Yeah, I’m embarrassed by the complaining snooty ingrates over on that forum (of which I am a sometimes-active member). To hell with them. WHY BE GOOD? is an excellent romantic comedy, and my absolute fave Colleen Moore film. And the print and soundtrack are in miraculously good shape; in fact...

Ok, now I’m totally confused. I want to buy a non-bootleg Emergency! set but now I’m scared after reading this thread. Found a set on eBay for $29.99, and the seller had already sold 52 of them. I’m guessing it’s a boot? And I want to make sure I get the “Final Rescues” bonus episodes. Any info...

I snagged a legit set off eBay in excellent condition, $53 shipped. The seller posted many pictures of the set and it definitely looked legit, and it definitely was. Just arrived today. All the other sets I saw on eBay were definitely boots. I think I got really lucky. Also, I’ve never seen the...

I finally got round to watching my copy of this. I think it’s a fine little B war picture, extremely entertaining and even thrilling in a few spots, not remotely awful as has been alleged elsewhere. Love the cast, all of whom are giving their all. You can tell everyone was busting their asses to...

I’m guessing you didn’t like the setup for the revenge plot. Nasty, I grant you, but if you like amazing 3D and classic Kung Fu action you should really watch the rest of it sometime (maybe just fast forward past the first bit) because it’s absolutely phenomenal for those two factors. Crazy...

Just picked up the complete series set and am having a blast going through it, haven’t seen it since its original run when I was a teen. Watched the first disc of season 1 so far. Such a gem of a show, holds up wonderfully. So glad I picked this up.

There’s no crosstalk on my Sony display or my girlfriend’s JVC display. Opening titles sequence looks perfect. It’s Ron’s display used for review that is causing his issues. Incredible depth and amazing popouts, although I agree that they got too close to the camera for some shots. Don’t let...

This set was apparently reissued by Shout Factory in October of last year at a reduced price, but it looks like the essential bonus disc and foldout game board included with the original set is MIA on the new set. Dammit, I really wish I’d picked up the original set. :(

No original theatrical version, no sale.

I’m bisexual, and I think that the assertion that Paramount has an anti-gay agenda regarding music clearances for home video is ridiculous. I love this film and am currently making do with an anamorphic widescreen DVD bootleg that I found online for download, must have been ripped from a stream...

I can’t imagine ever not loving Danny Kaye’s films, especially THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY and THE COURT JESTER. And STILL they’re MIA on Blu.

As the BFI Blu release of BOAN already uses the beautiful Photoplay restoration, is absolutely jam-packed with extras, and has a booklet, deluxe hard case and nice cover art, the TT version will be extremely hard-pressed to beat it. I'll be interested to see what they come up with though...

The buck stops with WB, who could have done a proper subtitle track. They're not a struggling small company. I'll just have to hope that at some point this classic will get the properly subtitled Blu-ray it deserves.

...apparently the subtitles are botched. And I'm not talking about typos and grammatical errors, which kinda go with the territory; I'm talking about HOH stuff like "musical interlude" and "thwacking continues". So sayeth Bob Cashill:

And, it's been nearly five more years since I last posted in this thread, almost eight years since I started it, and still no release of THE MORNING AFTER...what the hell, Warner? Where's the love for one of the greatest television films of all time?
