    Batman Forever - expanded soundtrack

    LLL said on the Film Score Monthly message board a long time ago that there won't be a reissue. I can't recall their exact words but it seemed more like they can't reissue it, rather than choosing not to.

    Returning Member. Been a long time.

    For me it was a couple of things: One, life just sort of got in the way, and the other being I had sort of burned out on discussion online. I was tired of debates and having to be defensive and just needed to step back from that. I hope the lot of you picked up the stellar TITANIC 20th...

    Thank you. It's been so long it's going to take bit of getting reacquainted with this place, that's for sure.

    I was sent some pictures of the place. The pictures show the most chaotic, maddeningly wonderful museum / toyland / library / artist space that defies imagination.

    Oh I absolutely meant it. Nicholas is what I'm called if I'm at a doctor or if someone is really mad at me. :)

    Returning Member. Been a long time.

    Used to be a regular here, especially in the TV shows and movies boards chatting about "Angel" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" aspect ratio madness, endless revisions to "Star Wars" and of course, probably the most often-discussed topic I participated in: "Titanic" with TravisR, Tino, Chuck Mayer...

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    Interesting that he talks one whole hell of a lot about this if "it's only a movie".

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    I replied to basically the same inference Doug made about the public not caring much about the original versions getting out in the other thread, but it also applies here: So the idea is that the original unaltered versions might not sell very well - something for whatever reason many people...

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    Doesn't matter, since he does try to justify this nonsense all the time and has for years. How dare you not bow down to the Great George? Oh wait, I didn't either.

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    Fanedit.com fanedit.org. See for yourself. If they were such a problem for Lucasfilm, Warner Bros, Paramount, Fox and any other studio whose films were edited, that site would not be so public. Also, Adywan distributed the film's dual-layer disc for free to a small group, who paid it forward. I...

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    I first saw a Star Wars movie in 1990. I was born in 1981, but never knew a thing about Star Wars at all until one of my friends (since I was 9 at the time) gave me a Darth Vader action figure (no cape or lightsaber blade that was supposed to be inside his arm) and I had to ask my mother and...

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    I bought the 2004 DVDs the day they came out. I watched them once since then. Watched the bonus disc several times, as the documentaries and trailers were high on the replay value. Sought out unaltered versions of the originals, bit the bullet and got those 2006 releases with the laserdisc...

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    Yes, yes, for these Star Wars movies the sole exception (cheap excuse) is made for them, that it'll cost more money put the original versions out, People go into excuse after excuse like too much money, restoration, negatives, interpositives, and the list of nonsense goes on...unlike the...

    Interview Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report

    The "Bring my shuttle" line change began what was one of, if not the worst change of the original trilogy, of course referring to that whole stop-the-pacing-of-the-sequence-dead inserts of Vader flying to, and landing in, his shuttle using "Return of the Jedi" outtakes. The Greedo thing is a...

    STAR WARS ON BLU-RAY - FALL 2011

    So if the same thing were put up here in a press release, which are put up here on this site all the time to promote releases and whatnot, they wouldn't be believed or considered either? They are just as much a marketing tool as anything else but that doesn't mean one is invalid while the other...

    STAR WARS ON BLU-RAY - FALL 2011

    Not that it's at all relevant but considering who made that post, I'd be inclined to believe what Adywan says - and he also had the evidence to back it up anyway. This was the man who gave us "Star Wars: A New Hope REVISITED" and is currently making "The Empire Strikes Back REVISITED". That kind...

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    The monorail being one exception, the Gotham in "Begins" was also an undisguised Chicago, since the Narrows area was its own separate island. It was probably left to the viewers to fill in the gaps about why there are differences in the Wayne Tower, the new one being a completely modern...

    HTF Poll: How do you have your surround system configured? Vote and you could win a $50 Amazon gift

    I'm trying the "phantom center" approach and I like what I hear so far. Took a little time to ensure the speakers were positioned as equally as possible but it's great and I don't really miss the center speaker as of yet.

    HTF Poll: How do you have your surround system configured? Vote and you could win a $50 Amazon gift

    I believe it completely - I'm in an apartment so there's definitely a series of compromises to be made, and I've found that there is more bass / power in using two large front speakers versus those plus a center, but that could just be because my center speaker is of a different brand and size...

    HTF Poll: How do you have your surround system configured? Vote and you could win a $50 Amazon gift

    I have a 7.1 receiver, but I use a 5.1 configuration because I'm in an apartment. Furthermore, I have it connected in what sounds like an unorthodox way: I have the two rear channel speakers connected to the "Surround BACK" ports for 7.1, instead of the standard surround ports. The...

    BD Live - anyone else wish this would go away?

    The Terminator 2 Skynet Edition Blu-ray used BD-Live to store all of the documentaries and featurettes originally included with the DVD releases. I haven't seen the disc in over a year so I don't know if that is still available.

    CSI: Las Vegas season 11 thread

    Bones always had the upper-hand in the graphic grotesque department. From the time there was a body that was being carried and the flesh/innards started oozing/dripping off all over the ground, to that horrible-yet-amazing shot of the Gravedigger's head exploding by the sniper's bullet, Bones...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: 48 Hrs.

    This Blu-ray release is only a couple of months after an official soundtrack release (complete score and all Busboys songs) by Intrada records was finally issued for the first time. Since it's mentioned in the review, it's good timing for both to come out within a short time frame.

    Super 8 - An Amblin Entertainment Production, a J.J. Abrams Film

    Nice use of James Horner's "Cocoon" opening cue here. Adds to the nostalgic feel of the trailer.

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    Nolan said long ago that Robin will never be a part of these films. Bale also said the same thing. Neither are fans of the character, and it wouldn't make any sense anyway, given the timeline since these films are about the beginnings of Batman's existence. I'm in the opposite position, in...

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    Ebert says the debate is over, 3D lost

    I've not read the article, just what's been discussed about it. The title of the article itself is so arrogant that I was too put off to bother reading it. His opinion is fact because he says it is...right.
