DavidLean.com Updated

After much neglect, DavidLean.com has been updated. Mostly significantly, I've improved the ability to contact me and order product from the Quadbod Film Memorabilia page. I've also deleted the Bulletin Board sectioin. A lot of other "under the hood" enhancements in terms of improved code and cleaning up old files/folders.

There is still much to do and some new features will be coming over the next few months. But, for now, the site is back online. As always, I welcome visitors' comments and feedback.


Announced: 2-Disc Collector's Edition of "Lawrence of Arabia" on DVD.
To be released on May 8, 2007, a Collector's Edition that appears to be the same, or very similar, to the prevous "Limited Edition" released several years ago.  So far no details of what is to be included are available.  Hopefully, this will be the more accurate SuperBit master rather than the previous Limited Edition or Single-Disc edition that contained incorrect music cues and bad color timing.

Please note: This DVD has now been put on "HOLD" status. Ship date unknown.
