As I have explained to you before it's down to the involvment of Justin Harries (FilmBar70) and his work on the extra features. Do you have a problem with that?

I also mentioned before that Shameless (or Arrow) shouldn't be held accountable for the actions of the moderators on a certain PR company-run film forum

How do extra features make it a fan edition then?

As for fact tracks, I ripped into Paul for doing them in the first place so my displeasure of seeing these on their releases is nothing new.

Well, they should cange their PR company then shouldn't they as they don't do them any favours.

I've already wasted my money on every one of their releases so far as they come out.

I'm happy with my NoShame release, which the majority of brainwashed followers over at that fucking place more than likely didn't have a clue existed till this release was announced.

I'm guessing 'edition' refers to the whole release rather than just the film on it's own.

What do you think of this one then though? Prefer it to ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK?

The Associates aren't doing the PR for this release.

I prefer this and "Vice" to "Colours"

But before their "fan editions" were interfered with versions of the films making them a slightly different cut. Is this the case with this release? I don't think it is, I think it's just a crafty marketing ploy (although I could be wrong).

[Jonny]

I think it's just a crafty marketing ploy (although I could be wrong).

I've always hated the 'Fan Edition' tag, why not just call it a 'Special Edition'? It's just more spiel created to fit in with the whole 'By the fans for the fans' hoopla that the creators of Cult Labs have spun out.

But we've covered this before so let's keep this thread about the movie and save the other comments for elsewhere, yeah?

[Filmbar70]

The cut is no different Aaron - however, extra wise there is a decent interview with Martino. He's less stiff in this than in others I've seen.
And yeah - fave Fenech giallo by a mile - plotting, pacing and character wise it's the tightest, tho' Colors certainly does have a lot going for - especially the sight of Fenech cooking bacon and eggs. And fucking it up...

Given Justin's involvement in this release doesn't the above quote confirm why it is that it has been billed as a"Fan Edition"

Definately.

Although I reckon half of that lot over there won't appreciate it as much as we do because it isn't violent enough for them.

I already have the Noshame disk. Will probably just stick to that.
