Any fans of the movie Death Becomes Her, just got it on blu ray, the transfer was flawless

Streep and Hawn were at the top of their game and Willis was not an insufferable twat, yet. Had groundbreaking special effects. Lots of genuine laughs. Always one of my favourites, looks as good now on blu ray as when first released.

Does this version include the Tracey Ullman subplot and the chase ending cut from the theatrical release ?

R1 No, and no.

Awesome movie.

I loved this movie.

I dream of an alternate universe where Herman was played by Woody Allen or some other real nerd. Bruce tried too hard to be a nebbish. And let’s face it: upwardly mobile women date Jewish nerds with money all the time in Hollywood

What are the special features? Any bloopers?

Well, shouldn't it be "flawless"? I mean, a robot did it.

That’s a Blu-ray that screamed for the deleted scenes and alternate versions. That they’re not included can only mean that they must be have been/are truly dreadful. Still.

Flaaaaaccid.

Cant decide between this or She Devil as my favorite campy Streep performance but it was and is too funny...being 'cheap' today is worn as a badge of honor...

Death Becomes Her is a national treasure.

by Anonymousreply 15August 29, 2018 8:47 PM

Maybe they don’t want to pay the actors involved in the original ending (Tracey Ullman and others) so that is why it hasn’t been released?

R9 knows fuck all about anything. No fucker, they do not remaster and clean up every god damn movie. In fact most older movies from the 90s look like shit on blu ray, dickwad.

Jesus. Chill. What the hell, are you an uptight cinematographer?

by Anonymousreply 18August 30, 2018 2:01 AM

Another fan here. I'm still impressed by the special effects. It's a fun movie to watch while smoking.

Totally.

I love that movie. I wish I owned it.

One of my favourite movies. My boyfriend and I used to do the lines to each other in everyday life.

I can see that. Much of the dialogue can be applied universally.

Yes that one R23. Whenever the phone rang he would say "who keeps calling?!?" Every time.

"By the time the Narcanol wears off..." and "That was totally uncalled for..." and "Just look at me - I'm soaking wet" and "keep your ass handy..." and "I can see right through you" and "you have to completely eliminate" and "Thank you Rose. Thank you very much" etc.

His favourite: "Do you remember where you parked the car?"

And my favorite - "you thought I was cheap"...

It went on and on and never got old.

I never knew Meryl wore a wig in this, I thought it was her real hair. It was one of her most glamorous roles, they literally sprayed her with make up.

by Anonymousreply 25November 2, 2019 11:08 PM

Her body looked amazing for 42 years old, she just popped out her 4th kid a few months before they started filming.

Meryl is a prude, she had a body double for her tit flash scene in Madison County

I’m guessing CLINT had a body double for her tit flash scene in Madison County.

Didn’t Meryl release her milk bags freely for Nick Cage in that flick about the weirdo writer and his twin?

Meryl showed her nipple in Silkwood.

(snide voice) Do you remember where you parked the car?

At the end of "Death becomes her" when Meryl and Goldie are walking down the stairs of that church and fall and break into tiny pieces. I don't know why, but they always remind me of Paris and Nicky Hilton.

I don't know, maybe it's the superficiality that they exude. Especially Paris.

The original ending had Ernest and Tracy Ullman as elderly people and Mad/Hel dining on top of a mountain debating where they should vacation next. They are totally bored.

Ernest and Tracy clasp hands and his youthful one is exposed. Did Ern's hand live on?
