EDIT: Nevermind. Of course I figured it out instantly.

Some folks on the IMDb boards took this to mean season sets were coming... who knows. SOMETHING is coming, which is all I care about. A November release means we'd get a press release... when? July-ish?

All things considered, it's probably just the Comedy Festival "Salute to The Larry Sanders Show" disc that he had been talking about. It'd make more sense to test the waters, too, than putting out a Best-Of. You put out this tribute disc, see how it sells, and if it does well enough you start...

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm stupid.

I've recently started beefing up my Concert DVD collection, and I keep on coming across two Guns n' Roses releases, Use Your Illusion I and II. Anybody have them? What is the verdict? How is the audio/picture quality? How does the band sound? Also, on a somewhat unrelated note, I just...

If the second disc of features is as good as the one we got with WAR OF THE WORLDS, I'm sold.

After a semi-extensive search, this is the only report online I was able to find from the Apsen Comedy Festival. From avclub.com -

Well no, I know that the Paradise Lost films came out well before Fahrenheit 9/11, it's just that up until the Michael Moore film I took documentaries as, well... definitely the truth. 9/11 made me take another look at all films like this, new and old.

In an effort to form an actual opinion on the case and not just "The documentary says they're innocent so FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE!", I picked up and am tearing through Mara Leveritt's Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, and even from the little I've read so far one thing...

It sucks that the wait is so long. I wonder what reason they could possibly have for holding it off for an entire month.

I don't think ITV4 has completely stopped showing Sanders, it's just that they've begun to majorly space out when they show new episodes. From another forum I post at: Keep a look out, because I have a feeling when it does return it's going to be a pretty random thing.

The US Comedy Arts Festival was this past weekend in Aspen, Colorado, and it featured the Salute to the Larry Sanders Show that I referenced in the first post in this thread. The program summary found online: I guess the program lasted around 75 minutes. It sounds like whatever was shown will...

Over the course of the last week I've had the opportunity to check out both Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills and its sequel, Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, and I have to say I think they're both really fantastic. I had heard about them a long time ago, but never really thought...

Sony seems like the kind of studio who is really unwilling to go out on a limb for anything. If your show doesn't sell really well right away, they throw out all hope of ever continuing to put it out (Mad About You, The Larry Sanders Show, etc.)

I finished reading This Monster Lives this afternoon, and I can honestly say it was fantastic. There is so much useful information to anyone even remotely interested in documentary filmmaking, as well as more depth provided to fans of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Some of the most...

I can't imagine there is a huge demand for these, honestly. Bigger TV movies are available (the Stephen King flicks, for example), but I can't see it being a hugely profitable investment for studios.

In the supplimental material on the Some Kind of Monster DVD, Berlinger makes reference to the team starting work on a third Paradise Lost movie. A quick search of the IMDb, however reveals that this has not actually happened yet - almost two full years later.

I feel your pain. About a week or so I had the David Bowie/Mick Jagger version of "Dancing in the Streets" stuck in my head for like three days. Now, as much as I like them both, three days of that song is far from a good thing. But worse than that, probably the most annoying-ass song I've...

I'm also probably going to end up hanging onto my current release of THE SHINING, if only because I think it looks so strikingly beautiful in 4:3. It's one of the best looking movies I've ever seen, and I think that ratio really does something to emphasize that.

I'll tell you what this book has *really* made me want to do - check out Brother's Keeper and the Paradise Lost films - the other documentaries from the Berlinger-Sinofsky team. Has anybody seen them? Are they as good as Berlinger seems to think they are in this book?

This is the first time I'd heard that possibly they were "provoked".

On the subject of the Napster debacle, Lars Ulrich addresses its origins in the supplemental material on the Some Kind of Monster DVD in a way that I am 100% behind. The Napster debacle did not come out of "Oh my God, people are downloading our music, we're losing money, we need to stop this...

I know I'm about a year and a half late to the game, but has anybody read Metallica: This Monster Lives, Joe Berlinger's fantastic accompaniment to the equally-fantastic documentary Metallica: Some Kind of Monster? After checking it out from the library yesterday afternoon, I've torn through...

Is Kids in the Hall not doing well? Is that why the distance is so great between releases? Or am I completely off base, here? I mean, I know that it is very much a show with a cult following, but it seemed to me like the kind of show that would thrive on DVD.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think somewhere along the line I used to be that way... but definitely not anymore. If film school has been important for one thing, it's the revelation of just what I'm up against. :) The Complete Book of Scriptwriting by Straczynski arrived in the mail today. I...

Confessions of a Late Night Talk Show Host: The Autobiography of Larry Sanders arrived in the mail today. Having only gotten through the introduction and the first chapter before getting some running around done, I am happy to say that the book has already made me laugh out loud twice: one of...

I was just thinking about picking this show up on DVD yesterday and was shocked when I found out that only two seasons and a "Best Of" were available on DVD. I used to love this show back in the day - I believe I caught it regularly when it aired during the later half of its run, as well as the...

It does?! Yes!

No, I know I've got better odds of getting struck by lighting while winning the lottery than going in with no experience and getting a show on the air. I was just saying. If I'm trying to learn how to write teleplays, the easiest way theoretically would just be to write a bunch of my own. And if...
