He was also heavily inspired by Erich von Däniken’s popular 1968 pseudoscience book Chariots of the Gods? Dennis has turned in his thoughts on Roger Corman’s The Tomb of Ligeia (1964) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics and also Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman on Blu-ray from Universal. Titles are original from what I can tell (thankfully not all studios are obsessed with re-doing main titles like Paramount is). I enjoyed the original one-dimensional space battles-centric show as a kid, but Ron Moore's reboot was much more layered, textured and about much more than "humans vs. Colla's Battlestar Galactica (1978), starring Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Lorne Greene, Herbert Jefferson Jr.

various examples of clothes, and so many other colors enjoy notable improvements to punch, accuracy, and overall stability and vividness.When we got our first VCR in '83, the Galactica episodes were the first things I taped -- off WOR Channel 9 in New Jersey -- and then proceeded to watch over and over and over again in horrible VHS "extended" (or "EP") quality until my Dad questioned how I could possibly enjoy watching something so many times. Starbuck was shirtless when he was caught by Athena on the monitor with Cassiopia in the launch tube. Star Wars knock off though it might be, Battlestar Galactica was a major television event in 1978, and one that many young members of Generation X will never forget—especially those that, having been wowed by George Lucas’ space adventure, craved more experiences like it. There’s also additional footage that makes more explicit and obvious the Galactica crew’s plot to fool the Cylons on Carillon, and the sex scene between Starbuck and Cassiopeia is also edited for TV to remove obvious nudity in the theatrical cut.

It would be interesting to know if all of the original visual effects elements survive, so that these shots could one day be digitally recomposited if the resources to do so were made available. All right, we’ll likely have at least one more review for you to check out later today, and we’re all working on more over the weekend.As bad business and loneliness is taking his toll on private detective Philip Marlowe, a beautiful blonde arrives and asks him to find her ex-lover, which proves to be just a small part in a bigger mystery. That silhouette-like Centurion cutout just looks completely out of place and just makes the front face look messy. Actually seeing her topless front = R most of the time, and unsuitable for network TV broadcast in the US.

It’s the same mix included on the 2013 Blu-ray, which is fine as there’s not much that could be done to improve on that original sound experience while still being faithful to it. I saw "Earthquake" (1974) in Sensurround and I think the driver or drivers were blown to hell as all there was, was a scary horrible sound like a driver or drivers were totally ripped apart. If you were fortunate enough to watch the original TV broadcast back in 1978—on the ever-popular ABC Sunday Night Movie—the experience you had then was a pale shadow of this new 4K UHD. And for those of you who may be wondering what I’m up to review-wise, I’m currently working on film reviews for the first four Star Trek features, as well as David Lynch’s Dune, and Ridley Scott’s Legend, in anticipation of receiving the newly-remastered 4K (and/or Blu-ray) editions of each from Paramount and Arrow Video respectively in the next week or two.Indeed, this series eventually spawned one of the most successful reboots of all time, when Universal and the Sci-Fi Channel commissioned Trek veteran Ronald D. The quality of that audio however isn't very smooth; it sounds made up or has some kind of characteristic like it was generated somehow with a weird buzzing sound or whatever.
