Philadelphia Experiment 2, and the original, got a lot of play when I was younger. IMDB says part 2 was shot anamorphic/ 2.35:1. I can believe it, because from what I understand this film was intended for a theatrical release, and filmed accordingly (it even has some decent CGI effects at the...
For us here in R1 land, off the top of my head (and with some rambling)....
MIRACLE MILE (1988) - The current DVD is fullframe. Needs to be 1.85:1. Kurt Fuller's eyes melting out in 16:9 is something I hope to see one day.
DROP DEAD FRED (1991) - The current DVD is fullframe. Needs to be...
I'd buy one... grew up watching this movie, have a fondness for it. the german version apparently runs longer, and doesn't have Giorgio Moroder's synth cheese replacing some VERY good original scoring.... It definetly would be a selling point to include that cut of the film, since it always...
Excalibur definitly...if the longer cut of the film still exists (i've read the script for it...some new sequences, but mostly significant extensions...been while, though, specifics are hazy), bring it on. Seem to recall an SE is coming, but I cant remember whats on it. 2010- c'mon, at least...
The Wizard of Speed and Time just a fun, innocent movie...kind of amazing that it works so well (though I may be biased, as a filmmaker i can really relate to it)... not out on DVD i'm guessing because of lack of funds to finish it (mike jittlov, i think, wants to complete the thing before...
Strange Days would be a great, much needed SE... its one of the greatest cyberthrillers no ones seen. A perfect example of hyperkinetic filmmaking that manages to maintain a complex, interesting plot (thank you Jim Cameron) and give us striking visuals. The DVD out now...looks good for...
I really want Rocko's Modern Life. Good, wacky humor, and as far as I can remember, it didn't get stale in the later part of its run. Fresh until the end. AHH! Real Monsters would also be fun to own.
On at least one of the deleted scenes on the first release (where Commodus defaces a statue of his father with a sword) Ridley Scott stated in his commentary over it that he really shouldn't have cut the scene out, because it was good and not all that long. So we know he was dissatisfied with...
So, any updates or new information on a R1 release? I'm about ready to break down and buy the Italian version (i've a nice region free, PAL converting DVD player), but i'd wait if I knew an R1 release was on the horizon.
The only show that I really, truely want from Paramount is one of it's nickelodean shows, Rocko's Modern Life, but I doubt its got enough recognition to get a release at the moment. Get Smart would be great on DVD, too.
Yeah, i'm still unsure about what this Extended Cut is going to be. Since those repeated shots won't work at all in scope, i'm hoping they've re-edited the TV cut into something that will work as a widescreen feature. If not, then its just going to look silly and embarassing when those shots...
the "Out West" episode's Hanging song is still missing its intended final line. My memory of the exact wording is fuzzy, but its something like "Y'all bring your kids!"
If an agreement cannot be reached between O'Bannon and Carptenter, then.... well... as much as Dan is a cool cool guy, this is really more Carpenter's film, and if I had to choose who would participate in a special edition of Dark Star, it would be John Carpenter. Maybe they can release a...
The Wizard of Mars, aka The Horrors of the Red Planet, is a movie i've been wanting a DVD of for a long time. It's not often such inept filmmaking can generate such an interesting final product. Almost effective in its badness, sometimes.:D
I'm a big fan of Dark Star, own the current DVD, and would upgrade in a jiffy. My only hope is that the original, longer cut be remastered as well as the Director's Cut. I find it's the version I watch most often, and the version I prefer. Remastering both cuts probably wouldn't be a big...
Yeah, i'd pick up Season 3 in a flash, just to have the Rens Pecs/An Abe Divided episode, my personal favorite of the entire series (don't tell John K ). Tied for favorite episode is another one from Season 3 The Wilbur Cobb episode where Ren and Stimpy visit him in jail to show him...
The last line in the song that ends the "Out West" episode is still missing. Went something along the lines of "Y'all bring your kids next time." Not distracting, it's a clean edit, but its annoying when you're looking for it. It's a funny joke, and the more jokes the better...
I'd definitly buy up ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE dvds. Delightfully wacky, surreal show, a good replacement for Ren and Stimpy (though they did overlap by about a year or so, I think).
Would consider Pete and Pete.
Holy Head Implosion Batman! :D This is fantastic news, thanks Paramount. I'm gonna dump my Time-Life DVDs as soon as possible. No use in keeping cut-up, out of order, incomplete editions when something so extensive is coming out. Now lets hope these are fully uncut.
Not to sound like a broken record or anything, but a lot of people are making good points. Some of Criterion's titles need to be priced at a premium in order for the company to make back its money from the finding/restoration/liscencing of said films. I happily pay 30 or 40 bucks (though with...
Babylon 5: Seasons 1-5 Babylon 5: In The Beginning/ The Gathering Dune (Miniseries) Family Guy: Seasons 1-3 The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus Ren and Stimpy (all 3 discs) The Stand (Miniseries) 24: Seasons 1-2
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but hey, Why start a new one when you can do this. So, anyone know I could get my hands on the 90 minute version of Milo and Otis? I've been region free for a while.
Also, and this is kinda disturbing. IMDB lists the film as 2.35:1 OAR, but the DVD is 1.85:1...
Paul D G is right. The steadi-cam rig they used to hurtle back and forth through the sub was so loud all dialogue had to be looped (dubbed) in post. The German Dub still matches the lips better, though.
I'd buy a re-released Director's Cut dvd. I've had the DC on tape for years now, and would gladly upgrade. It's truely a good B movie in the longer form. I've only seen the theatrical cut once, and it was a disgusting experience, as I had only seen the DC prior to that. VERY choppy and rendered...
