A Poll About Robinson Crusoe on Mars
I'm writing a paper on Robinson Crusoe on Mars for a Tech Writing class I'm taking and I need to create a poll for it. So, I'm asking if you could answer my poll question on the film.

If you have a laser disc player, it might be advantagous for you to acquire the Criterion release of this film (the only release to laser disc). Very nice set of extras.

I've never seen it, but it's brought up so often, I'm ready to buy it sight unseen.

ya know, I distinctly remember in a chat somewhere, a long while ago, that when asked when RCOM was coming to DVD, the interviewee from Paramount claimed that 'the negatives where destroyed in a fire', AFTER the Criterion LD was made.-and that was that. No chance of a DVD.
I was always suspicious of that statement. It sounded to me that they just didnt give a damn, or thought it commercailly unfeasable, but didnt want to look foolish in front of movie buffs-
Does ANYONE remember this or am I smoking too much crack these days?

I didn't vote, because I'm afraid "no" would unfairly skew the results. It is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid, but having already spent $100 on the fantastic laserdisc complete with audio commentary, I don't think I have any need to own the DVD.

I also voted no simply because I've never seen the movie. It being an older sci-fi(?) movie and there being no nostalgia for me, I couldn't justify buying it. This doesn't mean I wouldn't watch it though.
The poll would maybe be more accurate if it read "Would you watch Robinson Crusoe on Mars if it were on DVD?"

I remember it best for it's use of the Martian Fighting Machines from the George Pal movie (the boomerang shaped bit, with a crystal added and without the metallic "snake" Heat Ray device).

Criterion confirms that this is coming next year in the addendum to their Dec. 06 newsletter: "There are many treasures in store for the new year, including some of our latest acquisitions, such as John Huston’s Under the Volcano, and titles from our laserdisc days, like Robinson Crusoe on Mars."
