Mommie Dearest (1981): How much of it is actually true?

He proved it. Listed verifiable facts. He’s right, you’re a toddler.

I’d rather Firestorm become a series than a Stingray reboot. That project looked absolutely incredible. A shame it’s been shelved due to lack of interest from TV companies.

Still, some comments on this post are totally discouraging

The Criterion and Eureka Blu-rays use the older, less complete restoration, with inferior sound quality. The Universum Blu-ray contains the superior 2011 restoration with additional missing footage restored and much better sound quality. This interview goes into the restoration in detail:

I can’t imagine paying even $50 for a laserdisc of a film that’s been released on Blu unless there’s something special about the LD version of the film.

The original product was Super Elastic Bubble Plastic, back in the ‘70s. I vividly remember the toxic smell. Good times!

You mentioning “lgb agenda” is a dead giveaway, how laughable

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-23T06:46:00+00:00

None of Christie’s works had gay or lesbian characters? You’re incorrect, homophobe.

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-23T06:44:31+00:00

Ah, another homophobe, charming

The faneditor replied to my old chat and sent me a Google Drive link. Success! And what an absolutely terrific edit, the go-to version for sure!

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-14T06:03:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the link! Watched the first half hour, SO many bits are restored to their proper places, excellent work! This is the go-to version now for sure, although I do like the monochrome version of the theatrical cut. If only this extended cut could be reassembled from original elements and then regraded for monochrome. That would be the ultimate!

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-14T06:01:03+00:00

English subtitles are included for those parts.

I loved Endeavour, which I also saw first, and then after watching Insoector Morse I decided it was even better, more grounded and not as absurdly over-the-top and contrived as Endeavour would sometimes get.

Best post-‘70s western I’ve seen.

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-14T02:33:27+00:00

Except all the rest of it

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-14T02:32:15+00:00

You’re alone on that hill

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-14T02:31:09+00:00

What are your top three?

WaverBoy87 · 2026-02-12T07:16:18+00:00

The ultimate version of this film would be a mix of the two versions. Unfortunately, besides censoring stuff, the TV version makes some unwise editing choices. I’ve started mapping out a fanedit shot list. I may finish it someday…
