Anybody have a scoop on how much this Ultimate Edition would cost? I mainly want a special edition of Superman II but I wouldn't be willing to pay, say, $50-$100 for a whole anthology of Superman movies. I have a wife, a kid, a mortgage, etc. etc.

Right, but what I'm wondering is, is there a written score for SII locked somewhere in a WB vault from circa 1977-1978 that just needs to be dusted off where JW and the London Symphony Orch. could just play it and record it? Or was there in fact whole session tapes already recorded by JW and...

Okay Stanton, Really, I'm not trying to be an @ss, but listen again to Superman I Original Soundtrack. Now listen to Superman II Original Soundtrack. The second sounds flat, like you could get a high school band in a studio and record the score. C'mon, let's look at the facts. The...

Lord help us...:thumbsdown:

Thanks Lew, now that's helpful. I did set all the speakers' levels with my receiver's built-in pink noise generator and used a Radio Shack sound level meter. I set the range to 70, the weighting to C, and response to slow (this is based on what my test DVD Video Essentials tells me to do). Just...

Okay, fine, it's not a perfect world. I know I'll have to sacrifice some of the really good surround effects. I haven't seen one floor plan of a typical suburban single family home (that's very modest for most of us to afford) that's designed in a home theater-friendly manner. Anyway, I...

Well, I have mixed feelings about Superman IV. It is definitely not the best Superman film by any stretch, but man I loved Chris Reeve's acting! He even handled a bad script well. He was really sincere and convincing in playing Superman/Clark Kent. If there's any reason I'd like to see an...

I'm sure it's being planned by Lucasfilm, but... STAR WARS SIX PACK DVD SET, SPECIAL EDITION - Ep. I: The Phantom Menace - Ep. II: Attack of the Clones - Ep. III: Revenge of the Sith - Ep. IV: A New Hope - Ep. V: The Empire Strikes Back - Ep. VI: Return of the Jedi With all the...

I'm a bit confused regarding the receiver settings for distance, particularly in regards to surround speakers. Here's my scenario: My couch (and therefore listening position) is against the back wall. I have the surround speakers mounted on the back wall high above my listening position, as...

If I recall, that same drum beat could be heard in the very beginning of Superman: The Movie -- when the 3 villains were in those "hula-hoop" looking rings. Maybe it wasn't as pronounced as in Superman II, but I think I heard it. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but Ken Thorne didn't compose a...

"The studio has negotiated with Ilya Salkind for the release of Donner's unused Superman II footage, and it will be included with the new DVD release either as a bonus feature or in a new cut." NEW CUT! NEW CUT! NEW CUT! I don't wanna see no stinkin' loose scenes just thrown on the DVD like...

Not to diminish the loss of a great actor, but does this mean that if, for the Donner Superman II, Brando's voice would need to be looped (re-recorded in the studio for shots where the on-set sound is not good enough), then would it be impossible to re-insert those Brando scenes? Would a voice...

Does anyone know how to contact Richard Donner directly? I found the mailing address for Richard Donner Productions on the web. I don't know if it's for the same Richard Donner, but my guess is that it probably is. Here's the address: Richard Donner Productions 4000 Warner Blvd...

No way, man, Lester sucks (compared to Donner anyway).

By the way, how is Warner Bros. and/or Richard Donner getting to see these messages? Mr. Donner, if you can see these posts, PLEASE consider making a special edition DVD of Superman II. I know in earlier interviews you mentioned you had no interest in the project, but whatever ills you had...

Oh, yes, I forgot, you should also bring in John Williams to fully rescore Superman II for the DVD. No one composes, arranges, or conducts film music better than he!

Yes, Warner Brothers, please release a full Donner recut of Superman II on DVD (and possibly for theatrical re-release as well). The DVD should be a two- or three-disc set. It should have both the original theatrical release (as presented on your current DVD) and the fully completed Donner cut...
