    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Goodfellas -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I bought it at a Best Buy (same price) last Saturday.

    Decision To Leave 4K UHD

    That's funny, because you're not "that guy" on this forum. Far from it - you have lots & lots of informative and interesting posts.

    Decision To Leave 4K UHD

    For a split second upon seeing only the title, I thought it was going to be a treatise on why you were going to forsake 4K UHD.

    Coppola/Zoetrope version of Napoleon?

    And, now, Walter Mirisch.

    Coppola/Zoetrope version of Napoleon?

    At least it was a life well-led. The obit mentions his "then-girlfriend" Alice Waters - and he conceived of the name of her restaurant, as an homage to Marcel Pagnol.

    Coppola/Zoetrope version of Napoleon?

    LA Times has an obit for Tom Luddy today.

    Pre-Order Some Like It Hot (1959) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    So, it's not Criterion. I thought it would be.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ CITIZEN KANE -- in 4k UHD

    I love Citizen Kane, with it's brilliant screenplay - someone should do a film about that Someone did - if Stanley Tucci's "RKO 281" qualifies.

    Criterion Press Release: World of Wong Kar Wai (Blu-ray)

    For the less-principled among us, such as me, Amazon was selling this today for $60-off, not quite but close to the half-off during a B&N sale.

    Warner Archive Press Release: The Shop Around The Corner (1940) (Blu-ray)

    Sublime. I'm thinking about the quote attributed to Billy Wilder @ Ernst Lubitsch's funeral.

    Warner Archive Press Release: Tennessee Johnson (1942) (Blu-ray)

    I agree. Maybe because it's an election year, although by that criteria we would also be seeing a release for Gabriel Over the White House.

    Mary Tyler Moore and Her Spin-Offs

    It was the variety show where she cast a very young David Letterman, though, right?

    International A PLACE IN THE SUN coming to Blu-ray from Imprint Films!

    Different David ... JBHifi is located in Australia, I think.

    Press Release Columbia Classics 4k Collection (photos)

    They had either the exact same or a very similar set on DVD. For the DVD set, the common denominator was that they were all of the Oscar Best Picture Winners that came from Colombia.

    Crawdaddy's "Random Thoughts" about Home Video, Film & TV

    Yeah, assuming it was genuine (which I hope it was), at least one or two of the crew members were rolling in laughter after Ben's zinger!

    Crawdaddy's "Random Thoughts" about Home Video, Film & TV

    Did anybody catch Ben's comment when the film that played before "I Wake Up Screaming" ended? The crew could be heard laughing in the background, because Ben said - coming up, this week's Noir Ally Presentation, 'I Wake Up Screaming', also the title of the autobiography written by Eddie's wife...

    Pre-Order Underwater (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    The title of the Jane Russell movie recently released by Warner Archive is nearly identical - the only difference is that the Jane Russell title has an exclamation mark at the end. I was momentarily confused; if any of the mods think other members might be similarly confused, perhaps "2019" <if...

    A PLEA FOR WARNER HOME VIDEO TO REVISIT CERTAIN BLU-RAY TITLES

    Too yellow, or too brown (or maybe both). There were lots of contentious threads here. I think at least one member was banned,

    The Police

    I ordered the CD boxset last month. I've received it, but not listened to it (yet). I'm in the United States, but I ordered from Amazon UK. Using today's prices as an example to explain that decision, the cost at (domestic) Amazon is $46.49. When I ordered it from Amazon UK, the cost was...

    FM antenna recommendation needed

    I'm not sure. I always use the amplification. One of the features I find appealing is that this antenna has "both" - meaning the amplification and the "rabbit ears". I should note that this unit might not be best to sit on your TV stand, but - then again - the general advice for all...

    FM antenna recommendation needed

    I've tried many, including more expensive ones - and I like this one the best, by far. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rca-amplified-indoor-hdtv-antenna-gloss-black/3789153.p?skuId=3789153

    Pre-Order Night Passage (1957) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    The dulcet tones (?) of Jimmy Stewart warbling "You Can't Get Far Without a Railroad". I'm looking forward to it.

    Image Makers: The Adventures of America's Pioneer Cinematographers

    Last night, TCM showed an hour-long documentary about John Ford. With all of the extant docs about John Ford, I would guessed the doc shown last night was *not* new, but from the info available on the on-screen program guide - maybe it was. I DVR'd it. Did anybody else?

    The Twilight Time News and Info Thread

    It is probably easier said than done, but if they could find another "Fright Night" to really boost sales, maybe they could eventually commit to new projects.

    This Is Us (NBC)

    Speeding through commercials, however, risks bypassing the occasional diamond in the rough (YMMV), such as ordinary citizen Mac Book (full name: MacKenzie Book) endorsing a Microsoft device. For me, it's not knee-slapping funny; just thought provoking. Who had the idea? Who was tasked with...
