Halloween in July? (1 Viewer)

[Gordon McMurphy]

What the HELL is going on here?

Cundey approved the transfer in 2000 - it says so on the back of the previous DVD!

The show has a that bluish hue in the night scenes - why the HELL did they change it?

Idiots. Absolute idiots. They obviously think they can do whatever they want with the film's they release on DVD, what with their pointless DTS 6.1 remixes and the like, now they are pissing around with colour scheme of films like Halloween - a film made great by the brilliant way it was shot. :frowning:

Time for a harsh, but polite e-mail to Anchor Bay...

I'm not amused.

Time to go repurchase the old DVD again. I sold my LE for this turd?

 

[Carl Walker]

Even though I have the limited edition, I am going to buy this one anyway for the Criterion commentary and documentaries. Ever since I first heard about it, I have been DYING to hear this commentary... So much so, in fact, that I ALMOST bought a LD player just to be able to get the Criterion LD.

After reading DVDFILE's review, I'm going to have to wait and think about this one... Hmmmm. worth $16?

I'm a huge fan of the film and will, reluctantly, pick up the the 25th Ann. Ed. for the excellent commentary and documentary but will continue to watch the film itself from the 2 versions as correctly represented on the LE release. The color timing changes completely destroy the artistic intent and change the whole atmosphere of the this beautiful looking film. Very disappointing

Carl and Tony,

The commentary is not THAT good. Certainly not worth $16.

Yeah, I'm keeping my old Criterion LD (I have the previous LE). Thanks, AB. Because of this, I now have the $ to get both The Omega Man and Soylent Green.

What a shame.

 

[JasonBaz]

twice now $16 has been mentioned as the price- where would this be available for $16? BB?

 

[Arnie G]

BB. See Bargains at DVDFILE

Just got off the phone with DDD, and I was able to cancel. Woot

If you don't own the Criterion LD, I'd say it's really up to you as to whether you should buy or not. The commentary is a really good one, but I don't know if I'd drop money on it just for that one thing. Then again, if I didn't already own the LD, I probably would
