Hello! Could you share your sources for writing an article on "Ben-Hur"? I really liked it, but there are no links in it, but I would like to know where the information came from.

Hey man, Hope all is well. left you a PM in reply to your comment on Alice 2's lack of 3D.

I agree with a lot of the points, somebody is unrelenting, Disney should fire the individual responsible or his or her team, and use its entire power on that person to be sure it never happens again

I read again your review of 'Marriage Italian Style' from 2011.
Do you have any info on the 4k restoration release?
Who gets the rights, when, and why the holdup?

In your article "Hell Upside Down: The Making of The Poseidon Adventure" you write, "The film is very similar to the novel, except that several characters were excised from the book when the screenplay was written. There was a character named Susan Shelby who was raped, a relative (Robin Shelby) who dies, and a Reverend Scott who commits suicide." Yes, there are characters that were removed from the story for the film, but the three you mention were most definitely in the movie. Susan was played by Pamela Sue Martin, Robin was played by Eric Shea, and the priest you mention was played by Gene Hackman. Robin and Susan's parents were not in the movie and a playboy named Huey was replaced in the story as Nonnie's love interest by Martin, played by Red Buttons, who is also in the book but becomes a composite of both characters.

I'm a retired rocket scientist and the 'space consultant' for NBC News. I'm researching the life of astronaut Gordon Cooper, and I want to ask about this quotation you attribute to him at http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=7977

section: UFO'S, The Controversial Phenomenon

"Intelligent beings from other planets regularly visit our world in an effort to enter into contact with us...NASA and the American government know this and possess a great deal of evidence. Nevertheless, they remain silent in order not to alarm people...I am dedicated to forcing the authorities to end their silence." — Gordon Cooper, astronaut, at a UFO conference.

Now, I've been shown letters that indicate that Colonel Cooper has denounced this quotation as bogus, and even [in 1977 or so] filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against Columbia Pictures to prevent its use in promotional materials.

What about the source of that quote & about resolution of the lawsuit?

Dear Robert Siegel,

Could you create "The Silver Screen" article about
Disney's 1973 animated movie "Robin Hood"?

Hey,

I wanted to say thanks for that great read on Frankenstein...wonderfully assembled. I loved all the rare posters and newspaper ads...

Please tell me you have part 2 lined up?

Thanks again...great work.

The Cap'.

Continuing to enjoy your material. Really enjoyed the "Raiders" and "Titanic" articles. Keep up the great work!

Excellent article on Cinerama! Being from Seattle (I was born here), I think it important to note that the Seattle Cinerama theater is the only existing Super Cinerama facility. Thanks!
