- I need some downtime this week, so, I'm just ripping all three versions of Close Encounters from the Blu-ray right now while I wrap up some other prep work for this weekend. I'm VERY FAR BEHIND on getting this video going, and it sure as hell ain't going anywhere this weekend either. Sigh.
- NEW VIDEO! I discuss the Lawsuit that forced changes upon this 1997 horror film, but not before an initial home video run was released with the original theatrical version! Retro Video Series: The Lawsuit That Altered THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE youtu.be/6gy0ARX2wvc
- Oh good! I cleared up the copyright claim on the new video with a re-edit. Boy, once you trigger a single clip or two, that ContentID system finds EVERYTHING easy. I've NEVER had it snag the split screen comparison clip sections before.
- If you see this, post a character that starts with A.


- Re-watching a bit of this today, and yeah, Pacino is SIZZLING in this film. Such a peak performance for him! Nobody could've done the Devil better here!
- I remembered to check my notes and FOUND the original DVD of The Devil’s Advocate with the unaltered sculpture!
- And YEAH, Retro Video Series episode incoming HOT N' FAST about this!
- A nice $3 find at Half Price Books today!
- Ugh! I hate that I didn't proof-watch my latest video. There are a number of editing flubs in it, like super obvious stuff that hurts me. Sadly, it's already released with a couple of comments on it. Seems iffy to pull it and re-upload now. Ehh?
