I found a pic of my shelf that’s barely clear enough to work out many of the 3D Blu titles: (I’m just typing them in the order they were in the pic, a few I still can’t make out will update if i find better pics but this is the vast majority) I misremembered, on the count its about 150 3D...

Hey everyone, In my last move across country I had to slim down to what would fit in my convertible to move from Vegas to Pennsylvania. This meant leaving behind my treasured TV in the storage unit. Moving my stuff is just prohibitively expensive and so I’ve decided I am probably best off...

This was changed in 2015, and has been discussed extensively in the other threads. It's an entirely different take. The "privy" line was a censorship to get a G rating, and I found in the lined script that one alternate take was done with the original line from Broadway, "pisser". We screened...

There are things you learn that you can only find by putting different versions into the editing software. Already have found a couple small things I didn’t know. It’s a small puzzle working out the differences in the sync and use of the score in the main titles between the Pioneer and the...

I'm working on a big visual essay that will detail all the changes through all the versions released for home viewing. Hopefully should put a lot of questions to rest.

The art was made in 2002 so it would have been an earlier version.

Yeah that’s the same terrible photoshop cover done for the original DVD 20 years ago. The original poster art on the slipcover isn’t great either but it’s surely better.

Ron, Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for this wonderful place. It's amazing to think I've been here over 20 years now! Only thing I'd say is you should have founded the site one day later ;)

Thanks for the review, it stood out to me how you described seeing the detail in the costumes and it reminded me of when Peter Hunt and I were in the color bay at Sony with the masterful Sherri Eisenberg and Grover Crisp who did heroic work recovering this film from the negatives. This is a...

All I know is that when the 4K HDR version was color graded, when it was just a theatrical release project, I was sitting next to Peter Hunt as we went over the whole thing and it was all approved and looked correct. I'll be getting the disc tomorrow and I'll report back if I see anything that...

I'm thinking I may do a project. My copy of the disc is coming tomorrow, and it spurred me on to remember some of the research I've done over the years. One big piece of it was a large article I wrote for the long defunct website DVD Angle, which came out 20 years ago exactly this month. I...

It's a good observation, and the answer is that it's part of the "design" of the film in terms of how the lighting evolves. The sequences in the set for the Congress were by and large shot in script order, and Peter designed them in such a way that they went from flat/bland/sitcom type basic...
