DVD Talk Review: Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Also it's important to note that Lucas decided to do the transfer for the Phantom Menace DVD from the film master over the pure digital print that was made for the small number of digital theaters which Star Wars Phantom Menace was shown in. Phantom Menace features a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track which is so full and dynamic, it's going to make your head spin. Since the theater I saw Phantom Menace in wasn't the top of the line, state of the art theater, I found my home theater experience of Phantom Menace to be BETTER than the one I had in the theater. www.dvdtalk.com /reviews/read.php?ID=2653   (2177 words)

Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace The DVD release of "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace" appears to have been made as much for George Lucas and the team who made the movie happen as their audience. One doesn't get far into the maze of extras on "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace" before figuring out that George Lucas and his co-workers made this DVD as much for themselves as their audience. The seven deleted scenes can be viewed separately or as part of a brief documentary in which Lucas recruits other directors to bolster his argument that filmmakers often cut out their favorite scenes. www.hollywoodreporter.com /thr/reviews/review_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1091346   (840 words)

The Very Best Books : The Phantom Blooper Like its predecessor, "The Short-Timers," The Phantom Blooper is comprised of three novellas, but each seem to have been written by a different author. The first, "The Winter Soldiers," is just as great as anything in "The Short-Timers;" the second, "Travels with Charlie," comes off like "Dances with Wolves" in Vietnam; and the third, "The Proud Flesh," almost reads like a political book, with long diatribes against the US government. Gustav Hasford wrote three novels-"The Short-Timers, "The Phantom Blooper," and "Gypsy Good-Time"-before he died in obscurity in Greece, where he had exiled himself after being released from the California prison he had been sent to for stealing thousands of library books. www.elise.com /store/0553057189/The_Phantom_Blooper.html   (276 words)

Trivia for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) The same ploy was used by the President of the United States in Superman II (1980) to conceal his identity from General Zod, played by Terence Stamp - who plays Chancellor Valorum in this film. George Lucas reportedly wrote The Phantom Menace in the same binder of yellow ruled paper in which he wrote the original Star Wars (1977) as well as American Graffiti (1973). SPOILER: Ray Park, whose swordsmanship is showcased in Darth Maul's lightsaber battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, worked as the Headless Horseman's fight double in Sleepy Hollow (1999), and also choreographed the sword fighting scenes in that film. www.imdb.com /title/tt0120915/trivia   (3332 words)

Amazon.com: The Phantom Blooper: Books: Gustav Hasford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Most of his friends are dead, back in the US or missing, maybe captured by The Phantom Blooper, a legendary Marine who has defected to the VC. Instead, the Joker of the Phantom Blooper is a caring guy, who seems to just want to live off the land for the rest of his life. So bad are the Americans that the main character (Joker Davis aka the Phantom Blooper) can gleefully participate in the castration and crucifixion of one and blast others from the sky. www.amazon.com /Phantom-Blooper-Gustav-Hasford/dp/0553057189   (2359 words)

The Phantom Blooper The Phantom Blooper starts talking but I can't quite hear what he's saying and I hope that the grunts on the perimeter can't hear him either because the Phantom Blooper's grasp of the situation is too damned precise and if we listen to him we'll all go plain fucking crazy. In fact, the Phantom Blooper is so determined to win the debate that he fails to notice that the sun has come up. While my mind drowns in a red and fl river, the Phantom Blooper is dragging my body off into the jungle to bury me alive in a Viet Cong tunnel as a wire-strapped fetus stuffed forever into a damp silent wall hundreds of feet beneath the impenetrable rain forest. www.chss.montclair.edu /english/furr/Vietnam/blooperall.html   (18112 words)

Phantom Blooper. (BroadwayWorld.com) Posted On: 5/23/06 at 03:40 AM When I saw The Phantom of the Opera, a few weeks ago, the curtain got stuck on one of the sides of the stage, and they had a bunch of guys trying to fix it, but it got stuck throughout the entire first act. So the phantom didn't dissappear and meg would have revealed him if she pulled away the cape. Posted On: 5/23/06 at 01:33 PM one night when I went to see Phantom one of the managers didn't catch Don Juan Truimphant when thrown, it was quite funny but they handled it very well no one except me and a few other repeat phantom go-ers noticed lol. www.broadwayworld.com /board/readmessage.cfm?thread=898131   (704 words)

Rush Hour 2 - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Even more satisfying is the film's hilarious blooper reel, one of the best clips of outtakes since A Bug's Life.

: RevolutionSF - Bill, the Galactic Hero : Review Because of his "heroism," Bill is awarded the coveted Purple Dart medal, and a trip to the Imperial homeworld, Helior, whose surface is completely covered by a city. Unlike the old guard, Isaac Asimov found the book amusing, and said it was "fun." "Isaac was a gentleman and he had a sense of humor," says Harrison. Bill, the Galactic Hero does share many of the same themes as Joe Haldeman's Hugo-winning The Forever War, but by the time Haldeman the Vietnam vet (and winner of the Purple Heart) wrote his work, all the humor was gone. www.revolutionsf.com /print.php3?id=1120   (1784 words)

The DVD Journal: Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace Taken on its own artistic merits, The Phantom Menace — for me and pretty much every older fan I know, anyway — is a maddening mixed bag. What's doubly frustrating is that the movie's worst moments are placed cheek-by-jowl alongside its best — making it tough to chapter-search The Phantom Menace to watch only "the good parts." That fart joke, for example, is right there in the otherwise dynamic pod race. In terms of presentation and design and quality of extras, the Phantom Menace two-platter set really is one of the better DVDs yet produced. www.dvdjournal.com /reviews/s/starwars_phantommenace.shtml   (2716 words)

For Fighting and for Fun: Kubrick's Complicitous Critique in Full Metal Jacket The Phantom Blooper is the protagonist that gives Hasford's second novel, from which my opening quotation comes, its title. The Blooper is the voice of an American turned Vietcong propaganda machine; nightly the Blooper broadcasts to Americans in their bunkers the message that the Vietcong are a brave and honorable people defending their motherland. As what Louis Althusset would identify as an "ideological state apparatus" (see `121-173), film, like the Blooper, inculcates an imaginary version of social relationships, a version that assumes dominance through repetitive interpellation. www.temple.edu /isllc/shorr/essays/kubrick.html   (5034 words)
