Advice to you trolls: stay longer in English class instead of whacking off to your "Nightmare" bootlegs. You'll go further in the world and maybe even make a friend or two, although I have reservations about that. <BR/><BR/>I can't tell all of the anonymous trolls apart (as far as I know they are the same troll because they all have the same illiteracy), but the Steven fanatic is really getting out-of-hand. Didn't he say recently he was finally giving up on the issue, but then he continues to rant on and on about the same shit over and over again? What a complete douche. <BR/><BR/>And just because there's an "alternate" version of the film from some obscure Dutch videotape release that has an extra babysitter scene proves NOTHING about what the preferred version of the film is. A lot of TV-prints of movies have deleted scenes put back in, there are alternate cuts sometimes prepared for various markets, sometimes extended-sometimes shortened for various distributors, etc. It proves NOTHING. This idiot probably feels Code Red should get every deleted scene shot for the film and never used restored into the film to make a 3-hour+ epic. The footage was cut for a reason, but since the footage was shot by Scavolini, it should ALL be in the film! Every last frame. Otherwise it's BUTCHERED!!! I sure wish Anchor Bay had released the authentic export version of Argento's DEEP RED on DVD instead of the bloated extended version with all that comedy-romance crap edited back in. Get the point? Longer does not always mean the preferred final cut. <BR/><BR/>To the trolls and, yes, you Steven are one of them, although a bit more literate - please DO go away. I think most of us sane people here have had enough of your juvenile rants and whining. My advice for the mature members here from now on is to simply ignore the homophobes and the trolls. Remember the old line, "Please don't feed the trolls." They deserve nothing, not even a response. So, DO GO AWAY as you have promised us above. Go now. Be true to your word and just as Blondie once sung, "go away and stay away".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573517055380978817.post-44613254489379431102008-03-13T10:46:00.000-07:002008-03-13T10:46:00.000-07:00it's funny many wants CODE RED to drop the title a...it's funny many wants CODE RED to drop the title and give it to another label.

For one, Steve said nothing anti-gay... and that second guy was an inbred douche... how could you (gay or straight) even remotely take offence to that? You're a whiney bitch who needs therapy.<BR/><BR/>To elaborate just a bit more before I leave this blog for good:<BR/><BR/>I do not have my tongue up Code Red's ass, in fact they've made quite a few moves that have really upset me (biting off more titles than they can chew, etc). But, I repeat, these minor shots are NOT important and no one except those with NO LIVES gives a good goddamn about them. In fact, at this point, I would just like to see it released EDITED just to watch you fuckers squirm yourselves into a blog-trolling frenzy. <BR/><BR/>Like I said, I don't agree with everything Code Red does, but it's evident they ARE taking great care with this DVD release. You want them to give the rights up to this film? Then you'll probably never see this released (remember Program Power?). Content to just keep around your grainy old bootlegs? Then get off this blog and go watch them.<BR/><BR/>Just take a long look at this blog. This really isn't a matter of missing footage and a complete film (and I'm sure within the next 2 days there's going to be at least 3-4 trolls counter-attacking this point). This is just a battle concerning who's right and who's wrong. At the end of the day, does it really matter? Do you think any of you're bitching is going to impact this release at all? <BR/><BR/>It's blogs like this that almost make me ashamed to be a horror fan. This is almost as bad as the trolling you see in World of Warcraft or some other online 'sensation' that attracts people who believe their opinions matter the most.<BR/><BR/>I am NOT kissing their asses, but Code Red is doing their best, and I support them with this release. It's the only release of this film we've been able to count on in... ever. To throw all this away because of one or 2 minor shots...well... if you're willing to do that, you're obviously not concerned with the film at all... You're just concerned with being right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573517055380978817.post-3938848469371868552008-03-13T03:56:00.000-07:002008-03-13T03:56:00.000-07:00This anti-gay statement steven and anonymous is po...This anti-gay statement steven and anonymous is posting is offensive. steven is homophobic and he is filled with hate. anonymous last post is offensive. code red's webmaster, please remove them from the blog. thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573517055380978817.post-54693510294247804332008-03-12T23:08:00.000-07:002008-03-12T23:08:00.000-07:00p.s.

Whether you think this film is important enough or worthwhile enough to be restored properly is moot and irrelevant. The first shot of the head is a fucking mistake and if this were some Argento film no one would object at all to anyone complaining about it. I happen to believe this film is an extremely well-made masterpiece and SHOULD be restored correctly, goddammit. Yes, the first wrong insertion of the head shot DOES spoil its proper insertion seconds later, period!!!! It's not in a print that is MORE complete than the PLANET print so it should not be there, those foreign tapes are the ONLY CORRECT edits of NIGHTMARE. END OF FUCKING ARGUMENT, existence of the this longer cut with one head shot proves this IRREFUTABLY. I just wish that Code Red would have admitted from the beginning that they just don't have the means, energy, money, or even desire to search for a proper print, I am sure it's out there somewhere though. Maybe they should leave the release to a company that cares more about the film than they seem to or than many of the blog posters here even seem to. If they had only admitted this from the beginning and not concocted b.s. just to cover it up and make their source material appear legitimate, this whole stupid argument, which I was correct about from the start, could have been avoided. <BR/><BR/>To all of the Code Red defense team: If this was one of your favorite films, you would complain yourselves and want the print complete and in its proper edit. This really is hardly too much to ask and no one should be criticized for asking. ANY FILM SHOULD BE RESTORED PROPERLY NO MATTER WHAT IT IS OR WHAT ANYONE'S OPINION OF IT IS.................<BR/><BR/>I hope you drop this release and allow someone else to restore it properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573517055380978817.post-16253419112685649182008-03-12T20:06:00.000-07:002008-03-12T20:06:00.000-07:00Yup, it's right near the beginning, before she has...Yup, it's right near the beginning, before she has her rooftop scare.

It's not as though it's a KEY scene, and it's not as though the difference between 2 'eye-opening shots' are really going to affect a film of THIS caliber all that much. Let's face it... it's not a great film. I love it as I'm sure you all do, but the film is neither hindered nor helped with the absence or presence of this second shot. I've only ever seen the film with this second shot present anyhow... <BR/><BR/>I know of the fabled babysitter scene as I have a bootleg of (what I believe to be) the dutch video. This scene is there (the kids come down the stairs, whine about staying up late, and the Cathy flips out on them). And, even being the completest I am, I could really care less if this shot makes it onto the dvd or not. Neither of these scenes are paramount to the film.<BR/><BR/>Look at the posts, pages, time and arguing that this minor issue has caused!! Can't we all just relax and be happy that this film is getting the attention it finally deserves? Even though the negative is toast, these guys are doing everything humanly possible to clean it up...we're getting extras.. a trailer for christ's sake! (can ANYONE who wasn't of age back when this was released claim to have seen a trailer for it?!)<BR/><BR/>Just relax y'all, it's going to be a stellar release. And you KNOW you're going to grab a copy when it's released.<BR/><BR/>If you want to talk about film butchery, why don't you all hit up Paramount or Columbia and join the fight to get "My Bloody Valentine" and "Happy Birthday To Me" released uncut?
