Guys:
Glad everybody jumped out and got their copy. A few things I want to
apologize for/clear up:
1. Up until monday night, which is the first time I got to actually put the
DVD in and watched it, I was under the impression that the Tremor Bros. rampage
was there because we provided Universal Home Video with the entire sequence
for them to do a sound pass on and we did this as we just completed editing the
theatrical version. My assistant was told that they're saving this now for a
'Special Edition' which burns my ass a bit, since I've been telling everybody it's on
there and I look like some shyster asswipe selling snake oil.
2. The 'Cowboy Ending' wasn't touched at all which also grates the sh*t out of me.
You can hear our A.D. Justin Muller countdown '3...2...1.' and then it's the gunshots
and glass breaking SFX right off the AVID. I'm sure to some of you, that's cool, but
it's really not that cool with me. Again, if I'd known it was going out that way, I
probably would've bitched and not allowed it to happen. I wish the QC was done
a little earlier and I could've flagged it and made the necessary changes.
This should be a potent reminder to every filmmaker reading this: LEAVE NOTHING
TO CHANCE. DON'T TAKE A SINGLE SECOND OFF OR THINGS WILL FALL THROUGH
THE CRACKS.
In the end, I could blame the home video folks but it's my fault for not being completely
thorough, right down to the very last detail. I will not permit something like this to
happen again.
If this 'Special Edition' really is in the offing then there's still some great
stuff you guys haven't seen. So hopefully we can really cram it and make
the purchase worthwhile.
I'm glad you're digging the commentary. I loved having Rob along because we were
essentially welded at the hip. Jon Gilroy and I did the same thing on NARC and it was a
blast.
Okay guys. Hope that clears up some of the nonsense. Again, I'm sorry for the
confusion to begin with.
