Dazed & Confused: SE in September?!? (1 Viewer)

[Scott Temple]

Has the release date been changed from September 14 to November 2?

Either it's a typo, or they've changed the release date.

As for extras, none were listed.

But don't take my word for it, go to universalstudios.com.

Holy crap! I never thought this DVD would get released! (Shame about the godawful cover though... come back DVDCoverArt! :frowning

Someone once told me that the original ending to D&C had everyone driving off a cliff?! I hope that's not true, it's a perfect film as it is!

ALL EXTRAS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED SEEM TO HAVE BEEN DROPPED FROM THIS RELEASE!

A letter from Richard Linklater, posted on Wiley Wiggins' official website (I can't post URLs yet, but it's wileywiggins dot blogspot dot com)

After seeing how Criterion handled Videodrome, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, not to mention Linklater's own Slacker, I think all fans of this film should drop Universal's DVD department a line to say they support Linklater's request for a new Dazed & Confused Criterion release.

I sure hope the Criterion Collection DVD happens -- a CC Dazed and Confused would be a dream come true. Too bad we'd probably have to wait until 2006 for it IF it happens...

Didn't Universal already delay this title a few months? What's the big deal about pushing it back a little while longer so all these extras can be included? As much as I'd like to see Criterion get the rights, I'd prefer the $19.99 list price Universal is offering as opposed to paying double that.

Send Universal your thoughts: http://www.universalstudios.com/home...gi?email_id=10

Be polite!

I expressed my disappointment and requested that they license this film to Criterion after they've made whatever $ they expect to take for this new, not-so-very-special edition.

 

[Paul Strilka]

just sent off my thoughts. This is a major bummer. Criterion did a great job with Slacker, but $$$$. Slacker was also an underground film. Criterion was the only place it could get special treatment.
Dazed is a cool studio film that deserves better. Looks like I'll continue to break out my laser

 

[MikeEckman]

Oh geez...I usually sell my original versions of DVDs when a better version is announced. For some reason, I never sold my D&C...thank goodness I didn't.

I am very disappointed! :frowning:

 

[Rich Malloy]

At least the transfer should be improved, Mike! But no commentary, docu, extra scenes, what-have-you...

A criterion Dazed and Confused would make me very happy. I have put off buying this movie for far too long.

 

[Mark Edward Heuck]

I will also throw my support for a Criterion edition of this important, influential film. Linklater has proven his bones time and again, he really deserves to be treated better.

Make all the cheese jokes you want, but if the French were still running Universal, they would have mended fences with Linklater a long time ago. They probably would have also extended an olive branch to David Lynch, and we'd have a fighting chance of getting a version integrale of DUNE after all these years. They seem to respect directors.

I would suggest that if Linklater is successful in getting a Criterion version of DAZED, he should also see about finally getting Led Zeppelin's "Rock 'n Roll" over the closing credits as originally intended. Now that he has a much more positive relationship with the band off SCHOOL OF ROCK, I think the climate is good for making this change. After all, Universal finally shelled out for the Springsteen songs Peter Bogdonavich wanted for MASK.

 

[Ted Todorov]

The world's most frivolous lawsuit.

Don't be too surprised if the Dazed and Confused DVD gets canceled because of this.

[Matt Butler]

Oh for God sakes! What has this world coming to? Will we sue for anything?
