Without getting too far down the rabbit hole, no you didn't. Arick found that print at Todd-AO and he thought it was a 70mm print of the International Version. It wasn't until they rented it out to a revival series and the print actually played in front of an audience did anyone realize they were watching the pre-release workprint that tested so poorly and caused WB to have Ridley Scott revamp the film. Arick found the print and, though it inspired the 1991 Director's Cut of Blade Runner, the print itself isn't a "DIRECTOR'S CUT" as a cineaste like STeVE should know. It's been a while since I've ready Future Noir, where the accidental discovery of this workprint is documented, but I don't remember STeVE's name being mentioned (nor do I remember Liz Taylor's, through she had been married to Michael Todd. I can't imagine she would have had anything to do with this personally even if she did have a financial stake somehow.) Hoofy found the Director’s Cut while supposedly looking for elements of Around the World in 80 Days, whose rights may belong to Liz Taylor. Yet, on another thread, he says that he also witnessed the film being shot on the WB lot.

STeVE: "I was in charge of keeping the Xerox machine clean, dusting the gross, black toner out of the system (and all over me) with a little brush."
I doubt that anyone would entrust this task to ol' liar.

STeVE knows this forum exists and he knows he is going to be publicly ridiculed when he makes posts like that. I suppose at this point in his "career", any press is good press. The more outlandish shit he says, the more attention he gets. It's really all he's got to go on this day in age, now that his golden ears have been replaced with his golden years.

Cleaning a photocopier. Something else Steve can't do properly without fucking it up.

I doubt that anyone would entrust this task to ol' liar. Wait. Was this before or after he was compiling Buddy Holly albums and remasterbating The Who? And cleaning the Xerox machine is a janitor level job. Somehow I don’t think the guy doing this job has free reign to walk around on movie sets as he pleases (from rival companies at that) or take home discarded scripts or fraternize with the talent. Also, did he work for MCA or Universal Pictures? I know it’s the same parent company, but there are several books about MCA as it was crazy mobbed up during that time and the Universal organization was highly segregated. MCA was rightly seen as the armpit of that company and it seems very unlikely the golden boys of the film arm would be caught dead with anyone from the record side.

Anybody with any stroke at all would have thought the same thing "Who's that little asshole?".

He was at "Uni" in 1978? Wasn't he about thirty-two at the time? Maybe he means the record label, that wasn't active in 1978.

According to Wikipedia, Definitely the record division, because wasn't it the story that it was Irving Azoff who 1) called the FBI on Steve Hoffman's ass and had them raid the Hoffman residence, 2) personally fired Thieving STeVE after the FBI raid uncovered in Steve's house stolen tapes that were the property of MCA, and 3) made damn sure that Thieving STeVE would henceforth be persona non grata in the record industry, thus condemning the faux Tonmeister to slog it out for cut rate reissue labels based in P.O. Boxes. Winner of the most epic sentence of the day award.

"Thieving STeVE" has a nice ring to it.

It's 100% true.
