I've been working my way through the DvDs Squirrel gave me. it turned out there is a second season of Blood Ties, which explains all those episodes i could have sworn I'd seen. I've been playing with the Apocalypse Redux DvD set. They actually have the 1979 version there too, so one can poke around them both. I hadn't realized how much work went into that sound track. The saga of actually shooting it, yes; the battling composers and the music vs. sound effects department war, not so much. I've never seen it in theaters. I still remember watching it the first time as a child. It was on cable one afternoon, and I was drawing a play set for my sister in the living room. The music came on and I was memorized. (My parents weren't doors fans. I was familiar with some of their songs from the radio, but the End wasn't one of them). That beautiful, smokey, lost voice. Martin Sheen's expression. The trees and the napalm. The despair and destruction. I've been in love with the damned thing ever since. I can't help it.
