Director's -- and then the editor -- may change it, but this is really the writer's job. Remember these movies start FROM A SCRIPT!

(Why do people still think directors do everything. )

Sorry, I'm a little sensitive about this for obvious reasons.

It only takes a writers' strike to prove that the script is all important because everything grinds to a halt. EVERYTHING!

The stuff that does come out during a writers strike is also terrible.

Well that, and also "Star Trek: The next Generation" Season Two which was produced during a writers strike is generally considered the worst of all the TNG Trek seasons.

Regarding OHMSS, Peter Hunt said at a 1994 Convention in LA that the first cut of OHMSS was 3 1/2 hours long. THAT's the version I want to see.

Ah. Cheers, stromberg.

[zencat]

Yes, thank you stromberg. I have the VHS, but I'd love it on DVD. Thanks.

You're welcome, folks. Thought that this was general knowledge.

I got my copy earlier this year (thanks to the help of doublenoughtspy, as I have no paypal acount). I found it to be quite interesting, not as bad as most people think. It takes a few minutes to get used to the quality, but it's not too bad, considering that it comes from a Betamax tape that is about 25 years old. Highly recommended.

Pretitle?? How does it start/flow?? WTF???

Considering Cubby Broccoli hated the thing and hit the roof back in 1976, it's doubtful we'll ever see this anywhere but on a bootleg video. Kind of like the Bond series version of the Star Wars Holiday Special, though not nearly as painful.

I suppose some of you chaps like the ABC version of YOLT, where the capsule gets captured after the title sequence.
