Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try to seek that episode out.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-85438962556417669362012-06-13T22:15:15.719-07:002012-06-13T22:15:15.719-07:00Catching up here, thanks for the shout out.

It feels like it was done by people who had no real feeling for the original.<br /><br />You should watch the B&W episode the idea of controlling the weather was taken from: Surfeit of H20. It would make a very nice balance to your recent screening.Mapeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149683683413237283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-46227644519269558462012-05-07T21:34:19.037-07:002012-05-07T21:34:19.037-07:00Beveridge--

But I'm very gratified that you liked the piece so much. And if you do wind up seeing it, well, I wish you the best. <br /><br />lrobhubbard--<br /><br />Yes, definitely some interesting history to whatever was going on with the film. The original cut may very well be better but there is still that lousy chemistry between the actors and other things that I'm guessing would still be present. If the script was considerably better then it really is too bad things turned out this way.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-78141358575380453532012-05-05T14:48:11.405-07:002012-05-05T14:48:11.405-07:00The visuals make it not a total loss, as well as J...The visuals make it not a total loss, as well as Joel McNeely's score - and having read Don MacPherson's original script, it is a case where it looks much better on paper... although one wonders what a director who really understood things might've done.<br /><br />I'd like to see that original cut - hamstrung as the movie is, they didn't do it any further favors by recutting.<br /><br />Some still keep the flame burning:<br />http://www.theavengers-movie.com/<br /><br />And cdnchris on the Criterion Forum board provides a pretty thorough history on how the movie was butchered:<br />http://www.criterionforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=387981lrobhubbardhttp://mimezine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-22936114912938689612012-05-03T19:47:14.658-07:002012-05-03T19:47:14.658-07:00I'm sorry that you are getting tired of writin...I'm sorry that you are getting tired of writing about films that don't work, because you do it so well. I was reading bits of this one out loud to Ms. Spenser.<br /><br />I guess you don't want to become the "watched this so you don't have to" guy. Maybe if you stuck to films that almost work, instead of total disasters like this.<br /><br />And, of course, you've made me want to see it, just to see how bad it could be...Beveridge D.
