The Japanese LD is the same print source, but it's hard to say for sure it's better than the U.S. release. It's a little disheartening I can see more fine detail in what erri_wan sent me.

I'm still waiting on that Betamax tape to show up.

I probably won't be able to send anything out to msycamore until next week. After Thanksgiving and the first weekend of holiday madness here has passed. Wish I could play "Buy More! Buy More Now!" over the P.A. system at the mall. ;)

Interesting things keep popping up on ebay.

Some nice sets of stills

The original pressbook. I've been intrigued by these things ever since Criterion put one on the Robinson Crusoe on Mars Laserdisc.

And this one just made me crack up. I'll let you figure out why. ;)
