The poster said the picture floats right off the screen, and boy they weren't kidding. I was sitting about 60 feet from the screen. The opening scene with the airplane wing about 2 feet from my face. The tray of beers floating under you nose. And in another section where a pair of hideous hands actually looked like they touched my throat. Its a movie I never forgot. However I was sad to hear that the original cuts taken from the road show are no longer available. They did help explain the story. I bought the analgraph Rhino DVD, but the 3d was terrible. It also made the story a little harder to follow. I think the actors did a terrific job, but you need a good imagination to follow the story. The first time I went to see it I sat through the movie 3 times. I went back to see it the next weekend a watched it 3 more times. In other words I thought it was a great movie and still do. Thanks Bob for bringing a great movie to Blue Ray. First day it is available for pre order it will be a must buy.

That's very interesting, thank you for sharing your memories.
