Og, what other titles do you have in mind for your series? Just curious.

Off the top of my head, Help! (1965 Beatles film), Broken Blossoms (1919 D.W. Griffith/Lillian Gish), The Third Man (1949 Joseph Cotten/Orson Welles), The Bank Dick (1940 W.C. Fields film - source for my name), Duck Soup (1933 Marx Bros.), Metropolis (1927 Fritz Lang), The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Court Jester (1956, Danny Kaye), Treasure Island (1950 Disney), Sunrise (1927, F.W. Murnau), Being There (1979, Peter Sellers), Around the World in 80 Days (1956, David Niven/Cantinflas), Arsenic and Old Lace (1941 Cary Grant/Frank Capra)... maybe Napoleon (the epic 1927 Abel Gance film). Oh, and I almost forgot The Old Dark House (1932 James Whale/Karloff)
I actually starting shooting footage in October for The Bank Dick, but between my camera having terribly noisy audio and not having good editing resources, I scrapped it. Now that I've learned a lot about Sony Vegas and Audacity, I can do anything now. The biggest perk is that I can finally filter my audio to be crystal clear without the camera noise. Vegas will make editing simple, too.
The whole point is that I want to get people to see these films and discover them. I'm always on a crusade to get films released or released in their intended form. If a film can't be seen the way it was meant to be by the filmmakers, it might as well not be seen at all. As for "Thief," I'm still shocked that the cut versions gained a fan following. I think that's a sign of a truly great film if even that much of a mangling can still gain fans. The number of people I get interested or even get them to love the film is growing by the week.
By the way, I'm going to try to see if I can conduct an Atlanta screening of the final recobbled cut. I found that there's quite a lot of Something Awful "goons" in the area. If I can get permission to use one of the high-tech screening rooms at GSU, it would be neat.
