I've held off G,B&U because i wanted the original English version, without the bad dubbing inserts. Ditto Fantasia, Enter The Dragon, Spartacus...
Well, the studios could get it right the first time, every time.Ronald Epstein said:Just hate to keep buying this stuff over and over again because the

Such is life.
Yeah you keep dreaming that impossible dream with Fantasia and Spartacus.John-Weller said:I've held off G,B&U because i wanted the original English version, without the bad dubbing inserts. Ditto Fantasia, Enter The Dragon, Spartacus...
I have a FANTASIA with as much of Deems Taylor's voice restored as exists on Blu-ray. It gets complicated because the introductions to the soundtrack and Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria are alternate takes in the general release version verses the roadshow. When his voice changes is the indication of material cut after the roadshow. So much of the additional introductions are a waste of time - they would've been better left in some supplement.Lord Dalek said:Yeah you keep dreaming that impossible dream with Fantasia and Spartacus.
I never did upgrade from my laserdisc of Fantasia. It just seemed silly to me to add newly found footage of Deems Taylor and then dub his entire narration.Chuck Pennington said:I have a FANTASIA with as much of Deems Taylor's voice restored as exists on Blu-ray.

I believe that, as of now, the new Rocky disc is only available as part of the box set coming on February 11.Osato said:I did a quick search on Amazon and I was unable to find the 4K Rocky or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly listed.
Interesting move. All of the other Rocky films will not be remastered in the new set?TravisR said:I believe that, as of now, the new Rocky disc is only available as part of the box set coming on February 11.
I haven't seen it specified but I'd expect the sequels to be the same discs as before.Osato said:Interesting move. All of the other Rocky films will not be remastered in the new set?
At least with Lawrence of Arabia, it is a true, director-approved final version. I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that Leone himself supervised the editing of the international version of TGTBATU, so I'm not sure which one he would have preferred.Brandon Conway said:I'm pretty sure MGM considers the shorter cut no longer relevant, similar to Sony's position on the shorter cuts of Lawrence of Arabia.
