dvd release

Now celebrating its 15th anniversary, I'd say it's about HIGH time Warner get around to releasing this gem on DVD and/or even Blu-ray. :P Point of fact; I bought a Laserdisc player about 10 years after the death of said format, for the SOLE reason of being able to see this move in its original form and format. Not everybody understand this film, but those who do certainly deserve the chance to see it in a decent release, IMHO. Please?

Since this movie was relatively a flop and a not-well-received film, Warner probably put this on their "low-priority" shelf for DVD transfer. But since it's a Robin Williams headlined flick, Warner may make this part of their "Archive Collection"...where they select films from their archive that are in low demand but make it available for online order, where they make it especially for you.

That's how I got "Doc Savage" and "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing"...films I've been looking for, for years now.

For the record, "Being Human" is on Laserdisc in Widescreen. I always meant to get it, but it was just one of those titles that slipped through the cracks. It's not a bad film at all, it's actually very intriguing, but not what you'd expect from Williams at that time, and I remember the trailer being very misleading, too, marketed as a full-blown comedy...which it clearly isn't.

This would be great as a double-bill with Bill Forsyth's other misunderstood fantasy, yet many call his masterwork, "Local Hero."

I'd really like to see the original 40 minute longer directors cut.
