Of course, the main proof we have that "Superman IV" ran at least 120 minutes long comes from two different sources: a Starlog blurb that appeared at the time of the film's release stating that 30 minutes of footage was cut from the film, and Alexander Courage's statement to Jeff Bond in &...

SUPERMAN IV does not surprise me in terms of there being no officially completed "long cut," I'm guessing a lot of those deleted scenes are unfinished or required more work -- it's not like the TV edits of SUPERMANs I-III, even though people have pushed unsubstantiated rumors for years th...

Re: Warner Home Video unveils a "Superman" 14-disc

Is it me or do you find it curious that they're doing a "Donner cut" of SUPERMAN II even though a) Donner never completed the movie b) Donner has little interest in revisiting it c) someone else at Warner is re-cutting the material Andy, as long as Richard Donner gives his blessing to the...

Re: DUNE SE!

Andy, thanks for the PM! I can understand your thoughts about the DVD, and at the least we can agree to disagree, which I'm fine with. I checked on www.dugpa.com (the David Lynch web site), and it had been erroneously reported from Universal that the extended cut was in 1.85:1; thankfully, that was ...

Re: DUNE SE!

Bottom line: the best DUNE to date on DVD anywhere (mainly because of the Widescreen TV cut). Andy, my friend, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I just got my review copy yesterday, and this release is far from where it should have been. The supposed 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer for the ...

Re: THE NEW WORLD

The previews I'd seen for it thus far have looked interesting, but I lost all interest in this film immediately when I saw that Colin Farrell was in it. I cannot stand him at all. :x Count me out of this one.

Re: Titanic Special Edition DVD

What's on the fourth disc are the three Titanic spoofs - the MTV Movie Awards skit with Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and James Cameron; the Saturday Night Live skit with Bill Paxton reprising his role as Brock Lovett; and the animated "Titanic in 30 Seconds with Bunnies" - all of them hidden...
