Comments

  • Are the oak trees from the set still in the park or Subdivision?
  • Why is this entry allowed to use blantanly copyrightened movie stills in it's entry photobook? Copyright photos are NOT allowed on this siet...Isn't that not allowed? Why are they still here, they should be removed by staff.
  • The film's images had entered the public domain in 1974, the story has not, therefor the aforementioned photos (stills) are NOT in violation of any copyright laws.
