Rattle & Hum: I Love The 80s Edition

[Jimmy Jazz]

Rattle & Hum deserves a better special edition than this...

from @u2:

Rattle And Hum: I Love the '80s Version is set to be released on February 3, 2009, according to a listing on Amazon.com. It's a 2-DVD set, although there are no details about what's on the second DVD.

It looks like U2 has little or no involvement in this release. This is part of a partnership announced earlier this year between Paramount Home Entertainment and VH1 to re-release dozens of classic movies from the 1980s. The previous movie releases, like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Some Kind Of Wonderful, all include an extra DVD with four music videos taken from the movie soundtrack. If that's the plan for the Rattle And Hum release, the extra DVD might include music videos for "Desire," "Angel Of Harlem," "All I Want Is You," and ... who knows what the fourth would be. There was a video for "When Love Comes To Town," but it was taken directly from the movie.

Looks like Paramount and VH1 are trying to cash in on U2 before U2 officially release their remastered version, or will we see an official re-release of the movie?

???


THIS will be the OFFICIAL RE-RELEASE, Paramount is the only owner of the movie rights.

I wouldn't worry about this too much the previous I love the 80's editions were also 2 discs but the second disc is a four-song music CD which includes: Echo & the Bunnymen's Lips Like Sugar, Erasure's Chains of Love, INXS' Need You Tonight, and a-ha's Take on Me. The first disc is normally just a repackaged previous version - so it's highly doubtful there will be anything new here

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

sounds pretty lame

Could be worse:

WTF
Is that for real?!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yes it is unfortunately...

it was this crappy gum they sold in the early 90's... I have the box somewhere at home.

 

[Galeongirl]

Holy crap I never knew that!

They're the sole owners? That's too bad...

 

[U2girl]

I wonder if the second DVD will be made of those Sun studio sessions...

 

[Danny Boy]

It will probably be videos from four other bands from the 80's or some such crap.

Rattle and Hum was recently re-released on Blu-ray, so perhaps this is a new digital transfer from the HD master? My sneaking suspicion is that this is just a repackaging of the same old DVD.

 

[bigjohn2441]

all this re-releasing is bullshit! give us a goddamn LOVETOWN DVD!!!!!!!

I agree with you, to me the REAL RE-release, was the Blu ray edition, with the best possible sound and image...

This is only repackaged for the nostalgic masses... )

 

[paco_one]

no respect man, that pink in the cover ins'y the u2 style, i never buy.

 

[OrARoundabout]

I got it on blue ray for 15 bucks...STEAL




WISH IT CAME WITH SOME EXTRAS

 

[Clawgrabber]

hahaha Bubble and Gum! I bought that from Osco Drug in Kansas City in the early 90s and kept it until the gum on the inside grew moldy and stuck to the paper.

Who wants to chomp on a slice of gum the size of a cd and as thick as a pancake. Yukky
also it didn't play in my cd player because i was cheap and opted for the Sony SansBubble which didn't play gum cds for some reason.

 

[flybabe]

^You are joking...right?!

 

[Danny Boy]

So this is out today. Anybody check out the bonus CD to see what's on it?

 

[kennerado]

uhhh, the Blu-ray SUCKS. The print is so dirty with grain.

U2 need to buy the rights from Paramount, get Joanau to do his own true cut and remaster it.

I think it's funny. With or Without Chew and I Still Haven't Found What I Stuck it On... In Wad's Country is pretty cute too!

 

[johndarling]

and how, pray tell, is this worse?!?!?!!

That is amazing!!! I want some!

You are SO right! Completely agree. I want some too!

(It could be 'arse flavoured', you wouldn't have to eat it I don't think the taste is really the point )

 

[ShipOfFools]

That bubble gum thing is really hillarious. I'll bet it was dreamed up by a U2 fan.

About the Rattle and Hum DVD, I won't be buying it. If it's nothing new and comes in such crappy conditions, it's not worth it. I'll just wait for another release to come out.
