Why would I get banned? I didn't do anything wrong - this is a forum to talk about DVDs and movies. I'm talking about movies. What airhead would think that there's anything wrong with that?

Uh, that moron was a mod/admin.

So you created another account to post in a thread about a movie you hate. Classic.

Dude, you are so banned.

I created another account to post...peroid.

I'm not going to let some idiot who doesn't know what the hell he's doing stop me - who does he think he is, Castro?

And stop deleting your posts to edit them. It looks ridiculous!

How about we move this thread to the movie forum? Since this isn't going to be released on DVD?

No, I don't. And I don't believe in starting redundant threads when you can just move already-available threads to the right folder of the forum. Moderation should be about keeping a message board tidy by merging threads, moving them to the right sections of the board, and deleting unwanted advertising, not about limiting free speech.

If you check out all the Howard actors entries on IMDB, you'll see that it's a midget and a bunch of puppeteers.

Does this website pick moderators out of a Special Ed class? You can't just ban someone for not doing anything wrong. That is not how we do things around here, stupid.

Here's the last thing I posted....

Moderation should be about moving threads to the correct forum folders, merging similar threads, and deleting unwanted advertising, not about limiting freedom of speech.
Someone thought that THIS was offensive? Dee dee dee!

I so want The Wizard on DVD. I remember going to see this for my birthday. I will proudly put it next to my Little Monsters DVD, but hopefully it would be in widescreen.

The guy who did the voice was Chip Zien who was in my class all through grade school and high school.

He has a part in the new United 93 movie. He's the passenger who gets stabbed right at the beginning of the hijack.

Wow! Are you still in contact with him?

If so, does he get any input on this or does he have anything to say about the Duck?

I would imagine that if you found Chip Zien again, he would disavow all knowledge of a movie called Howard the Duck.

You should get him to sign up here at DVDTalk and grant us an exclusive interview!

Sorry, haven't seen him since we graduated. I doubt that he has any clout.

This is bogus. I didn't do anything wrong. All I did was state my opinion - what the HELL is wrong with that? Moderation should not be about limiting freedom of speech. It should be about deleting unwanted advertising, merging similar threads, and moving threads to the correct forum folder. NOT censorship.

I will NOT be censored. If you think that this kind of behavior is right, you are a moron. This is about freedom of speech. I have as much of a right to post as any of you. Stop trying to take away my freedom.

apparently Universal is releasing Howard the Duck in Brazil on December 17th. Hopefully this means a new transfer is ready to go, and will be stateside soon after.

I saw this posted in another thread, but no links were provided. Not that I doubt you, since you are often in the know, but are there any more details?

not really any details on content. I actually had read it at another forum, and after some research have been able to find nothing signifigant. Just a few sites in SPanish that list it on that date, or the 15th. Universal doesn't seem to have a home video site for Brazil.

So chalk it up to rumor mill i suppose, but hopefully someone in the international forum can clue us in on a good site in brazil that has it on pre-order.

I had always hoped that when the time did come, we would see some kind of extras. Vintage interviews, feature on the animatronics, tv spots and trailers. And I think everyone would scream for a commentary by anyone who worked on this film. Although, I know most would settle for a nice widescreen version of the movie.

My laserdisc of the film hasn't rotted yet, so I'll only trade up when there's an HD version.

Lea Thompson in those pink panties, yum.

Howard the Duck on DVD!!!

Mod note: Promoting auctions is against the rules. Talking about bootlegs is against the rules. So you can imagine what promoting an auction selling a bootleg is
