Well I ordered the original along with a few other movies I've been meaning to purchasse.

See, that's my problem: can't ever order just *one* and end up with stuff out to here...

To many movies, not enough time.
I have a wish list of movies I want to add to my collection that grows faster than I can purchase them. Someone will bring up a movie I forgot and I will add iy to my list. Of course I go to IMDB and find them by the gross.

I will probably rent the remake of "3:10" and if I like than I might buy it. Sometimes the directors create a whole different story by changing the characters. So I will not blow it off as just a copy until I see it. But when will I have time to see it is the bigger hurdle.

Time -- yagh. Always a problem. I have a bad habit of actually watching and listening, so can't do the dishes or any of that while the DVD player is spinning away. Also, I've developed a nasty Pause habit.
Shoulda seen me trying to fit my just-acquired copy of Das Boot, director's cut, into a day. The thing is nearly four hours long. Three and a half, maybe. And gripping. But the time! Ai yi. Oh, and had to do it again with commentary. Gave up some sleep for that.

Hello FloralBunny;

Now you mention Das Boot and I will have to add that to my list. I remember that one. After watching that one I could never see myself getting into submarine.

I try to stay away from director's cut because they are usually longer. Those guys created all those scenes and they want us to see them.

Yes, I know what you mean about DCs. Bloated, self-indulgent, all that. Some really deserve the descriptions.

Fear not the DC of "Boot." It was shot simultaneously as a theatrical release and a six-hour "mini." For this DVD release they restored about an hour of material which serves to explain some of what was in the original film. The story of how they recovered negatives, sound tracks and so on is most interesting. And some details about the dubbing. It's altogether quite worth it, I think.

Thank you FloralBunny. Director's cut it shall be.
Of course it is part of the ever groing list I have already mentioned.

I'm lucky my VCR and tapes still function.
Replacing them would be near impossible.

I have discovered movies I have on VHS are not yet available on DVDs.

Oooooh goood. I was afraid he was going to have a small part in that.

I am looking forward to Death at a Funeral which I saw at a test screening earlier and Alan was wonderful. I declared him brilliant in DaaF. With 3:10 to Yuma and the Oscar Buzz I expect more great things for Alan.

I ordered the original "3:10 to Yuma" on Friday and they had it here on Monday. To bad I was at work and was not there to sign for it. Went to the post office after work today and it is sitting in my machine waiting to go as I type this. I have not seen it in years so I hope I am not disappointed. But Glen Ford and Van Heflin are both excellent actors so I feel safe.

Right, traveler, on Ford and Heflin.
You'll probably get an enormous kick out of experiencing these two productions side by side when the new film comes out.
Tell us about your new old 3:10 when you have a
chance. :;->

Just finished watching it. Not disappointed. Glen Ford played one nasty guy. Now will have to get the new one. I think it will be good too. If they stink you usually here more about them. It is the good ones that everyone stays silent about. And I have not heard much about this one. I don't even remember it coming to the theater. I must have been asleep at the wheel when it hit town. My mistake.

Now to watch "Momento", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "Friendly Persuasion" that I ordered with "3:10". I'm a Gary Cooper Fan.
