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 ...

JURASSIC PARK 4 Ready To Roll

Having enjoyed JURASSIC PARK III far more than Spielberg's own LOST WORLD, I think there's hope for this fourth installment. I just wish that "dinosaur-men hybrids working for the military" plot that was rumored ISN'T what they're making. :shock: I suppose Ariana Richards doesn't act these...

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...

Great work Bill. That's good news -- I'm glad I don't have to re-buy SUPERGIRL again (unless they get the transfer right this time!). 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 re...

Well I am not as cynical as a few of you, so count me in the camp who wants to see another INDIANA JONES -- Janusz Kaminski's participation excepted :) I would think Spielberg has a bit more "quality control" over the script than Lucas (though WAR OF THE WORLDS does lead me to believe othe...

Thanks for the info, Andy. It looks like the version released in the "Trilogy" box set is unrated and anamorphic, but also "extended." Wonder what that's about. I don't believe the "new" version has been made available separate from the box set. There is a separate MGM...

MGM's DVD is unrated *and* 16:9 enhanced, and actually is superior to the Criterion disc for that reason (it also has a good amount of extras as well). The one sold here at least: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001VTPWM/qid=1140197060/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-6813939-5828956?s=dvd&v=glance&...

FREEDOMLAND: Junk of The Month

As if the movie's twist wasn't obvious from watching the trailer last year, it seems we have a new candidate for Worst Film of 2006 already. After AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS couldn't Hollywood have passed a law prohibiting Joe Roth from ever directing again? Or how about a film where Julianne Moore DOESN...

All true, Trevor, but I still hold this is the most obscure Bond cast I can recall being assembled. Check out the last paragraph announcing the cast -- sounds like something being shown late at night on the Independent Film Channel...not that it's bad, either, I agree, but it's still interesting.

Re: CASINO ROYALE Announces Villain...

It is a risk, to some degree, because people at least knew who Brosnan was. Having a virtual unknown in the lead, girl, and villain roles is really making you rely on the 007 brand name to sell it...I'm not saying you cast superstars, but one person with some familiarity in one of those parts is a ...
