I picked this up at Best Buy on Sunday. Not really noticing I brought the two-disc up to the register which then rung up at $16.99 (or thereabouts). So I bought the one-disc at the sale price which seems to be simply Disc One of the...

Regarding the gas station scene in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, I've seen it...in a version shown on regular television. I figured it was just a cut scene inserted to pad out the running time, since I'd never seen it before, either when...

Funny that Mission to Mars should get mentioned in this thread. When I saw that movie on opening night on Hollywood Blvd., I thought the response from the crowd was the closest I'd ever get to actually experiencing what I've read...

This has all been dealt with legally. Sony owns no rights connected with Bond, Thunderball or Never Say Never Again. It will not be remade...again. MGM own the property in full now, which is why NSNA is on MGM Home Video.

Funny, there was just a midnight showing of Explorers in LA, with star Jason Presson in person. I've never fully figured out the reasoning behind the two different versions, they're so similar it barely seems worth the trouble....

I can't help but wonder if the whole Blockbuster-NC-17 issue is sort of a moot point with something like this, a thirty-year old cult film. Maybe Fox is just being slow to realize how many people would LOVE to see this come out on DVD....
