To answer this thread's question: Nothing Lasts Forever.

Well, now I feel bad about buying the soundtrack album on iTunes just prior to the theatrical release. If I had known a deluxe edition was coming, I would've happily waited. Still, the current album has been getting a lot of play on both my iPod and iPhone.Still, very much looking forward to the...

The deleted material is of the most interest to me here. There were a number of snippets that didn't make the final film that made it into the trailer (Most of the material involving the doctor was removed, probably because test audiences couldn't handle all of the bloodshed), and also the...

Believe it or not, Stay Tuned was released on DVD way back in May of 2000. While it looks to have gone out of print, there is a pretty big influx of used copies throughout the internet that can be had for less than $10. I don't believe a Blu-Ray is in the works, but at least on DVD, the film is...

I have it, and it is extraordinary. You'll want to retire the Ryko disc or the other reissue from a few years ago for this (Save for the dialogue bits from the Ryko release, which you can save in your iTunes library). Just to have the score as heard in the film in some form is a miracle onto...

So I watched the extended edition as soon as I bought the set, and lo and behold, it was nothing short of amazing. Even though I watched it on my small 32" HDTV, I still felt like I was in the Cinerama Dome on opening night seeing this version. In terms of the added footage, a lot of it was in...

Well, the review is nearly finished on DVD Beaver. The images haven't been uploaded yet, but there are new comments presented regarding the Criterion edition. Anyone interested in giving it a read can follow the link below, although I wouldn't blame you guys if you wanted to wait for the images...

I'll add one in: BUGSY MALONE.I don't know if this is part of Warner Bros./Paramount's pact, but this is one I would buy in an instant. I saw it on CINEMOI less than a month before DirectTV kicked it off their airwaves, and it looked like a new HD master (I even managed to DVR it exactly two...

The answer to that question is simple: If you want the theatrical version and the Wake Up Ron Burgandy film in addition to the Unrated cut, you'll want this set. The other BD was just the Unrated cut. I've had this set since it was issued as a Best Buy Exclusive three years ago and I can tell...

What a great announcement to come home to!It has been a 10 year wait, but the wait was finally all worth it. This is the easiest Day One purchase I've had in quite a while!I look forward to seeing the 197-minute reconstruction, but I also look forward to delving into this treasure trove of...

I've been watching this thread from the sidelines, and I've loved all the bickering and the hints. It's been like watching a living sequel of the movie come to life. At the same time, this has been a long time coming, and since I'm kind of on the stage of being broke, I am more than happy to be...

I'll actually be out of town in California during the turn-over, and since I'll have very little access to the Internet, I'll be spending my free time with family and friends that I wish I saw more of. It'll be a nice change of pace. I return from my vacation on the 18th, but I look forward to...

Ladies and gentlemen, we have an announcement. Streets November 20th! The Criterion Collection - Heaven's Gate Love the fact that they went with the teaser poster artwork! Extras will include interviews with Cimino, producer Joann Carelli, actor Kris Kristofferson, and composer David...

Not sure if this might be the release of the year, but if nothing else, it finally shows that it is getting the treatment it deserves on home video. While I wish that the terrific Final Cut documentary was here, this was obviously Cimino's supervised version, and he probably wanted it nowhere...

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet (Unless of course if I missed it), but Heaven's Gate will play in a restored version at the Venice Film Festival. I think the rumors of a Criterion edition are closer than ever if you ask me.
