Apparently the marketing strategy is to promote the DVDs as a way to "be SEDUCED by the DARKNESS."

It's actually a slick reference to the black bars that will appear at the top and bottom of your screen, covering up what should be the rest of the image. 

Not that it will accomplish much, but there is an email address for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Customer Service on their web site. It's sphe_customer_service@spe.sony.com

It's really official now on this aspect ratio business.

Please note it appears the episodes will be "in an artificially-created Wide-Screen format as if the episodes were filmed for exhibition in motion picture theaters."

I'm not sure the phrasing here necessarily makes it "really official." The phrase used here is "it appears," which suggests that SG is operating from the same information we've already been referring to in this thread.

Do I hold out any hope that the release won't be widescreen? No. But SG isn't offering a definitive answer here. The only thing offered as fact was the sales pitch for the MPI videos. 

With that in mind, if that is the case, then you can be sure that Selby, the director nor any of the creative people who actually made the movie will see one dime from this.

Actually, there was some indication about 5 years ago in a listing on the ACTRA web site that Selby had an unclaimed check for his work on the film. I don't know what became of that situation. Selby never actually saw the completed film until he watched it at the 2004 DS Festival in Tarrytown, and he just kept saying he didn't remember any of it.

The video release in the late 1980s was through Prism Entertainment. If I recall correctly, the artwork on the box was not from the film. It was a photo of Maud Adams that was much more recent. I have no idea if Prism had a reputation similar to JEF's. It wouldn't surprise me. That video release is what they screened at the Festival.

The Girl in Blue (aka U-Turn), the 1974 movie starring David Selby as a man who becomes obsessed with searching for a woman he only saw for a few moments years ago, will be released on DVD this month. The film was shot entirely in Canada and co-stars Maud Adams.

The Victory Theatre Center in Burbank is advertising slightly revised dates for Stranded on Pluto, which is slated to star David Selby, though his official site has not confirmed his appearance.

I still can't get my mind around Bette Davis on Broadway playing the role taken in the film by Ava Gardner!

Can you get your mind around Marie Wallace playing the role in a 1970s production in Minnesota? 

She has a photo on her web site. David Canary appears with her.

When SP2 came out, MS was sending the CD free.

They aren't anymore. Bill Gates can't afford the postage. 

It was like Roger Davis in overdrive.

There is no other setting on the Roger Davis gearbox.
