How could you not be compensated for a DVD release? Didn't contracts include at least some royalty provisions for future video releases, whether in the5b4n current formats like VHS and Beta, or in future formats? Or were you all just paid cash and told to 'go home' at the end of shooting. Sounds like a crappy deal.
I always liked NOTC. The whole 1980s music and look make it an enjoyable film today. -

Funny how they don't have to pay you when they release the DVD, but when I used to buy CD's to replace LP's I have - I have to pay full price (while I should only be paying for the disc, as I already paid for the content). He who has the law firm -

I'm a fan of the film, but what should you really expect? If MGM puts in commentary and all the other bells and whistles, it'll bump up the price.
We'll be lucky to get damn stereo on the transfer. I'll bet you the final product looks as good as my VHS tape. -

As many people on message boards have suggested, you should get a computer audio program and record a free commentary in .mp3 format for the fans.

If I can I will, but although it may be free to the fans, it will not be free for me. Got a computer audio program lying around? IF MGM sues me or I suffer repurcussions as a result and they won't hire me, will you pay my legal fees and support me? LOL.

I don't think it's in any way illegal to record an audio commentary for a movie you don't have the rights to: see www.rifftrax.com for a library of Mike Nelson (of MST3K) commentaries for films like The Fifth Element and Road House, not to mention thousands of fan-created commentaries for whatever film they please (Roger Ebert mentioned fan commentary sites in an article). And there are plenty of free audio recording programs available online such as Sharecrow, all you need is a computer microphone and a copy of the film

Watched Night of the Comet again a couple of days ago. This is one of the few movies I watch repeatedly. Who wasn't captivated by Kelli and Catherine Mary. The scenes in the mall are classics. I just can't choose which of them was more beautiful. Maybe I'll just have to watch it over again to decide. Oh, by the way Kelli, you are prettier now than you were then. BEST WISHES. Jay

Yeah, no kidding This is one of those movies where you're just compelled to watch it every time it comes on. When it aired last week (?), it was around 3 AM so I TiVo'd it. Such fun I haven't seen it in years
