Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Actually, you can set Quicktime to save movies in your disk cache...so once it's played, check "Temporary Internet Files," it's usually there (although the RotS trailer didn't show up there for me).I've already done that, but with Windows XP, for some reason there are no files at all in my Temporary Internet Files.

Henry B 50 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Um...that can't be right. I have Windows XP, and the TIF show up fine. Go to "Folder Options," and make sure you uncheck any file-hiding options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Have you actually seen the 1977 version?Have you?Is this just some random whining for the sake of tampering with the original version or do you have a legitimate reason to prefer that one.All I remember of it is that Roy building the mountain in his living room was way too long a scene.K.M.

A24 4,367 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 How can one see the 1977 version of Close Encounters? You had to be there ... in the theater! ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I have a bootleg tape of it at home.And it was broadcast last year on Belgian television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,367 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 There was once a fan website about CE3K. There I've read about the many different versions, and I can tell you, chances are very slim that this was the original version. I think they already altered the editing during its first release. It's very difficult, even for biggest CE3K fans, to establish what precisely was original or not. One thing is for sure: the original 1977 Theatrical Release has never been broadcasted.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This scene appears ONLY in the theatrical cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 How can one see the 1977 version of Close Encounters? You had to be there ... in the theater! The CLV Criterion LD featured the closest release ever of the 1977 cut. A handful of shots from the SE were left in at Spielberg's request.For more CE3K info, read this.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Thats right.WotW looks like it s a real Spielberg film finally.I wonder if we shuld worry about Williams name not in the credits,reallyK.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxbabe 28 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The CE3K link cleared up some things I was curious about, such as the pillow mention, it bites that was cut. I didnt realize it had been had savaged in that way, why not just include all that stuff on the DVD, the big feature of DVD is including deleted scenes etc, would it have been that difficult to include the cut scenes from the theatrical version or the laserdisc or whatever?A couple of the cuts, I could understand, but jeez...ridiculous. I dont think WOTW is going to be happy go lucky aliens coming to say hello. (I hope not) I also hope they will show up later rather than sooner...looking at the trailer, seems therell be the nasty process of discovering the aliens are in our backyard, making for some suspense.Greta - who feels like a first grader having to go without apostrophes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I like how KM now puts a space where apostrophes should go, while the commas are as close as ever to the letters that follow. Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 It would have been better if the lines running across the screen had said "Cruise... Spielberg... Williams". Or better yet, just "Spielberg... Williams" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Of course, the majority of people would go "Who is this Williams, then?" - Marc, who wants his punctuation back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,367 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Wow, talk about bad taste! It looks like a bad Mel Brooks poster. Really, this second poster is hideous! Please, I take back what I said about the first one. Bring it back! That's right, John, Life of Brian! Wrong feeling for Spielberg's movie.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
