It’s better that way.

That's strange. Still not showing up for you?

I'm on my work laptop now and I see a "Sorry, you don't have permission to visit this site" warning. At home, the post is just a big white blank (Firefox browser).

Strange. I'm usually the one that can't see them. It's an embed from Facebook. Let's see if a Twitter one works for you.

I'm sure the problem is on my end.

So what’s the preferred cut of The Day After to see after not seeing tv version since it was on? Theatrical add anything more?

Why So Blu?

This is the Kino Lorber thread - there's a separate thread for Shout and Arrow.

Yea. I can't read.

Why So Blu?

You're killing me, mod!

OldBoy

this is a Kino Lorber release, so what the hell you talking about?

dex14

I mistakenly posted Shout/Scream release info here.

OldBoy

Oh. Carry on...

double confusion action goin on.

Anyway, about Kino. Regrettably, the Director's Cut of Color of Night looks and sounds much worse than the theatrical cut. The DC is the only way to see Bruce Willis' little willy, and the plot, such as it is, is more coherent in that version.

OldBoy

if the plot is more coherent, why is that a bad thing?

Josh Z

What I'm saying is that the Director's Cut is the better version of the movie*, but it both looks and sounds worse than the (inferior) theatrical cut.


*"Better" being a relative term. Both versions of the movie are terrible. But the Director's Cut has more nudity and a slightly more coherent plot.

OldBoy

oh, you mean in terms of a/v? i have the TE in a double with another movie somewhere. i'll just stick to that. i actually saw this in theaters with a buddy of mine and we had no idea what the hell we watched, but we knew it was terrible. i want to revisit and see if correct...

Josh Z

The Mill Creek double feature with Playing God is actually the Director's Cut. This Kino disc is the first time the theatrical cut has been released on Blu-ray. In fact, I believe the DVD editions were only the Director's Cut as well.

The Mill Creek disc has comparable video quality to the Kino DC (i.e. awful), but the audio is decidedly better. I don't know what happened with Kino's DC, but it sounds like listening to a cassette tape while your speakers are underwater.

Kino's theatrical cut has better video than either DC (not great, but definitely better) and the audio is adequately listenable.

Oh, you were right the first time. It hasn't gotten any better with age. But it is a fun kind of terrible.

OldBoy

ok, glad i got the DC. i do have that double play disc. can't wait to see some Willis dong! going in queue now if i can find it...

The theatrical version of Color
Of Night hasn’t been on any video format before to my knowledge, I don’t think there was even one made for Blockbuster, who wouldn’t have carried it if it had been rated NC-17. I projected it on film when it was out and it was hilariously bad, movies like this are why The Room doesn’t do anything for me as a lover of bad movies.

Grandpappy always said "Don't put the dong in the queue!"

Josh Z

Not even on VHS?

One of my biggest wants on blu. Super excited for this!
