I have the Laserdisc, the DVD of the Laserdisc, A 2nd Gen VHS copy of the un-modified 16 MM print, and a DVD boot of the un-mod 16 mm print.
I also have all the known out-takes from let it be that are in the hands of the collectors. I've been collecting Beatles for over 32 years..

Please forgive the bump, but I'm curious if you still have the DVD bootleg of the unmodified print? Would be a nice thing to pass along...

 

PM sent.

Let it Be, on what appeared to be a homemade LD transfer I borrowed from a friend (I HIGHLY doubt it was hers, probably her dad's.) Man, Paul was bossing everybody but Ringo around. No wonder they broke up. I liked how it was a documentary straight through - just the Beatles being the Beatles. Shame it probably won't get a proper release until they're all gone.

Somehow I missed this post. The BAD thing about this film is that it took almost everything out of context. It was the way it was edited. Paul sure does come across as being bossy, but he had good reason to be, and all the reasons are not shown. Conversations are also in fragments, so the viewer never gets to hear what is truly going on, and in the correct order of events. The real destructive fighting during theses sessions was between George and John. This is one of the many reasons this film is still held back for release.

For Babylon 5 Fans
Time

I just finished the series last week. What a tearjerker finally. That had to be one of the best story arc series ever produced.

Season 5 used to be my least favorite, but now after re-watching the entire series, season 5 has some of the best moments in the shows entire run.

I could never get into the stand alone story projects, such as the TNT films  and lost tales video.  Yet, I did like the re-edit of the Pilot and parts of "In The Beginning".

Nerds are more likely to be exposed to aspects of Japanese culture than other people.

Computer games, anime, manga, Japanese cinema (including the influence on a certain space opera series close to our hearts), even Japanese television and music have nerd appeal in the West.

So perhaps some sort of Nerd Aid would (though bordering on questionable taste) would raise a lot of money.

It would be a way of putting back into a culture that has given us so much joy while helping it during a time of terrible tragedy.

It's a shame that many of the creative activities engaged in here can not make money even for charity.

Well Look at this!!!
