You had only posted twice in the last eleven days prior to today, and not at all in five days (although Iāve no doubt you were visiting the site regularly). Maybe he means that.
Yep! The forum felt rather, Stantonless the last few days, thatās what I meant.

But Iām not the only one repeating himself from time to time.[/quote]
See now this part was indecipherable to me

I thought you gave a comment to my reply, which was a variation of things I already had posted.
At least you miss me ;), others hope I never post again. 
But actually I donāt have much time at the moment, and then, the forum is at the moment less exciting than it once was.
I agree, not sure why though.
I give the forum 18.75 out of 20. It is exceptional and cult!!

I donāt want to curtail your discussion on women in spaghetti westerns, gentlemen - itās an interesting topic in and of itself - and Iām all for the conversation organically taking a brief sojourn or two from the thread topic, but we havenāt had a post on this thread relating directly to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in two weeks, twenty-odd posts ago. More than happy for you to continue your discussion as I said but, unless weāre bringing it back to TGtB&tU, Iād be grateful if you could do so on the dedicated thread HERE (and Iām happy to fold these last few posts into that thread if youād like?).
Thanks guys.

The only major female character in this is Maria, and she only has a tiny role in the film.
Why do you address this answer to me?
I was intending to reply to someone else. And turning the subject back to this particular film.

It would be nice if someone did.
Iāll tryā¦
Well, I dont like this film anywhere near as much as I used to, but I am looking forward to Kinoās theatrical blu-ray, since the āspecial editionā is still one of the worst things I have ever seen. I hate how that edition is now marketed as the only version in existence. Iām no fan of Star Wars but I guess I know how those fans feel nowā¦
Iām afraid I canāt spend too much time on this, because I have to get back to packing blā¦dy boxes, ready for moving home.
But, sorry to hear that your love for the āGBUā has waned. Itās amazing, the amount of people who have taken a dislike to this film, simply because of the added scenes. Personally, I love them, although I wish we had the choice of an original mono soundtrack, rather than the 5.1 re-mix.
As for the forth-coming āKinoā release, I understand that it will be a Region 1, which is no good to me.
However, Deanā¦yes, it is starting to sound a wee bit like a āStar Warsā situationā¦seeking out the elusive āoriginalā versionā¦
The dubbing in the restored scenes is beyond awkward. Itās up there with Django 
If you mean Clint, and Eli, coming back, after all those years, to dub the lines, then I disagree. Personally - because Iāve loved the film, for so many years, I thought it was great that these renowned actors agreed to do this.
However: It would have been nice if fans of the film had been given the choice (which is easily done, nowadays), of watching the disc, with the option of watching the original (with mono sound), or watching the newer version.
I think that the main gripe, from fans (which I completely understand), is NOT being given the option, to choose between the two. I must admit, that I do still struggle with the 5.1 gun-shotsā¦Iāve never got used to them.
Iād rather hear Leoneās original sound effects, rather than ādoctoredā ones.
Do you have the 2014 blu-ray? That has a version of the mono track, but of course you have to endure the lovely sepia tint they slapped on the image.
If youāre talking about the last version they released, with the yellowish tint, then I think you will find that the so-called āmonoā track is not true mono - just a bastardised version of the 5.1 track.
My Blu-ray plays As and Bs, so Iām looking forward to the Kino release. My only gripe is that thereās no option of the Italian cut with English audio. I like the additional scene with Angel Eyes and the Confederate soldiers. The longer desert sequence works better for me, too.
Agreed.
I know Iāve said it before but as fantastic as this film is, I still think it pales in comparison next to For a Few Dollars More.
