I just got the new special edition DVD of Cronenberg's THE FLY ahead of street date and I just want to report to everyone that it's wonderful. I've been waiting for a special edition of this film from Fox since the laserdisc heyday (remember them?) of the 90s. Typical dry but intelligent commentary by DC. There is an extensive (and maybe too long) documentary that goes into a lot of detail on the production. We finally get to see the deleted monkey-cat and butterfly baby scenes. Let's just say I am really glad the latter never saw the light of day until now. Oh, and the movie itself really looks and sounds (DTS!) finally as great as it should.

Re: THE FLY special edition DVD
Tue, October 4, 2005 - 4:27 PMI heard that there's a short scene where Brendle-Fly is in the bathroom, he opens the medicine cabinate and put his penis up on a shelf while saying "Artifacts... artifacts..." Now, I ask because it's just such a damn freaky movie that I don't wanna watch it for some time, but if anyone else has the guts I'd be happy to hear if that scene's actually in there.
thanks.
And I do like horror from time to time, but I just got out of the peak of that cycle and it could be years before I get into it again. -
