    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    I love this thread. Since the release of the films the thread has settled into a true club atmosphere with friendly banter all inspired by our mutual love of the subject. Many threads become contentious after awhile and mired in endless debate and those serve a purpose at times, but it's also...

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    Bob, has the Blu of THE DEVIL BAT (PRC, not Monogram) been reasonably successful enough for someone to embark upon similar, quality releases of Lugosi PD films?

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    I don't blame studios for not tackling projects that have an aura of public domain surrounding them because it's often just too muddy for the general public to figure out what's what. You know, the old "Why should I pay more money for the same thing I can find in the Walmart dump bin for a...

    It's been reported in another thread that AMAZON duplicates these Warner Archive titles themselves as DVD-Rs and therefore will never have the PRESSED releases for the same title that you can find elsewhere. Just an FYI for anyone considering Amazon for the WA titles that initially come out...

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    Some of our more learned members can answer this and why it's so, but I believe there are Monogram titles owned by Warners and others owned by MGM. The EAST SIDE KIDS movies are very interesting, often changing tone from picture to picture and, at times, offering drama to offset the...

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    That's a very good point, Randy. I bet there are fans of the series who stop watching once Leo is gone, which is a shame, but perfectly understandable. Having watched all these with the recent TCM airings and recording them on DVD-R, I kind of got my fill of them for awhile and don't feel...

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    Whew! And to think I owe it all to our illustrious moderator, Crawdaddy. If he hadn't posted in this very thread way back when that TCM was going to rerun the first 10 films in the series on a one day marathon last summer, I never would have decided to record them all on DVD-R. Having missed...

    Neil, besides TY, what other blank media do you recommend? I've been using Verbatim for most things, but recently found out in these very forums that their new "Life Series" brand is awful. Fortunately, I've only been using those for about the past 6 months, so I"m not too concerned. Some...

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    John Hall, thank you so much for the detailed notes about the reel mix up. It was invaluable in making my DVD copy and keeping some semblance of order and ease in the process. It was a bit involved, but thanks to your comprehensive starting and stop points, I was able to create a seamless DVD of...

    THE BOWERY BOYS on DVD: continuing discussion of Warner's eventual release plans (NEW UPDATE 10/2 Po

    Robert Osborne gets exactly one evening per month to select 3-4 movies of his choosing for airing on TCM. Other than that he has absolutely nothing to do with any decisions over what gets broadcast or released on DVD. I have seen him promote a variety of DVD releases, even those from other...
