I finally watched this DVD...and get this... Not only is it NTSC...it is REGION 1! The case states quite clearly "Region 4", but I put the DVD in my computer (which is set to Region 2) and got an error message telling me the disc was Region 1! How crazy is that??? :shock: It was a pretty g...

Wow...do you have any more stories about this production (if you're willing to share them)? Hugh Hudson does seem to have trouble connecting with audiences. I still think Chariots of Fire is a very good movie, as is Greystoke. I won't argue Revolution has some narrative flaws, but I love the visual ...

Hi Carlson, I remember you once mentioned to me you were connected to the production of Revolution. I have wondered for a long time where certain scenes were filmed. I've read much of it was filmed in the southwest of England, but I was curious about the waterfall location (where the Indians pursue ...

If only it would rain after the heatwave and hosepipe ban we've had this summer. Still, at least we're back to cold weather at last so we can catch up on the soaps! How hot is it there? I was in London for half of summer '90 and it was beastly -- like the American midwest. And which soaps do you wa...

Well, we're too tired because we spend all day swimming, surfing, skiing and enjoying the sunny weather while you guys are sat at home watching Emmerdale and The Bill 'cause its raining!:lol:

I don't know the man, I have no emmotional investment in his life, and I'm not defending him -- he did a stupid thing. But alcohol brings-out the worst in people, and I've seen many drunk people say things which they did not really mean. I do think this is getting blown out of preportion, when compa...

They way people are making hay over this, you'd think Gibson was the first Hollywood celebrity who had misbehaved. Surely you haven't forgotten... Frank Sinatra (who had mob connections and beat-up photographers) Anthony Perkins (who was busted trying to deal cocaine in London) Woody Allen (ditched ...

I ordered John Boorman's THE GENERAL last week, and opted to get the Autralian DVD...since it was roughly the equivalent of $7 in American currency (as opposed to $20 for the R-1 from Amazon.com). Upon recieving it in the mail I was mystified to read "NTSC DVD" on the cover, even tho the b...

Well, if he thinks the Krypton scene should be seen on the big screen, why did he shoot in a crappy digital system which looks like a muddy cable TV show with all the colour drained out of it? It even looks low quality on the TV clips! And on top of that it is only a ONE-CHIP camera! Ok, I'm sure i...

Paul as memory serves you disliked the first movie, too, so I think it's a no-brainer this movie as well will not appeal to you. I don't really remember the first film too well. I don't remember being especially wowed by it, tho at the time I chalked it up to my going to a midnight screening. In an...

Lois jumping into a river (and Clark trying to hide his "super" abilities) is definitely more dramatic than Lois jumping out a window. Jumping into a river is also a more plausible risk for her character to take. Donner's fight with the villains is a little awkward, but I think Superman sm...

Andy...did we see the same film? I'm afraid I have to side with Monterey Jack... I thought it was a poorly written, blandly acted, dull and passionless. The screenplay had no form to it, no dramatic arc, and it didn't build to any kind of satisfying climax. The whole kraken sequence didn't have any ...

Wasn't he still Supes when they "bed"?? I'm trying to remember, wasn't it around the time he baked souffle with X-ray vision? I recall they had dinner and while Lois went to "change into something more comfortable" Superman spoke to his mother, who told him he must become human ...

One last thing concerning the kid: If you are willing to accept that Superman would sleep with Lois Lane in SUPERMAN II, you have to be willing to accept that there might be consequences. Remember, those seeds weren't planted in this film (pun intended). ;) But Superman was no longer "super&qu...

I've heard of it but it hasn't been in circulation for years and years. Even the lone IMDB comment is from someone who saw a CLIP at Brown when Scorsese was there -- not even the full documentary, just a clip! They showed it on Bravo once (in the good old days -- before they had commercials and act...
