Starner) Organization: Pennsylvania State Univ. Lines: 23 Summary: Within the past several years, just about every Science Fiction Movie that ABC has telecast has been "Edited for Television" in this fashion. Superman, ST:TMP are only two of many. I was not surprised by any of the inclusions. Scenes are added ONLY at palces where there is dialogue only (no music or sound effects). Usually, the added scenes were not redubbed (as the rest of the movie was) therefore the quality of the voices is much worse, and background noises can be heard. (one good example of this was in STII in the extra scene in the engine room where Scotty tells Kirk that Peter Preston is "his sisters youngest". It sounded like somebody kicked over a pile of Trash Can Lids in the background. But I ENJOY the added scenes.... In the case of ST:TMP it turned a dissapointing movie into an enjoyable experience (with only 12 minutes of added footage). -- Mark Starner Computer Science Department (814) 863-0392 303 Whitmore Lab {akgua,allegra,ihnp4}!psuvax1!starner The Pennsylvania State University starner@penn-state (csnet) University Park, PA 16802 starner@psuvax1 (bitnet)
