Fair enough. What about the 1933 King Kong? Definitely not a movie with crap written all over it.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

See; now, for me, WOTW had CRAP written all over it. It was one of the last movies I ran at the theatre in Edmonton and I had absolutely NO desire to linger after starting it. Great action sequences, yes, but I nearly vomited when I saw the ending. How far away can you get from the source?

DAVY, have you went to see Walk the Line yet? IMHO, it was truly a fitting, honest tribute to a musical legend.

Hi, I was reading back in this thread and, there was some talk about the four disc Back to the future thing being released. I have information on that.
Article on BTTF.com
Another article about the specs
Another thread about the 4-disc

Basically from what I can gather it's trying to fix the framing mistake in the first set. Also, giving the people outside of the R1 users to get the bonus features that were only availible previously to the R1 set. So, basically if you have the R1 corrected set already you don't need to get that set. If you want the R1 corrected set you can buy it here. Also, here's a webpage with more information about it. on that page you'll also, find numbers/e-mails to (mabye) get the V2[corrected] disc's. I don't know if there still sending them out because, it's been a long time since. Also, on that page there's images to show how to determine if you have the corrected set.

here's also, another F.A.Q. about it
Here's another thread with addresses
Keep in mind the above threads are old...

Also, if you want to know why it happened in the first place. I'll tell you. The company they hired to do the transfer mistakenly used the ILM 1:66 plates for the transfer of the II and, III DVD's. Thus, the incorrect framing. So, Robert Zemekis or, Bob gale(I forgot which) found out about it and, got Universal to fix the problems and, offer replacements. Universal didn't advertise about it though, so those that got the fixed versions are basically the one's that were lucky enough to find out about it. Thus, the V2 versions are somewhat of a rarity.
Plus, the V2's were also, re-released but, not advertised as, the fixed versions. Just "the lowest price ever" bttf.com article about it. The only way to distinguish the V1's from the V2's on store shelf's is the orange sticker saying "All 3 Movies! Lowest Price Ever". Although, I don't know if they are still on store shelf's.

Additionally, the only reason the four disc release is happening at all is becuase, of the mis-framing. If that never would have happened, then there would only be one version out of BTTF trilogy per region(and, some stray single BTTF 1 DVD's out there). Yes, the R1 version would be the version with more extra's but, that's because the other regions were released before the R1. Thus, didn't get as, much extra's.

Edit: Oh, yeah, and, I almost forgot to mention. I read that some people were conteplating on a BTTF 4. Well, either Robert Zemekis or, Bob gale own the characters and, they don't want to do a BTTF 4(Universal owns the name Back to the future). So, if there is a BTTF 4 it won't be with Marty, Emmit, Clara, George, Biff, basically anyone in the first three.

I was reluctant to see it, as I am always critical of movies trying to tell a life story, but I watched it anyway, and surprisingly, it was excellent. It's been getting great reviews from all the critics as well. If anyone on here enjoys the music of, and/or is interested in the life of Johnny Cash, I highly recommend this movie.

WAR OF THE WORLDS REVIEW


OKAY, YOU HAVE A WIDESCREEN PRESENTATION WITH DIGITAL 5.1 SURROUND SOUND, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. YOU GET ONE AND ONLY ONE SPECIAL FEATURE. THAT'S IT. THE FEATURE IS ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE ALIEN WALKERS. EXPECT THERE TO BE A TWO DISC SPECIAL EDITION AT SOME POINT AS THIS DVD RELEASE OF THE MOVIE IS PRETTY BARE BONES.


THIS IS A RENTAL.

to which version are you refering to?

Did you really need to ask? Of course I'm referring Tom "look at me!" Cruise's lame remake.

DAYV, if you're rating Sky High as a buy, one question: Does that go for Bruce Campell fans as well as Kurt Russell fans?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

So if it has a "Lowest Price Ever" sticker it is definitely V2?

IT GOES FOR BOTH FAN GROUPS, BUT MOSTLY FOR COMIC BOOK FANS.

Only "Lowest Price Ever" sticker ones I've seen recently are full screen, so i'm not buying anytime soon.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I am considering buying someone a DVD of "Dr. Strangelove" I have noticed that there are multiple versions. Which version is consider to be the superior version? Which version should I buy?

40th Anniversary is defintely the way to go, as it turns out that the "multi-aspect ratio" claims of previous versions were just a load of shite.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

DAVY, what is the quality (content wise of course) of the "Connectin the Dots" featurette? It sounds very similar to the "Bridging the Saga" featurette from Vol I. Thanks. Sounds like a cool DVD.

But I have read stuff on the net that says the aspect ratios used in the 1st special edition were aproved by Kubrick himself.
