WB could be sweeping GWTW and The Jazz Singer run the rug like Disney's done with SOTS and other films.
I seriously doubt that as Blu-rays are readily available for both films!WB could be sweeping GWTW and The Jazz Singer run the rug like Disney's done with SOTS and other films.

As I suspected, Warner's is celebrating 100 years with a regurgitation of stuff everyone here already owns. I'm not even seeing 'new transfers' advertised for Doctor Zhivago or The Bodyguard - both of which could definitely use the upgrade. And leaving Gone With the Wind and Driving Miss Daisy off the Award Winners set is like listing the 100 greatest musicals of all time and leaving off The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady!
Instead of spending coin on getting more of their, as yet unreleased catalog onto one disc format or another, we're being fed sets of things we already own, and 4K singles of stuff that already looks pretty damn good on standard Blu.
We'll have to leave it to George Feltenstein and WAC and see what this coming 11 months nets us in terms of new to Blu content. Here's to hoping. Hope springs eternal.

Are they both in print as I haven't seen The Jazz Singer anywhere since it was originally released back in the 2000's and same goes for GWTW, since 2020 I haven't seen it in any Barnes & Nobel.

Tchotchkes, what language is that?It's all about the tchotchkes.
Warner loves their Box-O-Junk sets. They've been putting them out for years. Someone must be buying them.

I could be snarky and say look it up but since I'm Mr. Nice Guy , here you go:Meaning what?
Who are they marketing these for? Physical media is not mainstream anymore. It is a collector's market, and we (collectors) have these titles already. |
It would have been nice if it was just one box set of 25 movies including something new or needed a new transfer.I’ll prognosticate here.
90 days after release date, these sets will be found at Costco, selling for $47. Two for $90.
I’m at a loss to try to understand who the potential customer might be.
Those (according to The Bits) are coming in Volumes 5 - 8. As noted in the Beau Geste (1939) thread, we go back to he beginning with the first Warner film, Don Juan (1926), and pick up the early history.It would have been nice if it was just one box set of 25 movies including something new or needed a new transfer.
They should have placed George Feltenstein to curate a truly substantial group of sets that represent WB's history as a studio. No MGM, New Line or RKO should be included. |
