Voor de liefhebbers...

Blijkbaar ben ik de enigste liefhebber hier :?

Zijn er geen andere Monster Squad-fans op het forum?

Voor mij is die film echt lang geleden, mijn broer liet hem toen import zien dus veel begreep ik er niet van maar de beelden vond ik leuk genoeg! :p

The Monster Squad verschijnt op 24 november in Amerika op blu-ray.

Deze film is gewoon geschreven door de Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Last Boy Scout, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) dus zou em heeel graag willen zien....

... maar weet niet of ie vandaag de dag nog indruk maakt als je em (zoals ik) vroeger tijdens je jeugd nooit hebt gezien.

[Frank]

Tja, het kan tegenvallen of je vind het nog steeds leuk. Ik vind het zelf nog steeds een leuke film.

De film is in Amerika nu ook uit op blu-ray. De uitgave is regiovrij en er zijn in vergelijking met de dvd een aantal verschillen wat de extra's betreft.


Just wanted to give folks an update on SQUAD's Blu-Ray....

1. All the extras from the DVD edition will be present and accounted for on the BluRay

2. With the exception of the Deleted Scenes & Frankenstein Interview, all of the other video extras are being re-outputted right now by myself in HD. The documentary, theatrical trailer, TV Spot (in 4x3 obviously), Still Gallery, and Storyboard Sequence were all originally shot and/or transferred and posted in HD and then downconverted for SD on the DVD edition. So now we can offer them all in HD, which is a very generous option that Lionsgate has allowed me to exercise.

3. The Deleted Scenes section has been expanded and updated to include a series of moments that were featured on the film's TV Version that were not included on the previous DVD's Deleted Scenes section. Also the Storyboard Seqeunce now includes a direct picture-in-picture comparison between the storyboards and the final scene from the movie itself.

4. MONSTER SQUAD FOREVER!, the feature-length doc has been given a spit polish and nip and tuck here and there and features some footage not seen in the original version. Again everything was shot in HD, and its looking so much better than it did on the original DVD. It also plays a lot better and without as much repetitive information as before. The post-production on this doc was extremely rushed back in the day, and this version represents what would have been the final edit had I had a little more time to finesse the final product. The time crunch was no one's fault, it was just a reality due to the project's expansion from a one-disc set to a two-disc set late in the game.

5. The transfer of the film itself is a big time WOW. Fred Dekker went back in to give this transfer his final OK (another generous offer from Lionsgate) and it simply blows the previous version out of the water...as you'd expect, but seriously it's a winner.

6. Normally I wouldn't get too excited about menus, but wait til you see what Lionsgate and Fred Dekker have cooked up for the BD menus on SQUAD. Really affectionate and kick-ass stuff!

So I sincerely hope you'll all consider a SQUAD upgrade in November. Trust me, it will be worth it!
