Fuck the hen ...

Be nice if they'd go back to the original colors, but that's probably too much to hope for.

What a pleasant surprise. Curious which source they used for the "skeleton shot' footage.

Not from you?

I'm surprised that MGM gives GBU away. But the 2nd disc seems to be the MGM version, with all the MGM bonus, and with the cave scene.

Now what I really want is a 2 disc Blu from OUTW. Theatrical version and this long Italian version. (and with a Norwegian dub with Greek subs)

these seem to be the only 'new' things on this set and they are nice to have.
Too bad I wasn't asked to do a commentary on the score but what the hell do i know!

Uh oh.

This is posted over at criterionforum by someone who sounds like he knows what he's talking about:

Kino is using a cutdown of the Extended Cut master to recreate the U.S. Theatrical cut. I have no idea if they're doing anything to the color timing.

If true then its likely the U.S. cut will look just like the Extended Cut, only shorter. Same crappy colors.

Not from us. Unless they swiped the 720p video on Jordan Krug's blog without asking. We'll know the answer when this is released.

I heard as early as Dec 2015 that KL had the rights for GBU. I didn't believe it at the time but this proves it.

I'm assuming you don't have any rights to it per se, just that if they did swipe it from there that they should acknowledge that?

So can someone please remind me....

Apart from not having to endure the grotto scene, which if I remember correctly Leone cut himself after the premiere, why would I want to watch the US theatrical cut?

Some think that the 161 min version is the better one, and some don't like the different sounding voices of the other scenes. Some only want the legendary yet unreleased Stanton cut.

... and some don't like the different sounding voices of the other scenes...

On the single disc MGM blu-ray mono-track they fixed that well enough for me - in particular lowering the pitch of Wallach's new dubbing.

Some only want the legendary yet unreleased Stanton cut.

Ah... this one:

The perfect version that I would release, of course. Italian version minus 2 scenes (Eastwood and LvC in their night camp, Wallach asking for the way to the monastery) and with the shorter torture Scene and (why not?) with that short scene at the end with Eastwood mounting his horse. And of course without the cave scene.
