    Zodiac Blu-Ray?

    Wow! I came here to ask the exact same question... In no way do I want to sound even slightly critical about the Blu Ray set because it really is superb, but... I just watched the US / CAN Blu Ray version and many times throughout it cuts to black while people are talking. I'm not talking about...

    Alien trilogy coming to blu-ray?!...

    Im only 30 mins into the making of Alien 3 docu's and already Im amazed at how many snippits were cut for the quad set. I cannot believe John Landau described Vincent Ward's vision as 'artsy fartsy'!!! It's debatable as to whether or not that would be an accurate description (personally...

    Alien3

    The one thing that I would truly love to see included on any future releases of the Alien Quad would be all the B-Roll footage that was shot, especially on Alien 3 which seems to have been quite well documented by Fox back in the day (no doubt so Joe Roth could keep an eye on it all) I should...

    Exclusive to Laserdisc - help compiling a comprehensive list!

    I don't think it's been mentioned but GI Jane has a laser only audio commentary from Sir Ridley Scott that doesn't appear to have been ported over to any DVD release.

    All My Movies software for organizing DVD collections. Anybody else use it?

    Did anyone ever find out why dvdspot shut down? Im not sure whether to rebuild my collection on DVD profiler? I tried the free version a few years ago and it seemed to be lacking in the Region 2 department and as my collection is mainly Region 2 it might not be worth it. Not sure what to do :/

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    I know I may be jumping the gun (as the full announcement has not been made RE: this potential box set and it's supplements) but this all seems really lazy on Paramounts part. In this day and age there is no reason why all versions of ST-TMP cannot be released via seamless branching on Blu Ray...

    Hardware and The Reflecting Skin

    I know this is after the fact (I only found out about it last minute) but Hardware was shown on the UK channel 'Zone Horror' last night (channel 321 on Sky) It was the MGM print that I believe was due to be released on DVD by MGM a few years back but was cancelled due to the fact that no one...

    Commentaries You Listened to Where You Knew More than the Participants

    During the commentary for Dust Devil: The final Cut - director Richard Stanley claims that William Hootkins' character in Star Wars is Lukes friend Biggs. Any SW geek worth his salt knows that Hootkins plays Porkins.

    Hardware and The Reflecting Skin

    I'd keep an eye on this site for news on Hardware... Between Death and the Devil - The Unofficial Richard Stanley website There were rumblings late last year of a possible release from Subversive cinema, but nothing has come of it so far. Richard wants to do a directors cut. It's worth...

    What Documentaries or DVDs Extras Show Actual Film Editing?

    The Hamster Factor documentary on Gilliams' 12 Monkeys shows the editor cutting and splicing the film old school. I think Bruce Willis even quizzes him on why he isn't using avid :) Im personally searching for a shot of Terry Rawlings editing Alien for a project Im working on, I've gone...

    Thanks Simon and Frank. Wow, that's shocking! Wikipedia has a page on Univisium Univisium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sounds like it could have been a good idea at the time... just seems outdated and pointless now :frowning: What a bizarre situation. Im glad I have the R2 SE...

    Statement concerning THE LAST EMPEROR (Criterion Collection)

    Did anyone ever figure out why Vittorio Storaro and Francis Ford Coppola were intent on cropping Apocalypse now for home video releases? I always suspected they were of the belief that the majority of home theatres were 4x3 and that a 2.35 presentation would be wasted on such a display? If...

    THE ABYSS anamorphic release? (MERGED THREAD)

    Agreed. However as mentioned above there have been other instances of multiple broadcasts of a film just prior to an announcement of a DVD release I actually suspected home entertainment companies planning a DVD release may inform broadcasters ahead of schedule that they only have so many...

    THE ABYSS anamorphic release? (MERGED THREAD)

    Sorry for the confusion fellas. Thanks to Paul.S for going to the trouble ands thanks to Geoff for sorting out the confusion. I should have specified 16x9 enhanced rather than just said 'anamorphic'. Im not sure about the US, but in the UK it's just a generalised term for 16x9 enhanced as...

    THE ABYSS anamorphic release? (MERGED THREAD)

    Just to let everyone know - The Abyss was shown in anamorphic 2.35 (or there abouts) on E4 in the UK last night. Pointless news for anyone looking to record it I know. (I was annoyed as I tuned in half way through) But a UK TV showing of a film of this age usually indicates an upcoming new...
