I, Madman on DVD? Can't believe it.
AN EVENING OF EDGAR ALLAN POE: what's this?This is a TV special that Vincent Price did. He performs several Poe stories (Tell-tale heart, Cask of Armantillado, Pit and the Pendulum and another whose name escapes me). Closer to Poe's short stories than the movies. It's basically a one man show and his wife at the time did the costuming. They showed it on the Sci-fi channel one time and cut out the segement that escaped me earlier. IMHO, it contains some of VP's best acting. I especially liked his Tell-tale heart. Veddy glad to see it finally coming out. Cheers.
MGM doesn't do 16x9 on 1.66 titles, which is a shameWhat ratio was Return of the Living Dead....never mind, it is 1:85.
What is the reason for MGM not doing 16:9 for 1.66 titles?
I used to refuse to watch anything Salva has done but I found out that the Clownhouse actor that got molested said he should be able to work - just not with kids.Where did you hear that? When he was protesting the release of Powder, he didn't sound that forgiving.
There is also the fact that Francis Ford Copolla (Salva's friend and producer of Clownhouse and Jeepers Creepers) made sure the kid never worked again, had him blacklisted, for coming forward with what happened. Can't say I've been much of a fan of FFC after hearing that.
What is the reason for MGM not doing 16:9 for 1.66 titles?No idea, but it is severely degrading the presentation of a good number of foreign films for 16x9 owners. I could be a cost savings, as it allows recycling older transfers.
