Bruce you were right about this being what we hoped for. Never doubted you, but damn glad you are correct.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

I just nerded all over the floor. Do we have a release date?

I am sorry. With all the posted information I neglected to to put the release date up...

January 21, 2014

2014 hasn't even begun, and we've already got our first candidate for "disc of the year."

 

[Reed Grele]

Needless to say I'll be clicking on the AMAZON pre-order link as soon as it appears.

This is the bargain of the year for 2014!

 

[Steve Tannehill]

Wow! I can't wait!

 

[The Obsolete Man]

Finally!

 

[Angelo Colombus]

What concerns me a bit is the listing on Critereon's page for this on the aspect ratio. It is listed as 2:35:1. is the the intended AR for this film in the general release? or should it be 2:76:1 as is already released on the current MGM disc? Also if this is the case, what will be the AR of the 197 min. version?

I noticed that too...i hope Robert will give us a answer to that.

 

[Charles Smith]

Are we up to 2000 responses in this thread yet?

Is it January yet?

 

[Robert Harris]

Aspect ratio for both is 2.76:1.

Radio calls are included, as well as some trims and entire sequences that haven't been seen since the film was re-cut.

Running time is approx. 197:40.

Often little details will get adjusted after the first rush of posting. Don't fear about the ratio, the disc WILL be correct.

 

[Lord Dalek]

I suspect the AR information on Criterion's page is an error, as it frequently is when they add new titles.

 

[JohnMor]

Happily for me (or rather my wallet), these releases are all ones I can wait for the 50% sale. VERY glad the MANY fans here got the great announcement today they've been waiting for so long!

 

[JohnMor]

"Don't Fear the Ratio!" I LOVE that song!

I believe you can now share some technical details of what you viewed during your visit.

Needs more cowbell.

I know how much you love this movie, Ron, and can understand some info getting lost in the excitement.

 

[Charles Smith]

Thank you, Mr. RAH, sir. For everything.

(It's probably hard to tell, but I am bowing very deeply. Hard to type this way, but hey, it's a special occasion.)

 

[Stephen_J_H]

RAH, in the early days of your research for restoring this film, you indicated that your dream package would include a SmileBoxed version of the film. What are your thoughts now?

 

[Mike Frezon]

I guess the foreplay is over.



Or does it remain underway until January 21st?
