LUDIC LOG

News item: Kennedy Assassination Film Digitally Restored.

In a world where innocence reigned and anything was possible...one magic bullet can shatter a million dreams.

First released in 1963, this special deluxe edition DVD digitally restores for the first time ever one of the most magnificent, influential films in cinema history. The timeless and resonant story of a handsome and beloved leader, his beautiful and devoted wife, and the unattractive and deranged killer who spattered the brains of the former on the dress of the latter, The Kennedy Assassination has long been a favorite of adults, children who enjoy violence, historians, archivists, and demented conspiracy theorists alike.

In addition to the classic moments that have entered the lexicon of film ­ the "brief moments of peace before the nation's hope is dashed forever" scene; the "mysterious man with an umbrella" scene; and the timeless "oh, man, all over that cute pillbox hat" scene ­ you'll get these fascinating DVD features, never before available in one edition of The Kennedy Assassination:

- Digitally remastered in stereo sound with full Phase Correlation Motion Correction photography

- Three language selections:  English, Russian and Cuban Spanish

- Documentary feature:  How Everything Went to Hell Forever on November 22nd 

- Interactive "Where You Were When You Heard Kennedy Got Shot" game

- Audio commentary by Jim Garrison, including the Back and to the Left video with music by Lou Bega

Whether you're an aging boomer who thinks the whole country has sucked for the last 40 years, a conspiracy-minded crank with an axe to grind against big labor, or just someone who likes seeing people's heads get peeled back, your home entertainment library will not be complete without a copy of The Kennedy Assassination.
