We are one of a kind now aren´t we?
Have always seen myself as a huge movie fan, watching movies, writing reviews, looking at covers, rating covers, feeling covers, sleeping with vhs covers.. woh woh.. now I´m getting way out of hand - better erase..damn it, couldn´t do it.
Yeah I have slept with the vhs of Howard the duck... and Exorcist...and cannibal holocaust... can we pleeeeeeeeease move on to the topic now?
Soooo.. was watching a video of jamesnintendonerd - cinnemassacre´s videos, he shows his different formats and versions of movies, beta tape, vhs, dvd, laserdisc and something I never heard of before (CID - a gigantic disk, you know those old disk you had on your computer that had a saving capicity of 3.14MB... the CID however is as big - sizeway - as an LP or laserdisc and could contain much more information bla bla and so on)
Anyway, the most of us I guess, have allready seen some videos of him talking about his passion for movies. So let´s leave it there.
As wroten above (or do you say before?)..
Anyway, have always loved movies, not much into collecting untill recent years.
Some movies I have different "versions" of, different covers and stuff.
So, why do we buy all these different covers anyway it is after all the same movie - different covers may vary from different country/region and/or ofcourse different reeleases such as newer format or special anniversiry for the movie. Still, it is the same movie.
Interresting indeed to think about, or else I wouldn´t writing this.
For me it is mostly the feeling of "maby this reelease is a bit different???" As in new scenes, better quality in sound picture.. or whatever reason it may be.
Never have had any interrest in having different reeleases of a movie "to show off", it is for myself I buy the movies, sure if I can get someone interested in some sort of movie - whatever genre it may be - that is just a bonus, if the movie is good that is.
So, wich is the ultimate movie to own on different formats? I don´t think that movie does exist, some movies will never get an dvd or blue ray reelease (sadly so or the copy is so limited and or out of print so it is more or less impossible to get your hand on) also notable is that I do not yet own any blue ray movie or player, in time I will though.
Some movies, the old classics have the advantage to have multiple reeleases as for beta, vhs, laserdisc, dvd and even on blue ray.
Some movies are on the other hand, not the movie itself, but the whole collecting thing is getting way out of hand.
Not really sure about the exact number here but for the lord of the ring trilogy, how many times did they put those movies out anyway?
The theatrical version
the special version
Directors cut version
Gollum version
Overload massive version
Directurs cut version of theatrical version
Theatrical version of the directurs cut version
Gollums dvd version
??????
Now the big big blockbuster avatar (now pay me some money mister Cameron, this is the second time i "advertise" for your "big big gigantic smurf pocahontas version") is being put up once again in the theaters this summer. Wow, the movie have just got premiere - actually some months ago - and they allready gonna show it again?
Well One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Milos Forman movie, was actually up in theaters for 10 years in stockholm sweden. I doubt that avatar is as good as that though.
But what do I know?
I only buy good movies anyway.
The top picture of the 3 girls are from the movie Marock.
A short synopsis;
A muslim girl falls in love with an jewish boy.
So, unite people. Movies may be just movies - they can give us hope, dreams, fantasys, nightmares, scares.. mentaly as physical, laughter, tears. Some actually at the same time
