I wish! Since it is Disney, I am guessing never...unless LLL gets their hands on it and does a three or four disc spectacular 20 to 30 years from now.

I haven't in decades and never will moving forward. Zero interest.

Re: "No demand for theatrical cuts of the OT", sez Favreau

The interest in the original cuts of the film are likely localized among the older generation of fans...those films came out 40+ years ago. And that generation (of which I am a part) is not getting any younger. I have no empiric data to back any of this up, but I imagine it would be a waste of money...

Honestly, I don't understand corporate culture at all. Tell me what positive things she has done which would warrant a send-off like this? I just don't get it.

Re: Ian Fleming Bond Books To Be Rewritten By "Sensitivity Readers"

I hope in a generation or two from now people will look at all this nonsense and laugh hysterically at how stupid these organizations were. Either that, of there won't be anything to look back-on, because the originals will have been criminalized, or destroyed altogether -- and that's what chills m...

Sounds like Daniel Craig had something to do with this...lol... Frankly, I am surprised it took them this long. I have the Fleming novels in their original form, unedited. I guess those will be collector items sooner than later. I expect LIVE AND LET DIE to get heavy editing...probably YOU ONLY LIVE...

Re: Here Comes LORD OF THE RINGS...Again :(

Personally, I would love to see a group of animated films based on the books. The live action stuff would be boring. Were you thinking CGI, or traditional cell animation? Live action or animated, I've honestly always felt that LOTR doesn't lend itself well to cinematic adaptation, owing to its leng...

It looks like Superman II has the Donner cut as well as the theatrical cut? Is that right Andy?

Re: RIP Burt Bacharach - Appreciation Thread

Truly one of the most gifted composers out there. And a big HELL YEAH! to Arthur's Theme...great tune. The Carpenters recorded a medley of BB/Hal Davis songs. And it was The Carpenters that made (They Long To Be) Close To You the hit that it should have been...one of the greatest songs BB/Davis ever...

Re: Disney to Layoff 7000; Disney+ Subs Fall For The First Time

Me too...but it just goes to show that the general population has a massive amount of power they don't often use...that power is in their wallets. If you don't like the agenda, stop paying for it...they will listen to money gains and losses, not complaining on social media or wherever else.

Re: AMC to Introduce "Dynamic Seating" Pricing For Movie Theaters By End of 2023

If the younger generation wants to throw its money out the window and support this type of thing, then more power to them.

Re: "Spielberg's Flop Era" - Telegraph Editorial

Totally forgot about THE TERMINAL - I like that late period work too...and the score is outstanding! MUNICH (aside from the cringe-worthy sex scene) is one I have enjoyed watching several times, especially when one looks at the film from the perspective of what he does with his typical family subtex...
