Wow indeed.

I guess one knows that they're pulling out all the stops whenever "ultimate" is thrown onto the DVD title. I never really caught onto this film like many others have, but perhaps it is time for another rental.

This is a really impressive set plus it seems to be reasonably priced (at least on Amazon). Does anyone know if the "workprint version" on the 5th disc is worth the extra cash?

You'd think that at this time of year, it would be easy to find A Christmas Carol (1951) but I can't find it anywhere!

Depends on your level of fandom. As I understand it, for some hardcore Blade Runner fans, it's somewhat of a Holy Grail in terms of the different cuts of the film. Apparently, it was only shown publicly once (by accident, no less), and since then, it kind of passed into legend and fans have been clamoring for a version of it on video.

Then again, I guess if you're more of a casual fan that's not too concerned about seeing every single version of the film, it may not be worth it. Still, you get a sexy DVD set if you go all in.

The sequel however is pure garbage.

Just finished watching another new DVD to add to my Universal monster film collection: Son of Frankenstein. Made the year Hitler marched into Poland to plunge the world into monstrousness never before experienced, the setting in this film is appropriate; storm clouds in this German locale constantly present, rain threatening to consume everything, dead stunted trees like those in no man's land. And yet at the culmination, what was the point? The sequel to Frankenstein brought up all manner of questions to do with
God, mortality, knowledge and passion. This only serves to have the
monster as background filler, a hired goon for Ygor. For this he
survived? Lionel Atwill is, as ever, the overpowering star, lending his immense talents to every part he played which stands the test of time. Rathbone is expected to ham up before Vincent Price came along to take up the chore, and Lugosi provides strong support in arguably his greatest role. Karloff, a truly versatile and intuitive actor (only see his role in the Mummy to see humanity in a world of darkness and evil) is utterly wasted and is left to mime his part. Peter von Frankenstein is EASILY the most annoying, hateful child ever, beating even Sophia Coppola's cringe-inducing 'performance' in another triquel.

Thanks. My curiosity will probably get the best of me - how can you resist checking out the Holy Grail of Blade Runner cuts?
