What Have You Bought Recently?

True Romance is very soft looking on blu-ray.Some reviews have mistaken it for DNR but it's apparently the way it was filmed.

I like you,Clarence.Always have.........Always will.

Just bought new Total Film and got Letter of the Month so looks like I'm getting a copy of Jennifers Body on DVD!

It pays to have the odd wee rant now and again!

It's what fast forward was invented for.

From 9am-6pm yesterday I watched THE GODFATHER trilogy.
The best it's ever looked and sounded.

Recently watched "The Godfather" in it's normal theatrical version (not something I have done for years and years) on the DVD Coppola Restoration and I have to say....it lacked what I had become used to, namely all those fantastic extra scenes that were in the TV 'The epic' version.

The film somehow felt incomplete without such superb sequences as The Don visiting the dying 'consiliere' Genco where in a great moment showing just what power The Don has Genco pleads with him to stay by his bedside so that when Death comes he will see The Don and be too scared to take Genco.

The loss of this scene also makes it very strange as far as Michael and The Don goes, as without their scene together outside in the corridor, despite Michael coming down for the wedding, The Don and Michael never ever meet until late in the film while The Don is recovering.
It's just weird not to have them talk during Michael's wedding trip.


I wish to hell Coppolla would pull the finger out of his arse and redo 'The Epic' on DVD...The film's seem incomplete to me now without these extra scenes. Hell in "G 2" we will no longer see the treasonous bodyguard who tried to blow up Michael assassinated, or a lot of top drama/plot sequences.

Even if he wanted to lose the consecutive timeline editing of 'The Epic' (all the DeNiro parts appear first before we go into "G 1") and do it as the theatrical cut of "G 2"...he could at least include all the extra scenes.

Hey ho...

Still classic though....
Yeah all those little extra scenes were superb to see.
You're right.With the technology of Blu Ray,it should give you the option....

And with regards to The Godfather,the added resolution of blu-ray gives you some pretty nice looking player-generated subtitles.I had to look very closely to check see if they were in fact player-gen or burned in,unlike dvd player-gen subs which are ugly as hell.

Those two scenes definitely belonged in the movie. The killing of Fabrizzio the bodyguard even appeared in Mario Puzo's novel (though he's shot in the head in the book) and it was crazy to have left it out of the film.
