A) Has Romero ever said what he thought of Argento's cut? B) What is the true director's cut? Is it the Cannes print (that is available on dvd here and there) or the 127 minute cut? C) What is the cut you prefer? -- gr, Martin Koolhoven >> Stay informed about: Romero's Dawn of the Dead

Anybody who knows whether I should wait for the new Anchor bay release? I've got the Dutch DVD, including the 139 cannes-cut and Argento's version (which I found inferior). I haven't got the theatrical cut. Is it worth while waiting or should I just by the divimax Anchor Bay DVD? -- gr, Martin Koolhoven >> Stay informed about: Romero's Dawn of the Dead

An overrated thriller for sure. I take it this is all referring to the 1968 Romero film and not the remake. >> Stay informed about: Romero's Dawn of the Dead

I haven't seen the Dutch DVD, but I've heard the quality suffers. It may be worth waiting if you like the movie. It's only in Sept the box is coming out, but then again it could be pushed back... It is Anchor Bay, afterall. --- Cheers! M. www.cultstitch.com >> Stay informed about: Romero's Dawn of the Dead

>the divimax Anchor Bay DVD? I got this at Target for a measly $12.99, and it looks fabulous; the director commentary is pretty dry, but it's certainly worth buying. _Shell anonymous posters are cowards >> Stay informed about: Romero's Dawn of the Dead

"Martin koolhoven" wrote in message > A) Has Romero ever said what he thought of Argento's cut? I have yet to hear of his opinion of it, but from what I've been told, there's about 12 different editions floating about. > B) What is the true director's cut? Is it the Cannes print (that is > available on dvd here and there) or the 127 minute cut? The Cannes print is often called the "Director"s Cut", and will probably be re-released in the USA on DVD this Autumn. Romero considers the "U.S. Theatrical version" to be his definitive edit. > C) What is the cut you prefer? The Cannes edit, but only for this exchange of dialogue: Police Captain (on bullhorn): "Martinez! The people in this project are your responcibility! We don't want any of them hurt...and neither do you!" Roger (to himself): "I'm givin' you three minutes, Martinez." Police Captain: "I'm givin' you three minutes, Martinez! Turn over your weapons and surrender!" Roger: "There's no charges against you." Police Captain: "There are no charges against you or any of your people!" Roger: "Yet." >> Stay informed about: Romero's Dawn of the Dead
