I have the original theatrical release on VHS; however, I catch myself watching it on TV (especially on Sci-Fi) whenever it's on.

Sci-fi channel is the only channel i saw B.R. on.

I have the original theatrical release on VHS too. Intend to buy the DC on DVD soon.<BR>Then perhaps the Special Edition DVD.<BR><BR>Of course, I always use the chance to see it in TV when it it aired, but never saw DC in TV. <BR>Even some Art Cinemas play BRDC ocassionally, so I use the chance to see it on big screen.<BR><BR>I have a question> I have heard that the SE DVD will be released only in US and UK. Is that really so? I am afraid it is...<BR>

I might watch it... I dunno. All I know is that, if its on Channel 5, thats bad. That means Channel 4 has lost the licence, which means that they wont reapeat thier 'On The Egde Of Blade Runner' documentary!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if 'On the Edge of Blade Runner' appears on the SE DVD...

I would be surprised if the documentary doesn't make it onto the DVD. And I would be absolutely astonished if it weren't released worldwide - there are separate release rights involved, but it would be quite ridiculous if these weren't all resolved.<BR><BR>As for watching it on Channel 5, I certainly won't make an effort, but if I'm working on my computer while it is on, then I might very well, just because. Despite the ad breaks...
[addsig]

I probably would start watching it on TV, but then I'd get frustrated at the commercials, so I'd end up watching my DVD without any interruptions.<BR><BR>As for the SE DVD, I say worldwide release. And if it does turn out to be just the US and UK, I would also include Japan, because the Japanese are hard core BR fans. The Japanses tend to release american movies on dvd (or high quaility vcd) that are not available in the US or UK.<BR><BR><BR><BR>

yeah, to hell with commercials... <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_evil.gif">

I thought the ad breaks when BR was on Channel 4 were quite well placed. Channel 4 seemed to actualy like the film (they did make a kick a$$ documentary), unlikie Channel 5, who think of it as a 'Well know cult film which we bought because lot of people will watch it, right?'. Indeed.

I would equivocate it to hearing a song you like on the radio. Sure its not as good as your version because you cant stop and rewind your favorite parts, but it's sort of neat knowing many a people be watchin the movie.

I watched it on Scifi And more recently USA

Oh and <!-- BBCode Start --><I>Legend</I><!-- BBCode End --> is on BBC2 (UK) Monday 3rd June (afternoon) - I guess UK TV's gone Ridley mad this weekend...
