All the President's Men

Saw this today on davisdvd.com


Is it just me or is it creepy hearing news anchors repeat the phrase "Deep Throat" over and over? To commemorate the film's 30th anniversary, look for Warner Home Video to re-release All the President's Men in a new special edition next year. Expect extras and featurettes focusing on the production, as well as the actual Watergate scandal.
Cool. =D>

Fingers crossed for G. Gordon Liddy commentary!

Fingers crossed for G. Gordon Liddy commentary!

Or if we're real lucky, Al Haig.

Ahhh...now this is the kind of thinking outside the box input I can bite into. I'd pay an extra tenner to have some actual nefarious participants chiming in. Forget the actor commentary...unless they had some actual experience with the real life players other than woodward and bernstein who I've just about enough from.

Gord's too busy fixing the Fetzer valve on Alan Stanwick's bird.

Right, Fletch?

Here's the first review so far:

Video:
Warner Bros. appear to have done everything they could to bring the movie to DVD in the best shape possible, but the results vary from scene to scene. The image is in widescreen, closely matching its original theatrical 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and it's transferred to disc at a high bit rate and enhanced for 16x9 televisions. However, while colors are almost always deep, the print seems rather dark, perhaps the result of so much location shooting, making faces in particular look too purplish or too strongly pink. When it's good, the picture quality is very good, indeed, but when it's too dark, it's a little annoying. There is also some very minor grain present and a few shimmering lines, none of which is enough to distract our attention from the story line.

Why is the version on this dvd so much shorter than the version on the old dvd? It seems that about 17 minutes are missing when you look at the numbers on DVD Beaver.

Hmm.. the bitrate-pics both say 2:18:05 but I was looking at the runtime-row where it says 2:18:05 and 2:01:08 for the old and the new version. I guess it's a mistake.

Mine is copy/pasted from the runtime row, not the bitrate. No mistakes there. Same to the second.`1

EDIT: ok, I looked up the same page in IE and there it does show the same number. I think it's some sort of caching-error in Firefox or something.

I've actually watched the new DVD, and the film is exactly the same length it's always been.

Been watching this sporadically, and usually whenever it’s on HBOMax. It took me awhile to warm up to certain scenes, particularly anything not in the Post or involving Deep Throat and Hal Holbrook’s chilling performance. I’m struck a bit at the real-life happenings to the movie’s Mr. (Stephen Collins having admitted to sexual misconduct with minors) & Mrs. Sloan (Meredith Baxter coming out as a lesbian while revealing the spousal abuse committed against in her first marriage at the same time she was the mom on Family Ties), all the while that unseen exchange between Woodward and Bernstein about suburbia percolates ever more in these recent viewings.

I’ve always wanted to read the screenplay draft that Carl Bernstein and Nora Ephron wrote

[ryannichols7]

you guys had me excited that Warner had announced this for UHD...
