Pink Pompeii DVD

[William Duffy]

Hi all

The disappointing thing with the Director's cut of Pompeii is that the CGI
space footage is mostly taken from the BBC's Planets series, so it's not
missing footage reinstated, or even new footage specifically for the
Director's cut.
I do like the other actual rare footage though, such as the extra
interviews. I know that the movie has been released now 3 times, the 2nd
being with the Dark Side of the Moon footage, which is the first version I
saw, & liked the most (although I prefer pre-Dark Side Floyd best).

William
