A Few Words About A few words about...™ Patton -- in Blu-Ray (1 Viewer)

[Dr Griffin]

From now on, I will make sure informational links are posted for everyone to see then.

Thank you Crawdaddy.

A slightly cleaned up and corrected version of my original missing post:








The original post, which I had deleted at the request of Fox marketing has been located, with a huge thank you to Felix Martinez! I have shortened slightly, without changing the character of the piece.





I will warn those who may not know my occasionally odd sense of humor, that this was written with:





A. Steam being emitted from my ears, quite like an animated character;





B. With about as much dry humour as might be mustered under the circumstances.





C. As should be telegraphed by the final line.

Aw, shucks! I'm happy and honored to contribute to this, one of the most interesting threads at HTF

Cheers,

I never purchased Patton because of that original assessment. So I'm glad I'll finally be able to add it to my collection this fall.
I understand why Fox would be upset with RAH's original review, but I don't understand why he would delete the post to appease them.

I deleted the piece because the marketing people at Fox were pointing their wrath at others.

What is this, Stalinist Russia?! Sometimes the truth hurts. Is it our problem they made the decision they did with the Patton transfer comrades?

No, it's Capitalist America and you don't bite the hand that feeds you.

The problem was they were biting others.

They can't stand the truth.

Can't stand, or can't handle?

If Mr. Belston is behind it, which I presume he is, I believe it to be a safe pre-order.

As I said.

Belston + Patton = quality.

Rachael, how often do you think about a proper, re-do of the Patton BD...."every GD day..."

 

[PaulDA]

Bought the original BD release some years ago (haven't gotten around to watching it yet--got it before reading this thread). I'll pick up the new release and consider a comparison of the old/new release as small case study in what can be done right and wrong with such things.
