I don’t know, but I’ve read he wouldn’t speak to Kevin Reynolds after seeing it so I can’t imagine it changed much.

Spielberg didn't like it, but Tarantino absolutely loved it. Just more evidence that this is my kind of movie!

That was the VHS case I remember too.

Seems like the obvious bonus feature would be the original short from which this movie is based. The only bonus is the theatrical trailer. ��doh!

Not just that, but when it was shown on network television it had extra scenes included. These scenes can be found on YouTube in poor vhs quality. A missed opportunity, but - hey! - at least we're getting it in HD at last!

I've been pestering Warner Archive for years across all forms of social media for Fandango, to the point they were deleting my comments.

I can't help but feel like Tim Robbins in Shawshank when he writes a letter a week and finally gets his support for the library.

I wish WAC would add bonus features, their releases are so underwhelming compared to pretty much every other label out there. It's a sad day when Paramount steps up their game and surpasses you. (I'm talking about the Paramount Presents line)

Cheers
