  Yeah, the 98 version.     Sad attempt with the CGI. Only good part was the helicopters did more damage than Godzilla! 

Looks like tomorrow is going to be a Godzilla fest!

Hm. Big day tomorrow.

Ed Wood
Van Helsing
Hellboy Special Edition

VH is alright, but it would have been alot better had it been more serious and had fewer monsters in it. They should have spaced them out over a few films or something.

Impressive, that is Ran the Kurasawa film, correct?  If, so was it the Criterion Collection and if you do not mind me asking, what did it run?

DBK

Other recent aquisitions of the last 5 ir 6 weejs...:

Ran

It is a Kurosowa film - sort of Kurosowa does Shakespeare.  The version of Ran that I ordered is the 'Masterworks' edition.  It cost me a whopping $0.49 since it was a free selection for rejoining Columbia House.  I do have the Seven Samurai Criterion Collection though - it cost me somewhere around $35.00 when I bought it two or three years ago.

I forgot to mention that we're also getting Van Helsing tomorrow - but since I buy almost all the movies, the girlfriend is picking up that one.

BTW, if anyone is interested in joining Columbia House, PM me for details.  It's a great deal and I don't mind pimping it since I'd get two free picks for anyone that signed up as a referral from me.

[Rob]

Just a heads up.

Target is selling The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly this week for $7.50

They're selling the cheap one - but the ad shows the picture of the expensive extended edition in the big box.

If your target has it, I'm pretty sure you could show them the ad and make them sell you the nice one for $7.50

Picked up Hellboy Director's cut today. Looks pretty sweet so far, but there seems to be a couple extras on the original theatrical release that didn't cross over, so I'm going to have to keep both. Love the packaging on this bad-boy though. 

Also picked up this little precious gem today, not because it's a good movie, but:



Keira Knightley...

Nekid.

Thank you, God.

[Jim]

For anyone who has Underworld Uncut and HellBoy Uncut, can you send me some feedback?  I have both basic versions and love them both and am considering the Uncut versions.  Anyone?

[JediMAC]

Keira Knightley...

Nekid.

Thank you, God.

When's the next movie night Jared?  Better be real soon!

I've seen pix from that flick, but it's not available in the U.S. as far as I know.  Was that an import you snagged?

[SilverZ]

Matt, it's actually out in the US today, with all scenes included.  You need to come down sometime soon anyway and check out a flick, so lmk.

Rebeltrader, I've heard pretty negative things on the Underworld DC, enough that I didn't pick it up (and I buy pretty much anything that's shovel to my consumer ass). The general jist was there wasn't enough material added to have any impact on the story and people were feeling ripped off by it. Here's some guy's quick account of what is back in Hellboy from HTF:

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!


*** Marks the footage included in the DELETED SCENES of the first release DVD.

1) Just an extra 2 shots of the EYELESS Christ at the 1944 prologue.

2) Extra footage in the exploration of the Ice Cave. ***

3) Rasputin is revealed to have lost his eyes. (Watch the 1944 "sucked in" footage of Rasputin to see the PG-13 version of said idea)

4) Broom is told EXACTLY how long he has left and he takes a decision about how to spend his last days.

5) Added footage at the entrance of the MACHEN LIBRARY, We see the BPRD "sealing" the courtyard area befor HB and Abe come out of the Garbage truck.

6)Rasputin Ilsa and Kroenen are seen in the underground area that HB will explore later. Reveal of Rasputin wearing GLASS EYES. SAMMAEL duplication made clearer.

7) Longer scene between HB and Myers outside the hospital. Origin of the nickname "Boy scout"

Extended scene between Liz and Myers at the mental hospital. We see Liz playing w/ some rubber bands on her wrist.

9) Scene in a taxi cab between Liz and Myers ***

10) Added beats at Liz´s arrival at BPRD

11) Scene between Myers and Liz Re Rubber bands.

12) Extra scene depicting Hellboy´s escape from his cell.

13) Broom reacts to Hellboy´s escape.

14) Hellboy extra footage as he spies on Liz and Myers.

15) Extra Line from Broom to Rasputin after the Apocalypse vision.
Also, The apocalypse footage is played with NO DIALOGUE over it.

16) Russian Warehouse scene. Origin of the Portal Stone ***

17) Extra footage on Jeffrey Tambor´s lines in the cemetery. 2 instances.

18) Hellboy steps on Rasputin´s glass eye. Rasputin is seen with one empty eye socket.


These scenes total about 15 minutes of footage. I may have neglected an event or two, but this is pretty much the guideline.

Marco Beltrami´s music is preserved completely except for the reprise after main credits which was not an original piece anyway. Marco composed a couple of new themes for the added footage, namely RUSSIAN WAREHOUSE.

Thanks for the feedback Jared.

Keira Knightley...

Good god, I must own this movie.

[Scott]

Wait now...how come I haven't heard about this before?  And why am I sitting here typing about this when I could be trying to beat Super Macho Man?
