rafters sequence was the only scene not ported over.

You know what, Charles? I'd be offset as well, but in the end, since the dent is on the inside rather than outside (which faces outwards), I'd probably opt to keep it. Can you replace it once opened? If you can, then no problem. And, like me, it seems like you like to keep the shrinkwap on...

Samspon... Perhaps better to let people discover these scenes for themselves instead of spoiling? That's the beauty of watching this extended cut for the first time. In the meantime, really do want to hear what you thought of the whole thing once it is done.

Two of the biggest contributors say keep it going.... ...sounds good to me.

Hey guys... You want me to keep this thread going or should I close it and start a new thread on ITS A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD post release?I have no personal preference. If you wanted to do it, I would start the thread in the early A.M. Otherwise, you guys can simply opt to continue...

Charles, That's very cute. Hope you don't mind. Put the actual video in your post. How appropriate...how damn appropriate. Oh, I think you guys are going to be incredibly happy with the Criterion reconstruction. I am still thinking about it now. It's just a dream come true (as corny as...

I wanted to repeat Peter's phrase above, as that is the word I am about to again use. I just finished watching this reconstruction myself. It is indeed AMAZING in every sense of the word. Just to recap some history from my perspective... That laserdisc release of Mad World was special to so...

I imagine yours will be waiting at the door. Give it a soft kiss like I did. We have waited a very long time for this day to arrive. Bad news is my next day off is Sunday. So it has to wait until then. Picture taken on Photo Booth software via iMac. So, it's like a mirror.

Exactly! Even though I hate using screencaps to make a fair assessment of anything, I looked out of sheer curiosity, and found that they were comparing the current MGM Blu-ray to the DVD. This is not the same comparison you can make with the Criterion release.

No, I can talk about it as soon as received. Just waiting for the postman to deliver. I am expecting this week.

Oh, Joe... There are going to be a few people getting screener copies this week. Advance copies always go out to reviewers and people who are favored ;) This is nothing new. Perks of being involved with press. I mean, the discs are already replicated, packaged and ready to go. I...

Need to thank Richard (Popcorn1) for locating this archived copy of our MAD WORLD report from approx. 10+ years ago... http://web.archive.org/web/20040302003236/http:/www.hometheaterforum.com/madworld/mad.html

Yeah, tell me about it, Keith. I am checking several times a day. The preorders usually show up in less than a week post announcement. Just want to get it posted here ASAP as we really would appreciate all of you ordering through our link.

Keith, Welcome aboard. Appreciate you registering and hope you stay here with us for awhile.

Mike, what a wonderful way to introduce yourself. May I be the first to welcome you here. I hope you make this place a permanent residence.

Do have Prime. So, if Amazon is cheaper, that is the way I shall go.

Criterion finally emailed out their press kit this morning. I have updated the original, first post in this thread with front and rear artwork.

So we expect that Amazon will sell it at full price?So you are getting a savings of $10 ordering from Criterion?
