Yes, there were reported audio issues, at least in the first pressing (both the 4k and Blu versions, I understnd)

??? Up to now, it was my understnding that ALL of the Blu-ray versions in this first set were of the latest scans (and that Universal stopped including remastered Blus beginning with Vol. 2).. I personally have yet to go 4k (let's just say I've had a lot of setbacks in recent years) but had...

I think the next Bond will likely be an Indian/Desi--British actor --- possibly Riz Ahmed (Road to Guantanamo, The Sound of Metal). Not that I recall 007 as ever being described in the books as looking or being South Asian at all, ofcourse, but if the producers' intentions are to take things in...

I actually didn't know about the pre--programmed thing. Is that a relatively new practice (clearly, its not my line of work)? I remember in 2005 when CBS premiered "Walker Texas Ranger: Trial By Fire", the first (and only) "Walker" reunion movie, and a rather different situation occurred.. It...

I can sooo relate to this...

Wish we could get a Special edition of "Star Trek III" that updated some of the less-than stellar FX like the warp-speed scenes and the obviously fake snow in the scene where David and Saavik discover the regenerated Spock, and fixed some of the dialogue (esp. the "Enterprise is *twenty* years...

If there are new extras, esp. involving the surviving cast, I imagine Ms. Cornell will mention it on her social media pages (unless she doesn't want to seem not "with it" or smth in discussing physical media in such a judgemental environment)

"A DVD will last 100 years!", they said..

Actually, that was the A&E *DVD* version (all editions, incl. 2009/final editn) --- although, as ScottRE said, two of the episodes remained in incorrect order.

THe big question is will the episodes be presented in the fan--preferred *chronological* order (or atleast a close approximation of this) or in the order of their original UK/Australian(?) airing? The Network Blu-ray releases had them in the UK broadcast order.. Don't know about the U.S. A&E...

C Like I said previously, while this practice has been a thing throughout film history, it *truly* took off in the modern (1980-- ) era..

Actually didn't know there was ever a magazine back in the show's heyday.. Will have to track down an issue or two.

I'm sure you're right about the hardcore fans. I'm also (very) sure I wouldn't want/have wanted to cross paths with either Hauer or Bean's versions of "John Ryder" in real life.. :>]

Can't believe I forgot about this one.. Great opening music.. I believe the Criterion editions begin with the orig. 70s logo.

Hauer was awesome and the original remains a contemporary classic, but Sean Bean's take was no slouch either..

For a while, around 2010--2011, there was serious buzz about a high-budget sequel being produced in which Sarah Miles was to reprise her role. It obviously never happened and now Ms. Miles is long since retired. It would seem the best chance this film likely has (barring a sudden major...

I agree they don't. Even the late-'80s --- 90s shield would be far better than what's currently there.

I've revised my post for clarity + to add a few more titles

Assuming no one has done such a list (I couldn't find one), how many films can you think of wherein the opening theme or song begins playing over the opening studio logo/s in place of the usual fanfare or silence (*Not counting those in which the logos' appearance is significantly altered or...

Looks like a miniature water tower (w/ an unusually-shaped top) from a '70s Godzilla film

I'm hopeful the recent reissue of THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR ('68) on Blu-ray is selling well so that perhaps a 4k release might finally happen -- and if it does, I (+ I'm sure I speak for many) would really like to see the orig. late--'60s UnitedArtists opening logo restored to the film (the...

I agree that would've been nice.. While every label is different, ofcourse, there are major/ higher--end publishers that won't put subtitles or CC on *ANY* of their bonus features (incl. full-length alternate versions of films), so it sadly seems unlikely a low/mid--range label like VEI would do...

Wish they would issue this transfer on Blu ray for those of us who have yet to go 4k

It would be nice if Criterion finally released some more of the older Godzilla +/or other kaiju films they're sitting on to coincide with this..

I know four films I *definitely* would be interested in seeing --- on 4k UHD (or atleast 4k--remastered on Blu ray), that is: Help!, Yellow Submarine, Magical Mustery Tour, and Let It Be!

These are the ones from "over 30 years ago" I was referring to. I believe the laserdisc versions of that era used the same artwork.

There has yet to be a DVD, Blu ray or UHD release that uses the original poster artwork as cover art (at least in North America). In fact, the last time such artwork was used for any home video release of the Bond films -- not counting P. Brosnan and D. Craig films -- was over *30* years ago...

Assuming you refer to the "Octopussy" Rykodisc cover, that is the same artwork which adorned the 1996 "James Bond Collection" VHS and laserdisc editions of the films (which would be the final editions of the Bond series for both formats).. MGM/UA later adapted the "JBC" cover art designs for DVD...

If nothing else, the two '50s theatrical films (which are included in that set) "The Lone Ranger" and "The Lone Ranger & the Lost City of Gold" starrng Moore and Silverheels really should get a restoration and Blu ray release. As both Classic Media and rights to The Lone Ranger franchise itself...

If Arnold ever manages to get his "King Conan" film made, there ought to be a scene early or semi-early in the new movie that mirrors Thulsa Doom's intro scene from the first film -- in this case it would be Conan's entrance -- as a little hat tip to CTB cinematographer the late Duke Callaghan...
