    The early 70s and the late 30s were the best eras for film imo

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Poor Things -- in Blu-ray

    Sounds like high end users would be better skipping the disk and the included digital code and going straight to the digital UHD purchase. A real shame. Forget it Mr. Harris. It's Disney

    The "male garbo" for nils ashter is maybe a stretch, but I've never seen this in a good print and I'm looking forward to it. And like so many giants of old, John Carradine is always superlative.

    QM File: THE FBI (ABC/1965-1974)

    I just started with Season 1. I've wondered about that myself. I thought he had a good bit of screen presence and charisma. He appears to have largely disappeared from Hollywood by the end of the 60s. I'm going to buy the book I think.

    l Thanks for the political analysis. Maybe someone else will comment on whether the film is any good.

    The Official Disney Movie Club Blu-ray Exclusives Thread

    BTW. I hate Disney the corp. Not a hater in general but with what the corp has done to Fox titles, and Disney titles, and new releases, well, I think Five Nights at Freddie's should be set at Disney World.

    Well, I guess I no longer have to decline the feature title. Does anyone have a list of DMC exclusives?

    I know nothing about it, but I predict Thelma Ritter steals every scene she's in.

    Universal Shows - List of other shows they own, pre 1990

    I'd love to see Darren McGavin's The Outsider. I understand that there are no transfers. Perhaps the popularity of Kolchak on METV might convince someone to pick it up and transfer it.

    Press Release Lionsgate Press Release: Cutthroat Island (1995) (4k UHD Combo SteelBook) (Walmart Exclusive)

    Wow. The 4K release no one was waiting for. Next up, the 4 hour expanded Summer of Sam.

    Wow. So I guess this is loosely based on the separation of Pakistan and India? I didn't know that there was a film dealing with that. And I love Alan Ladd. Great news

    If you don't own it but want it, are should you pick the blu-ray over the 4K?

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Star Wars: A New Hope — in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I think that's closer to accurate in terms of people thinking Empire was better, but it was never viewed as simply sandwiched between the two entries, especially as this was the first real trilogy. Personally, I still prefer the original with ESB second.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Star Wars: A New Hope — in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Idk about technical grosses, but I don't think your comment is accurate. ESB continued the Star Wars craze in full. It was only with Return of the Jedi and the Ewoks that fans and critics complained about the galaxy far far away.

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    For myself and others with no memory of this, I looked it up: https://hanna-barbera.fandom.com/wiki/Hanna-Barbera_Records I will say that the Yogi Bear/Three Stooges album here is one of the best children's albums ever. All original voices and a good story. I played it for my kids numerous...

    If you look at "a few words" post, the "few words" are there and then the comments follow. Sometimes, RAH comments on the comments. If you look at a review, you get a few lines, a "continue reading" with a link to a separate page with the body of the review. Then, I think, the comments are...

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    Hong Kong Phooey is the best post 60s HB character and definitely deserves a blu-ray. A blu of SD-Dyomutt would be an excellent opportunity to release the still missing Dynomutt episodes, and if it happened to include the never released pre-Scrappy Scooby Doo Show episodes so much the better!

    Great Movies Almost Ruined By A Single Performance

    I liked his performance, but Daniel Day Lewis is doing John Huston's Noah Cross in There Will be Blood. The voice, cadence and timing is 90% the same

    Wow. Thanks! Some long desired titles here. Also, the collection format is a great way to go in terms of keeping less famous titles from being overlooked or orphaned.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    Other than Death Wish and a few 80s programmers, I never saw any other Charles Bronson vehicles. However, with Kino’s many Bronson releases and positive comments about them, I decided to explore a notable 5, three of which are Kino releases: The Mechanic (1972): Bronson’s breakthrough role as...
