Is this the highest rated picture I’ve ever scanned on here? Quite possibly. The mark does seem to come from 143 users so perhaps not the most convincing argument for it to be so good.
Typically for a guild release it comes in one of those brown cases with the guild embossing on the inside of the front cover. Certainly gives them that extra character. Not that often we see Kodak tape though. Note the handy arrow to show you which way it goes in your machine just in case you couldn’t quite figure out from the way the writing is oriented.
On imdb it lists the film as being 180mins but on the tape it’s only 148. Is it cut? Is it massively edited to remove dead wood? I think you’ll find that being as it was a TV movie the 180 minutes would account for advert breaks. Aren’t I clever in figuring that out, eh? EH? (No, we all guessed anyway - The Readers)
Anyway it’s a lovely eye catching cover but I wonder if the running time ever put people off? Covers like this are obviously the reason for this tumblr.
Also if the quality of the scan isn’t quite up to scratch it’s probably because I’m using a different program to do it because I’m at work. Paint.net didn’t seem to give as much dialogue for the scanner operation. I may have to re-scan it at home at some point. Or fetch the program from home. Aren’t I good being so kind as to take time out of my busy schedule at work to scan in covers for you?
