| | Posted: | | | | TCM has been running a longer print recently on TV in which I recorded on my PVR.,.
Using a stop watch it ran an astonishing 202 minutes.. !! (The birthday party was all there in tact.)
The 'colors' , and widescreen vistas were very pleasant and not any where as bad as some of the pictures on that website indicate.. The stereo sound was nice but 5.1 and the missing anamorphic widescreen would be a welcome relief..
I always felt that John Wayne was so disappointed in Hollywood, after his failed Oscar attempt for 'his' personal movie, that he turned his back on Hollywood and never gave as much as he used to after this film.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

It made a really big impression on me. Little did I know that a quarter of a century later I would work for a San Antonio based company, and that I would have the opportunity to visit the real Alamo. Anyway, "The Alamo" has always been one of my favorite movies. I hope I get to retire my LD and instead be able to watch it on BD in the quality that it deserves. I can hardly wait...  | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

Skip He actually has already been working on it since the late '90s. Here is a interview from Home Theatre Forum. | | | We're on a mission from God.

Not only is it off topic, and very close to violating the 'no political discussion' rule, it is needlessly inflammatory .  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Touchy, touchy, touchy. One of the things I think we Americans should be proud of is our readiness to admit the patchy spots in our history. An established fact about something that occurred over a century ago shouldn't be considered politically controversial. |
