I found Explorers via Usenet... it's 14 gigs and it's from HDNET Movies in 1080i according to the description. It has the bug in the lower right corner that says "HDNet Kidscene" which kinda sucks. It's the best I've seen it look to date. On another note, does anybody have an opinion regarding Black Christmas (1974). I'm just asking because it has been said that the original mono on the BD is the way to go, as the remix used stems from a workprint and tampers with the balance of many scenes. I had never seen this film in my life and just watched it. Man that was scary. Even today. I can only imagine what the reaction was like in '74. The remix didn't hurt the experience but I know I should stick to the mono. It seems that there are some sync issues with the remix on the retail BD but there also seems to be some slightly suspect ADR as well. I'm new to Black Christmas so maybe you guys know, but I love the film anyway. In the documentary the director Bob Clark says that he met John Carpenter on a project and John asked him about a sequel to Black Christmas as it's open ended to some degree depending on how you look at it. Bob said that if he did do a sequel he would set it on Halloween night a year after the murders when the deranged killer escapes and goes back to his home town. A sequel was never made of course. I don't know if the story is true but that's what Bob Clark said in the documentary during his interview. Halloween does owe a bit to the style of Black Christmas clearly. When A Stranger Calls also lifted the central premise. I love John Carpenter's stuff so I figure they were just really creative guys who wanted to tell these stories. Bob Clark seemed like a good man. Rest easy friend.
