Question: why invest in a full screen transfer which shows the movie's image cropped and not the way it was presented in movie theaters?

I did not know. I knew Starman was reissued but I did not know the disc only had full screen. But it is still the way I first saw it and so at least I get nostalgic value out of it. Plus, 4 Dvds for that price! Now I own Assault On Precinct 13 Halloween The Thing Christine Starman Big Trouble in Little China Prince of Darkness Ghost of Mars I have the fog, Escape From New York and Escape From LA on tape. All three films were caught on widescreen channels. Edited by packmule, Oct 20 2008, 06:33 PM.

I wanna show you guys something. It is a vid, and a special one to me. I am a fanboy of John Carpenter, equal to that of G2K. If I see a film in the Bargain bins, I slip it infront of a dvd rack with the supposedly "new and just released" films and stuff. Well, the clip is special because it was my first insight into John's amazing career. I would watch it every time I got a new film on DVD, which chonologicaly would be: Big Trouble in Little China Prince of Darkness Halloween Assault on Precinct 13 and then all at once The Thing Starman Christine Ghost of Mars I just watched it again, and it is again a great vid. Watch it. Edited by G2Kmaster, Oct 26 2008, 01:09 PM.

Well I hope it's good. I want Carpenter to make a big comeback. I'm not that psyched about the idea, but Carpenter's direction will hopefully make it great. |

Well, he was doing good with Prolife and Cigaret Burns, both good comebacks since Ghost of Mars. Although Cody, John's Son, may need to get some more style since I was totaly syched about his score for Prolife. |

I haven't seen either of those yet. I'm glad he's still working anyway. I didn't know his son was composing now. |

John Carpenter's "The Thing" is one of the best horror movies I've seen. In particular, I have to praise its special effects. "The Thing", when I first watched it, was one of the movies to have scared me the most. |

John is one sad guy. He is the one director who has the most remade movies based on his films/screenplays. Thankfully I have not seen They Eyes of Laura Mars. It would be funny to see someone tackle Dark Star though... |
