A great reason for torrents to exist

BitTorrent is used to exchange illegal DVD rips and music files, and that’s bad. It’s also used to exchange copyrighted works that aren’t available on DVD, and that’s still illegal but not without some merit. And here’s a great example of that.

The footage from September 11th, 2001, has been kept off TV for years, but there is a torrent for ABC’s 9-11 footage (1.5 GB). It is not edited; instead, it is the entire news broadcast, uncut, for over four hours. I wish all of the networks and news channels would release their 9-11 footage on DVD. In the meantime, you can grab this.

There is at least one seeder I am aware of, so leech away.

“Return to the Batcave” is on DVD?

I didn’t realize you could buy “Return to the Batcave.” This was a TV movie which seemed to have a multiple personality syndrome, but it was a lot of fun. It details the making of the 1968 Batman TV show in flashbacks, and that part is played straight while focusing on such silliness as Burt Ward’s second fiddle status and Adam West being caught in a threesome with two bat-groupies. (That part isn’t really funny; I think it’s included at Adam West’s urging just so he can brag.) The other half of the movie is a wacky modern story about Adam West and Burt Ward searching for a stolen Batmobile. The adventure is a campy Batman story with thugs wearing shirts that say “thug” on them and encounters with a pseudo Catwoman and Riddler played by Frank Gorshin and Julie Newmar (not respectively).

It’s great to see Gorshin in one of his final roles doing what he did best; for that alone, I may buy this one. No Bat-completist should be without it.
