There doesn't seem to be a Dogs In Space thread here; time to remedy this...
Does anyone know if/when the Dogs In Space DVD is coming out? Richard Lowenstein said in 2004 that he was working on it and the bonus features (which included a making-of documentary shot at the time of filming), but it doesn't seem to have emerged.
Is it true that the project was scuttled because, under recent changes to censorship laws, the film has become illegal in Australia (as it depicts underage sex)?
...Laika?
Strange, i was going to start one yesterday but couldnt find a good enough image on the net to post with it.
wonder if the house is still for sale, sure there was a thread around here about that.
THERE IS ONE!!
You just have to know where to look!!!
i saw this film when i was 8. I wanted hair like Saskia
isn't there dvd copies around anyhow?
Man, i adore the primitive calculators in this.
Apparently there was a UK DVD, which reportedly had very poor quality (it was apparently made from an old VHS copy or somesuch). As far as I know, this is now out of print.
I was thinking the other day how fucking ridiculous Michael Hutchence’s character is in this movie.
If I knew someone like Sammy I'd give them a stern talking to and tell them to get their shit together!!!
you mean you never knew someone like Sammy?
man i wish it was still the 80's and everyone hated their parents and moved out into crack dens and ate dogfood to get by.
personally, i blame scientific progress.
There were no metal gods in this film, though, Plier, if there were, he might have pulled his socks up and not been a loser smackie that killed his girlfriend and shagged the underage girl.
I was disappointed that Nique Needles' character didn't have a punch on with him after being kicked out of the band. Those keys totally made that band.
It was set in 79, smd
I did a transfer of a friend's VHS copy a couple of years ago to DVD - came out well, better than the UK DVD copy, which was rubbish.
I did read something about copyright release issues - Hutchence related - but can't find the link now.

Nipps' new house is kind of like what would happen if people lived this way into their thirties, but without the smack.
