Not meaning to further derail this thread, but the Blu-ray for TMP IS the theatrical cut. Perhaps you mean the sloppier aspects of the "special longer version" that was how this movie was always presented since it's original home video VHS and early laserdisc release - that is, until the first...
True, I was quite snarky. I apologize. But to me, your comment about TMP was snarky. I understand it's not for everyone. There are plenty of films I don't like, but I don't wish they would be "dropped from the list and forgotten". Any film with its fans deserves proper home video treatment...
Your opinion.
There are plenty of us here who love The Motion Picture.
Oh, and no such groans when I saw it in the theaters - methinks such anecdotes is so much bullshit from haters.
