Re: rate the last movie you saw
The Path To 9/11 (2006) 8 of 10 -I revisited this miniseries that has been suppressed since its original broadcast in 2006 and has no video release because of Disney's slobbering appeasement of Bill Clinton who objected to the fact that his administration was not depicted as perfect and free from e...

Re: Ridley Scott's Napoleon - "Clumsy, Funny" Critics Torch Scott's Latest
I'm assuming that extra hour is where all the scenes that explained WHY Napoleon was invading other countries went to?

Re: Extended editions
Bumping this thread since andy b should add the TV cuts of "Beyond The Poseidon Adventure" and "When Time Ran Out" to the master list as they were included in the Irwin Allen set released by Shout!

Re: Kino spring sale
I've been sort of boycotting Kino ever since the "Columbo" debacle of theirs, though the fact that they haven't announced a single title of interest to me the last six months has also contributed to that but I decided to finally get some new stuff this time: Escape from Alcatraz (4KUHD) (4...

Re: STAR WARS: ICONS UNEARTHED Documentary with Rare Marcia Lucas Interview
Let's face it, if they put Christensen in at the end, wouldn't narrative consistency also mean Ewan MacGregor should have replaced Guinness?? (why should Ben be an old man forever after he's struck down?????) The rest of the interview also gave her a chance to let loose on how Lucas basically erased...

Re: STAR WARS: ICONS UNEARTHED Documentary with Rare Marcia Lucas Interview
I'm listening to the unedited Marcia Lucas interview first. She *really* hammers George for putting the pointless Jabba scene back in the "Special Edition", pointing out how the scene didn't work in the original cut (even leaving aside the bad performance of the Jabba actor) and it also ru...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
The shorter cut silent "King Of Kings" and "Risen" conclude this year's Holy Season viewing for me (I compensated for skipping "Ben Hur" by listening to the score during my lengthy walk around the neighborhood). Didn't watch quite as much as I did in the past but again,...

Re: STAR WARS: ICONS UNEARTHED Documentary with Rare Marcia Lucas Interview
Decided to order it. Should be interesting.
It is no coincidence that Lucas has not had one bona-fide cinema classic post-original SW trilogy IMO.

Re: Disney's OMEN Prequel - April 5th
Oh I'm sure they do. And just how in the world do you get a "prequel" out of this unless we're going back to an ancestor of Bugenhagen killing previous would-be sons-of-Satan? The funny thing is people really don't get why "The Omen" was such a hit in its time. It struck a chord ...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Got through "Jesus Of Nazareth" yesterday followed by "Passion Of The Christ." I think unfortunately "Ben Hur" will be missing the cut as tomorrow I will set aside for the shorter organ-score version of the silent "King Of Kings" and "Risen" to compl...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Added "Barabbas" and "The Greatest Story Ever Told" to my viewing. The former, I am tempted to do my own commentary track for at some point to compensate for that disgraceful one on the Imprint Blu-Ray. GSET despite the poor transfer of the current Blu-Ray at least looks better o...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I got my despecialized editions six or seven plus years ago. Someone who is no longer here gave me grief about that. But as far as I'm concerned, if George Lucas wants to play this game of irresponsibility to historic preservation simply to cheat his ex-wife out of royalty money (I am 1000% convince...

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - Kino Lorber March Wrap, GHOSTBUSTERS New & Revisited
Re: "The Lincoln Conspiracy" Andy, and your comment, "I’m certainly not versed enough in the history to state whether or not its claims have any merit at all!" I can assure you they don't. In fact they were discredited back in the late 70s and early 80s when a team of professiona...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Interestingly, Jay Robinson became a born-again Christian in the 70s after his life had bottomed out with drug use and a brief jail sentence. His autobio that came out at the time goes into that in detail (though I can't vouch for whether he stuck to it the remaining decades of his life). Part of th...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Ironically, Bernstein never did get an Oscar for one of his great scores. His only one came from scoring adaptations and arrangements for "Thoroughly Modern Millie." I'll agree that it's unfortunate "Passion" doesn't have the kind of memorable score that the epics of an earlier e...
