Aug 6 07 5:04 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* The Image DVD is real nice picture- and sound-wise. And there's also a still gallery that even features a few behind-the-scenes shots. Yeah, the Image is the one that looks best from what I've seen. As Tom said, it's got a nice still gallery with cool shots of the monster behind-the-scenes, as well as Mr. Weaver's informative liner notes. The only thing I would say is that the cover sucks!!! :-D ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

If you want completeness, get the earlier VHS Wade put out. It's from 16mm, but it is complete. It's a shame that WW is so stingy about putting money into the films he owns (or at least owns elements of). He'd be making a better reputation for himself if he put an iota of more effort forward. I'm sure a new restoration of MARS off of the original Cinecolor elements would be very nice. J. Theakston The Central Theater, Passaic, NJ

(If nothing else, substitute the 16mm segments for the missing material.) And yet, several years ago, he and Bob Burns took the time, trouble and expense to shoot NEW material for ROCKETSHIP X-M and cut it into the film. (Which always kind of surprised me to think either of them would tamper with a classic.)

It's exactly what I'd expect from Williams. I think Bob was a hired hand on the project, and went along with it because he knew if he turned Williams down, he'd just try to find someone else.

In it, there was a piece that talked about how Wade Williams had long loved ROCKETSHIP X-M, and was really enthusiastic about having acquired the rights to it. Adding to his joy was that he had also managed to get his hands on the trailer to the film. (I think he even made a comment that he now owned every piece of film connected to the picture.) You almost come away with a sense of implied reverence toward the title.

Aug 27 07 2:02 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I had a copy, long ago (the first version I ever saw or owned), but it got traded off long ago. (I think my thinking at the time was, "It's not the original version, don't need it.") You're right, though; it did have some talented people involved.

(Which always kind of surprised me to think either of them would tamper with a classic." I share your "surprise". This kind of comportment is totally unforgivable. It's called revisionism. For my book these guys are in the same garbage box than Jerry Warren, Al Adamson and this kind of iconoclasts.

I didn't think Trudy's googly eyes and buck teeth get up could be topped, but then comes along the monster! What a beauty! Dressed in a rather fetching black rubber (or something) affair, complete with matching bolts. I really enjoyed this film. Particularly as it all unwinds at the end and every character suddenly starts doing the stupidest things possible - try and see how many you can count!

Mar 1 08 1:29 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I must have been about 9 or 10 living in Newark NJ when I caught up with FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER on Chiller Theater. I think the thing that scared me the most about this movie, was the suburban locales that were just like the ones I'd walk at night. My older brother & sister coming off the "Bobbie Soxer" craze into that late 50's delinquent rock & roll phase, would invite their friends over the house, who'd be the spittin' image F's D teenagers. It gave me the willies to think that something like this could happen a few doors down from my house. Unlike Universal's comfort of strange happenings in a far off safe Vasaria. "You can't smell any reefer, can you"?

Mar 1 08 5:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My Dear Herr Doktor Sknaggs, I had the same feeling when I first saw Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I was only seven or eight, but I knew that the setting didn't have the typical artificial feel of most movies, and that made it a lot more scary. Yers, E.Q.P., etc.

I couldn't agree with you more, SK, and you summed it up perfectly. That's exactly how I felt about the film the first time I saw it, living in Queens, New York.
