It's not out until 6/3, not "the 6th". Can't speak for others, but I've not gotten a screener yet...

 

[Robert Harris]

Perfect!

 

[David Coleman]

Oh Mr. Harris can you give us more insights????

 

[Robert Harris]

Insights?

Perfect audio.

Perfect picture with proper film grain.

Proper aspect ratio.

All the technical ingredients are in place.

While not art, a terrific film from Alan Parker, which seems to have gotten better with a bit of age.

Recommended.

Saw a preview on Entertainment Tonight yesterday that indicated they were doing a story on the FAME DVD this coming Monday.....

"But I been done seen 'bout eva-thing, when I see..."

a terrific film from Alan Parker

Well, there's always a first time for everything, and on the sheer recommendation of the good Mr Harris, I shall set about acquiring this.

 

[David Coleman]

Dang... this is a definite and with a Robert Harris seal of approval too! This will definitely be in my collection on the 3rd!!

Well, there's always a first time for everything,

??? I haven't seen quite a few of his films, but I loved Birdy and Fame, and I think Midnight Express, Shoot the Moon, and The Commitments are fine films. I know he got a lot of crap for The Road to Wellville, Evita and The Life of David Gale and others, none of which I've seen, but I think you're being a little bit harsh.

Almost in time for the new Fame reality show with Debbie Allen as host, which starts this Wednesday with a 2-hour premier.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....



THANK YOU!

I am terribly concerned that not only is David dancing around the room naked as usual, but this time he is liable to burst out of the room onto busy streets and disrupt traffic.

Regards,

 

[David Lambert]

Nah, too busy for any of that!

I have a feeling this will be a movie that ill have to go all the way to borders bookstore next week to find, catalog titles are sometimes scarce around here.

First FAME review I've found on the net!!! Concurs with what Robert Harris stated.

I was going to buy this at a later stage but with RAH's recommendation, I just pre ordered this.

I have scanned through parts of this disc and all I can say is WOW ! I never expected this film to look this good, it's 23 yrs old and looks like it was shot recently!! I don't know what Warner is doing in their film restoration department but everyone else needs to follow suit!!

Also they've done right by the special features. I just love the video commentary viewing option where some of the cast and Alan Parker chime in!

Biggest surprise thus far is that the designer Isaac Mizrahi was in the film (per Alan Parker). Can't wait to get more tidbits when I have a chance for a proper sit down!!

Biggest surprise thus far is that the designer Isaac Mizrahi was in the film (per Alan Parker).

He's in the audition sequence, doing a scene from As You Like It in a jester's cap.

I went through everything except the commentary last night. It's a great disc.

anyone notice Irene Cara? grin.

will finish watching now.

Finally had a chance to view it . I also took a walk through the commentary (very enlightening -- Parker apparently was not well liked by the cast and vice-a-versa). One of my favorites from the 80's with a bit of a 70's flavor . Highly recommended per the above discussion and my own observations .
