What fun for those of you in LA! If I lived anywhere near there, I’d be all over this.

I was hoping there might be more things happening for the 50th anniversary. I know, it’s cult movie with a pretty small following. Really, apart from more screenings what else is there I guess?

Still surprised Criterion never released HEAD as a standalone after that boxed set went out of print (Easy Rider and The Last Picture Show, for instance were released by themselves). Since I have the Criterion DVD as part of that box, and I have the blu-ray with the Rhino complete TV series box I guess that doesn’t matter much either.

What I would LOVE to see, however, is the longer, test-screened version of the film that got cut down to the version we all know. Assuming that complete version of the film, or at least all that additional footage, still exists. THAT would make an incredible 50th anniversary release... putting both versions out as a deluxe edition.

Really GREAT!! Really hope someone audio/video records the Q & A talk!!!! Proffesionally..or otherwise.Rhino could use the footage as a bonus dvd extra! 2 weeks notice is not enough time to take a trip to L.A. with expensive last minute airfare & hotel costs!.....I'm in Boston & at least Micky Dolenz had a "Head" screening here & 10 years ago,I was very fortunate to attend the Head 40th anniversary screening at the same theatre with the other 2 Monkees - Davy Jones & Peter Tork!...so glad that 10 years later it's the other 2 - Micky Dolenz & Mike Nesmith!

Weren't Peter and Davy at the 40th anniversary screening of Head? Wish I could go, but too far.
