There's a full review of the set here: Dugpa.com - A David Lynch and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Resource Site

Yes, this is also my understanding. Lynch confirmed years ago that he'd approved a new picture transfer for Lost Highway, and that's why it seemed so ridiculous that it took years to finally be released. If there's some argument as to why the old picture transfers are correct, I'm curious to...

Don't worry, I know the facts you're talking about. John Calley is the guy you have in mind. I wasn't trying to make a qualitative comparison of the new covers vs. old; I'm just saying that if Warner was going to bring out all the DVD bells & whistles that Kubrick wouldn't have endorsed while he...

Not that I expected it or have any good reason to complain, but that European edit might actually be the single biggest omission from these new discs. I'd love to have an R1 copy of that thing! (I know the R2's readily available, but multi-region viewing's still a pain in the @ss for my DVD and...

A year or two back, I remember hearing that the Dirty Harry series would be released on SD and HD formats to coincide with the release of a Dirty Harry video game for next gen consoles. The game would have starred Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Laurence Fishburne... but I recently read online that...

*sigh* I've had a sealed copy of the 2-disc Lord of War sitting on my shelf for a couple months now. I grabbed it for under $10 at Target because it was marked 2.40:1. This thread prompted me to finally tear the package open and pop the disc into my computer. 1.78:1. Son of a...

haha, I dunno. I've seen all the Criterion Leans, but I'll buy the rest of this MGM set sight unseen if it ever sees the light of day.

Has there been news re. these titles or am I misreading the above?

Me too. Considering how common it is to release multiple edits of a single movie these days, releasing both widely-distributed, Kubrick-approved versions of The Shining in a 2 or 3 disc set seems like a no-brainer to me. I've always been meaning to break down and order the R2 disc, but for...

I'm not much of a Blade Runner buff, but I also remember Scott saying that he shortened a number of FX shots and quickened the pace slightly for his Alien: Director's Cut. Not sure if that's what he's done here, but it would help to explain why we're not seeing a lot of time added overall.

I've only read the past couple of pages, so apologies if this has been asked elsewhere... ... but how many of you assumed Harry was dead after the grenade went off in his face? I just figured you die when a grenade goes off right next to your head, and that killing his best friend was the...

I'm surprised there've been no posts to this thread since Warner's comment about the Kubrick SEs not being out until (roughly) Christmas '07. Personally, I'm happy to wait. In terms of content, I'm perfectly happy with my existing discs. If waiting means that I'm more likely to get...

Here in Canada, BestBuy's exclusive is a DVD-sized reproduction of William Monahan's screenplay. I opted for this over the steelbook exclusive available elsewhere. The whole thing's packaged in a thicker cardboard sleeve with artwork similar to the original one-sheet, and it actually looks kinda...

First called Warner on 11/29/06. Received replacement discs (in Canada) on 1/31/07. I felt inspired tonight to see if I could also get my 5 posters, but after calls to two different Warner numbers that bounced me around without success, I gave up. Maybe I'll watch the proper 1978 Superman...

The Caine Mutiny Court Martial had a legit R1 release by Lionsgate in Canada, 4 or 5 years back. It was a cheapo disc - I bought mine for $5.99 CDN - but it was hard for them to screw-up too badly since the film was made-for-TV to begin with. I recently gave away my copy to a local specialty...

Just to throw in my two cents - I'm with Colin and Crawdaddy re. the merits of Flags. Justin, I appreciated your note about adoring the film's ideas. Eastwood's evenhanded perspective (which I was excited to see him apply to a WW2 picture) is probably my favourite aspect of the whole movie...

Okay, I'll take a shot at this: 1. Superman Returns 2. Mission: Impossible III 3. Flags of Our Fathers 4. Letters From Iwo Jima 5. The Departed 6. Rocky Balboa 7. The Fountain 8. Borat 9. United 93 10. Pan's Labyrinth So yeah, it's a "personal favourites" list, rather than an "I...

HMV in Canada recently had piles of the old Scarface box (including both versions) for $24.99 each (less then $22 USD), I guess because of the recent Platinum Edition "upgrade". The sets might still be kicking around up here. I don't know if they ever went south of the border at that price...

Nice Top 10 list, Tim. I only mention it because there aren't too many people who share my tastes. Superman (at #1), Rocky, United 93, Flags, Departed, and Children of Men are all on my list, along with M:i:III and, from your "still need to see" list, Pan's Labyrinth and The Fountain. I thought...

Hmm, that's relatively good news. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I'll get mine this week, too.

We need to do something about that poster situation. I don't know how they can mention a mail-in poster offer on the packaging, sell that packaging in Canada, and then have the offer not be available to Canadians. I haven't got a mailer yet either, but now I'm eagerly checking the mailbox. I...

I just mean that the e-mail address was around before. I'm pretty sure it appeared earlier in this thread, and it was initially given to me when I talked to some random guy at Warner's Toronto office. I sent them an e-mail at the time, but got no response of any kind. So don't worry, Warner...

haha, "no-lubed" is my new favourite word. Thanks, Robert. I'll be renting this soon. I'm curious, and if I laugh a few times, it'll be better than most other comedies.

Thanks for that, Joe. I already e-mailed that address back when it was first making the rounds. Maybe I'll drop them another e-mail tomorrow, just in case. Good to see we aren't being ignored.

Somebody should call WHV Canada or something. I guess I'll be patient/lazy for now, but I'm starting to get tired of waiting... Maybe next week I'll call, if we haven't heard anything new before then.

No, I haven't received a mailer yet. At this point, I'd even be willing to pay a few bucks out of my own pocket to resolve this a bit faster...

I just called the number and spoke with somebody who took my name and looked-up my file. She said that because I'm in Canada, my replacement (along with all other international customers) will be handled separately from the US replacements. I asked whether she had a timeline for me, and she said...

Here in Toronto, I've noticed both HMV and BestBuy have the 2-disc limited edition releases of these titles "on sale" for $29.99 or less. It's not exactly a bargain price by today's standards, but still, I've never seen these editions so cheap or in such mass quantities. Makes me wonder if...

Still nothing here in Toronto, Canada, and I called on November 29 or thereabouts. I guess I'll be calling on Tuesday to see what's happening for Canadian customers.
