scissorhands 16 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 But shall we have the 1982 version of the film? If so, will it have a shorter making-of due to the space of the film in the second disc?BTW, Luke, remember it was here the first place HP DVD was released. I know, it's only one exception. But there should be more expeptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 But be careful, the European 2 disc version doesn't contain the original version of the film I think.Marian - who will order the RC1 release.

Jim Ware 526 Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Some information on the DVD giftset content:1.The CD is the 20th Anniversary Edition. The CD insert is tucked into the folding 4-disc digipack.2.The ten minute John Williams interview contains some excellent footage, none of which I've seen before, including Williams demoing the themes to Spielberg, and some recording session footage.3.The featurette on the 20th Anniversary Edition premiere runs for around 17 minutes, and includes a great deal of rehearsal footage and footage from the actual performance. The overture is discussed, but only a small excerpt from it is shown. 4.The live score track is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 So really guys... what version should I get? All these reviews and reports are confusing me. 1. Will the US 2 DVD release contain both versions of the film or will I have to get the 4 disc set? From what I understand, the 2 disc set will have both versions?2. Will the US 2 DVD release have the live performance as well, or is that exclusive to the 4 disc set? From what I understand, you must get the 4 disc set to get this feature?Curious to get the answers before tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 It was confirmed last week that Spielberg suddenly decided to include the original 1982 version within the standard 2 disc set.Not sure about the live performance track, but think this is a standard feature on all releases.If I were you Chris i would go for the gift set. It is beautifully packaged, and features not just the script as originally announced, but rather a complete hard back book on the creation of ET (titled from concept to classic). The senitype is nothing special, but nice to have I suppose. The cd, well we all have that anyway - At least the JP box set had special artwork for the cd's, this is just the standard booklet with the cd itself treated as a fourth disc as part of the foldout DVD case (which is magnificently presented in a shiny silver format by the way)As Jim Ware states, the third disc features some fantastic and rare Williams footage, particularly of the original recording sessions (some of them filmed by Spielberg himself) and the performance of the flying theme (and others) by Williams on the piano is a real treat.The premiere featurette again includes some magnificent footage of the maestro, and includes rare footage of him at work rehearsing with the orchestra, ultimately culmunating toward the final edited performance on the premiere night. An emotional performance to say the least!It is great to see so much of this set devoting time to Williams, which indeed should be the case as most of us would consider his contribution to the film imperative in its success.The disc 1 live performance is great to have in 5.1, but does lack the impact of the original recording IMO. I suppose this is inevitable though, as they only had one take to record it! The spaceexploration feature is strictly for kids, as you probably guessed Disc 2 also features a 37 minute documentary from the laserdisc set a few years back.It has to be said that we can always rely on great Williams content on DVD's as long as Laurent Bouzereau produces the documentaries!

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Both US versions (2DVD and 3DVD+1CD) have the newer and the original version of the movie, and both have the live performance, according to everything I've read. The 2DVD set doesn't say anything about this, though some are supposed to have stickers about the original version being included. They do however claim to have the full 50 minute documentary, but it was shortened when the original movie version was included, to something below 30 minutes I think.So in addition to the soundtrack album, the printed script and a senotype (?), the more expensive set also has the full 50 minute documentary and a (10 minute?) featurette about Williams.To make things even more complicated, the 2DVD set has DTS tracks for both versions of the movie, while the 3DVD set only has one for the newer version.Marian - annoyed.

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 The only thing is, I probably can't afford the 3 disc set. Especially if the 2 disc set has both versions of the film AND the live performance. Since I already have the 20th anniversary soundtrack (and the 1996 version AND 3 copies of the 1982 version, LP and 2 different covered CDs). That seems like a high price to pay for the extras, even though I am interested in watching them.Plus, I gotta save money for the Transformers 2nd season Vol. 1 boxed set, Star Wars E2 DVD, possibly a video game system (the news of that Bounty Hunter game having unreleased music is forcing my previously undecided hand, LOL), and so on and so forth. :wow: Speaking of video game systems... which one should I get if I decide to get one? :? Why does all the good stuff have to come out JUST during the holiday season??? Arrgh! :oops: :roll: -Chris, Who just got the Jane Eyre DVD with Williams music last week.

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I'm leaning towards Playstation 2 because my Playstation 1 is old and over the hill and you can play the older games on it.These are the only games that I look to play:-The best NBA game every year (Usually NBA Live, but the AI of the defenses on them, and the ease of scoring always disappoint me.)-The best NFL game every year (Usually Madden.)-The most recent Zelda game (Is there one coming for Gamecube???)but occasionally...-Star Wars games that have unreleased music on them. (Otherwise, they bore me and I could care less about playing them. For me, it was more fun advancing in TPM game just to find and record missing music, as it was fairly annoying actually playing the damn thing. The annoyance factor always rises when you need to buy a $10 hintbook/stragety guide to even play a game, and even then get stuck!!! AARGH!!!)One more point... I do want a new and faster PC, but I don't have the money right now. My mom offered to buy me a video game system for Christmas, but shook her head at a new PC, so I'll have to wait until next summer when I have more money.

Morn 8 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 If you build a new pc, you can use components from the old one plus if you find a cheap computer market, you should be able to get a new one for like only $100 US more than a play station 2. Never buy brand name with a PC, they are only assemibled by the company anyway, a bunch of different people make the parts. And brand new pc's are rip offs.

Never buy brand name with a PC, they are only assemibled by the company anyway, a bunch of different people make the parts. And brand new pc's are rip offs. I know. I have at least 2 friends that are computer freaks, and they assemble their own PCs (and one of them is a computer-fix-it man by trade). They tell me that they could assemble a really sweet one for around $300-400, stripping a few things off my old PC, like my less-than-a-year-old CD-Recorder. I'd then give my old one to my bro, who I must sacrifice the PC to at least once a day for a few hours so he can chat with chicks online. I'm likely going to do this, but if I do, it would be either Christmas or next Spring/Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, too bad that Universal says they won't take it back; the law protects the consumers. This law is great, otherwise, many companies would make you believe that you're buying a Porche, when in fact, it's a Ford. Yes, there are many businesses out there that makes false claims, and operate based on that premise. Unfortunately there are more than we'd ever hope. But, if any of you are unlucky on your E.T. Gift package purchase, don't despair, take it back. Either the store or Universal have to eat it. Remember the law is protecting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
