GF on DVD

... from the streets of Toronto, via one of Warren's minions.


Melinda:




Yes, thank God we're not wasting our time selling those. It's not like we'd want to get involved in capitalism or anything. Wouldn't want to bend to market forces or supply-and-demand ...

Just when my general rage at people choosing not to make money on a product clearly in demand, you gots to go stir it up again.

I'm sending you the bill for my blood pressure meds.

Maybe you can convince the powers to be to put it up on the new Ipod website to sell?

Funny, a friend of mine worked on GF and I got to see the pilot episode/movie. It wasn't that great.

Sorry, maybe it was just a rough cut.

I saw the final cut and, while I agree it was/is an EXCELLENT adaptation of the original and could have gone on to X-Files level success, there was absolutely NO WAY itwould ever have aired on the WB or lasted there. It was too smart and way too dark.

Me, I like smart and dark but, please, John. That show was too hip for the room from day one.

there were parts of it that worked, and parts that didn't. A few heinous studio/network bits that I would've cut before air. That's a pilot for you.

but the cast all stepped up, as did production. I'm still very proud of the work they did and the final product.

Since it's out there anyway, would you consider posting the changes you would have made in editing?

Not that any of us have seen it..

Roger Alford said...

I'd be very curious to hear your changes as well. The only part I didn't like was the gymnast thing a la Spielberg's The Lost World. But the coolness of everything else more than made up for that. Especially the half-man in the opening scenes.

Well, this weekend in Toronto the police seize $4 million in pirated DVDs. I wonder if that included any copies (or maybe even all of the copies) of Global Frequency.

Still, with the attention that Global Frequency has gotten, it doesn't surprise me that someone has gone ahead and put it on to DVD.

the annotated pilot may be amusing. I'll consider it.
