    Circling back on this here... obviously the incorrect disc issue was very disappointing. And the strange thing is that one plant made all the discs worldwide yet in Europe the sets are correct! As has been pointed out, it's being dealt with, and I've just heard that replacement discs requested...

    Tim is great as is his long running show up in San Jose. It's been a while since I was on. Really looking forward to this release and more opportunity to speak about it. Part of me still won't believe it's real until I'm physically holding it.

    Yes, it's so great that she does these and in particular it was wonderful that she suggested STAR! and they were able to make it happen.

    I'd love to do those, but in addition to 20th/Disney, Carousel and The King and I would need to involve Universal Music Group because the albums are on Capitol.

    The 30,000 words I wrote for the Super Deluxe book were given to Dame Julie and I got back a print-out with her hand written notes on them. So I think she knows about it. She also had to approve all photos. And she does have participation on the album. As for the content, the main score...

    ? about the famous head spinning shot in 'THE EXORCIST'.

    Nineteen years later (!), I'm commenting because having just come across the scene I felt compelled to say that the effect never really looked good to me either time it was used. The cuts to a mechanical head on a stiff mannequin of a body are obvious, the turning access too precise, and if you...

    Star Trek: The Motion Picture World Premiere

    You underestimate the care with which this project was done. Firstly, many of the changes made to the film were well documented in correspondence between Mr. Wise and Mr. Roddenberry, and this, along with original designs for unrealized work, served as a basis for the creation of "the...

    Sound of Music: GREAT extras but sound a disappointment

    To clarify a few points mentioned above... TSOM was shot with Harrison filters throughout and with even naturalistic colors because Bob Wise and Ted McCord, the cinematographer, wanted to be careful about having it look overly sugary. This was especially difficult on location because Salzburg...
