Is it just me, or does everyone have a repeat of Glimpses of Australia from Volume 1? It's not a misprint. On both volumes, it's clearly stated and included.

The beauty of a market economy is that nobody has to look at a calendar and decide when it is time to kill product X. It happens all by itself.

There were two authoring issues, each on a different set. The first involved the Prowler of the Everglades features and the second involved the Secrets of Life feature. You can read about them here...

Yeah, I was just trying to find a release date for the new set for a DVD Profiler entry, but I'm coming up empty. About the only clue I get is the 2015 copyright, which narrows it down to the first three months.

Not for nothing, but it's sort of our own fault because we keep buying this stuff. Not you specifically, Steve, but the persistent number of folks who figure this is as good as it will get, so might as well.

Everything's so far has been a touch soft but watchable. Did some spot checking and it's not as awful as you'd think. I wouldn't want to project this on a big screen, but it's okay on modest displays. One plus is every feature has English subtitles, so the three Vault titles are now...

Found it on the shelf as well. Haven't checked the quality yet, but they are stuffing 4 movies on one side of a dual layer disc, for a total of two discs. They're bound to have compression issues. My question is does anyone know when this was released? It just sort of snuck out there, as...

Actually, the top post of that thread should contain a link to the latest version of the headshot database. It's a ton to go through and I personally discard maybe 75% of it because they were standardizing on headshots taken in the last decade. All well and good, but they ended up using the...

I usually wait for the final build but looking over the notes I see that the alternate profile addition is going to be huge. It was probably the biggest complaint with this program and they finally put it to bed.

Don't know for a fact, but yesterday was a federal holiday, so perhaps bumped a day.

My copy of JATB is from Good Times. It retailed for about 5 bucks, was a pressed disc and features the original sepia tone for the framing sequences. Considering it's a Good Times product, it's likely they "borrowed" from the old Image laserdisc release. Regardless, it's the best copy I'm...

Personally, I've checked out Serial Squadron's stuff before I get anything from VCI. They also do reviews on their message board for anything serial related.

I *thought* these were verified as simply being rehashes of the Sony releases which means international dubs. AIP dubs require additional clearance time with Toho and expense, which implies that they would be advertised as a selling point.

It's been a while and I admittedly haven't re-read through all 12 pages of the thread, but I seem to recall the day for night scenes looking fairly awful in this release. They were so bright it looked more like an overcast day. I'd love to see that fixed, although Disney being who they are...

I tried to check this out but I obviously don't have the ear for it. Then it occurred to me that if there is a speedup issue, perhaps total running time would reflect this. So, from start of the Universal fanfare to closing credits fade... Criterion 1:11:55 W.C. Fields Comedy Favorites...
