Old Memories...

This film is remade and on it's way to spectatorship. How sad that is. It's definitely finding it's final re-introduction to society. I always thought that was what we would have had when it was released in 1999 on DVD. I know I got my copy then. Still have it too. I remember when this film was SO hard to find. It was only available on the Warner Home Video, and that was mostly for rental purposes. I would often catch the film on the Television, edited, but accessible. I caught another edited TV version taken from the 1999 DVD circa '04 or so. That was odd. More was edited out, but the condition was better than that of the former TV version. Before 1999, you were lucky if you caught the film at all, be it on TV, or if you ran across the VHS in an old rental place in the middle of nowhere. It was that rare at one point, but time has been kind to it in many ways. Almost too kind, when you consider how ridiculous it is that audiences seem to warrant it again, in the form of a remake, the biggest insult to films of it's kind. In 3-D no less! Just gimmicks and money-making. That's the biz though. It might be fun for audiences, but this guy isn't buying it. What should done, is a re-release on the big screen, so the film can be endured by the public again, the way it was intended. Oh well, I still have my memories, and that's enough for me.
