Cool. Did you record it? If not, what channel was it on and is it going to be on again anytime soon?
I didn’t record it, though it is on a few more times this month. I don’t have the ability to get the recording off the PVR though. It’s the Canadian channel Hollywood Suite, I believe they also stream it off their website.
I don’t know if this would be of any help, but I caught Highlander on TV and it was the theatrical cut, in widescreen and HD. It also has the shot of the cop spilling coffee on himself, and presumably has the unaltered effects shots at the end.
What country is it being streamed in? It isn’t streaming in my country.
Sorry, forgot to mention that, it’s streaming on Canadian Netflix.
“Older 1.33:1 master” meaning SD or is it already HD?
I’m not sure. Netflix doesn’t say it’s HD, and it looks like it’s in SD.
Not sure if this is of interest to anyone, but Psycho is currently streaming on Netflix Canada in an older 1.33:1 master. Might be good for preserving a copy of it, if anyone can capture off of Netflix.
Can someone post where this announcements is? I’d love to read the announcement myself.
I’m sorry, but I’m not quite sure what it looks like. Don’t worry about finding it, it can wait till your house move is done.
No that’s ok. The extra gore scene is when the doctor character is stabbed on a wall of horns inside the Marsten house by Straker. It happens in/during the climax.
Interesting. I wonder if Ronster’s DVD copy has that extra gore, or if his version is more like the 3 hour cut on Blu-Ray?
Very interesting, thank you. Strange that Part 1 would start with a preview/recap of part 1. You’d think that would spoil some of the film. Thanks for the info!
If you do check, could you check how part 1 ends and part 2 begins? Where does part 1 finish, and are its end credits the same as part 2? How does part 2 start? Does it have a recap or any footage before the main title, and are the main titles the same as part 1?
Thanks, and again, if it’s to much trouble don’t bother.
I am in a bit of a mess though moving house so If I don’t find it then sorry for this. But If I do find it then I will update you on this.
Alright, thanks! And don’t go through to much trouble to find it, this isn’t urgent or anything.
For those who are not aware, Salem’s Lot, in its original TV broadcast, was a two-part broadcast, shown one week apart in 1979. In the version of Salem’s Lot currently available on DVD and BluRay, the film has been edited into one whole 3 hour movie, with no interruptions. What I’m curious is, has the film ever been released as two separate parts on home video, with Part 1 and Part 2 being their own separate things. I remember reading that the UK DVD had this two part copy: can anyone confirm this? Is that copy available online or to purchase anywhere? I’d love to see this version.
Thanks!
