I watched a few of the features on The Wizard of Oz Ultimate Collectors Edition DVD.

The Wizard of Oz (1910) - This was in REALLY poor quality and was kind of laughable (Most notably, the costumes).

Trailers - I watched all of the trailers, which were kind of interesting. A few trailers seemed recycled from older trailers.

A Twister A Twister - This was kind of boring. It was nothing but shots of the tornado scene.

Psycho (1960) - Theatrical trailer: I was surprised that this trailer was kind of long (around 6 minutes), but it was still interesting.

Star Wars Trilogy

Trailers - I watched all the theatrical trailers for all three films. I found them all interesting.

I also skimmed through the documentary Empire of Dreams to see how long it was (Over 150 minutes!).

I might eventually want to get the prequel trilogy on dvd.

Listened to the audio commentary for "The Best of Everything" which includes movie historian Sylvia Stoddard and original author Rona Jaffe. I had hoped the two would be in conversation but they were recorded separately. Jaffe (who sadly passed away a few months after the DVD was released) offers invaluable insights into the production; and Stoddard is always a pleasure. Smile

I don't have The Best of Everything on DVD, but do either of them discuss the short-lived 1970 soap opera on the commentary or is it limited to just the movie?

Aw, that's upsetting. Not a lot of information is available on the soap opera and beyond the brief pages devoted to it in The Soap Opera Encyclopedia and The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television, there's really nothing else.

Ooh, I'll have to give the Return to Peyton Place commentary a listen then! I can't believe I haven't listened to it yet!

I'm itchin' to get the Peyton Place DVDs, especially since the price is so right ($40 for 30-odd episode volumes!). Of course, it'll take awhile to collect ALL of them since there's 450 more episodes and two television movies that they still have to release!

I'm looking forward to seeing the "Peyton Place" series too, but it will be a while before I'll be picking them up. Been on a real melodrama bent at the moment, with "The Best of Everything" and the "Peyton Place" films.

Very Happy

Just watched the "Johnny in Bollywood" episode on the season 2 set of "Johnny Bravo"

this was a special episode of Johnny Bravo made for Cartoon Network India.

Johnny has a bad hair day as a result of a hair gel endorsed by a celebrity, and goes to Bollywood to untame his hair.

Just finished watching all the special features for Star Trek.

The deleted scenes were interesting, especially the ones where Nero was being held in the pison by the Klingons. I thought the new mask-look to the Klingons was interesting. It's too bad this squence got cut from the final film as it fleshed out Nero's character a bit more. Hope the Klingons get some screen time in the next Trek.

I watched some of the features on the Hyperion Studios bonus on the Snow White Blu-ray. It was cool to see some of the animated shorts in HD. There was a definite improvement when watching "Steamboat Willie."

I also watched the Rerun Van Pelt featurette on the new "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown" DVD.
