This is gonna be a short one: For all you sci-fi buffs out there, you probably know the wild behind-the-scenes drama this movie went through, the reason why the trailer was way off the mark, and that feeling of, well, emptiness it leaves you with after watching. There's however one noteworthy detail to you young people out there ☺, particularly in this era of streaming: on my old DVD copy, there are some deleted scenes that could've made the film better. Why Mr. Coppola decided to leave them out (and not some other stuff) to 'save' the film, we'll never really figure out. I've always had a soft spot for this flick, and I still believe there's a solid movie hiding somewhere in there, waiting to be discovered. But I guess we'll never live to see it.
