Re: The VHS/Laserdisc of Delicate Sound of Thunder

As I recall it was shot on 35mm film with multiple cameras, which is a
fairly whacky decision and also an extremely expensive enterprise.

The fact that it was 35mm should, as the premium medium, have given us
for prosterity, State-Of-The-Art pictures from 1987 (?)

I think the director and editor between them have decided to opt for
the slow motion/multiple dissolve style of editing, which as far as I
remember the film, pretty much ruined it. Shame.

Nevertheless, we now have the re-edited Pulse DVD. I am glad I do not
suffer from photosensitive epilepsy and am surprised that the Pulse
pictures ever pass for TV transmission (heh heh).

So yeah, the Delicate Sound Of Thunder film was a wasted opportunity.
