Twilight Time September/October 2012 Releases (1 Viewer)

[JoeDoakes]

I know there are many fans out there for Enemy Mine. Other than that, I continue to be mystified as to how Twilight Time chooses its titles.

 

[John Hermes]

How about The Young Lions in Blu-ray?

 

[Richard V]

Wasn't Olive going to release Twilight's Last Gleaming this summer? What's happened to that?

I like the cover for Steel Magnolias. It's got a nice minimalistic flair and it's in the spirit of the original poster.

 

[John Hermes]

Still waiting for Major Dundee. I'm ready to fall in behind the Major.

Bueller, Bueller? Anyone?
On Edit: nevermind, found my answer in another thread.

A Southern double feature; but yuck, STEEL MAGNOLIAS is the first Twilight Time blu-ray I'll buy that I won't really care about watching, although I'm sure I have friends that will be happy to watch it again on blu-ray.
I can't wait for THE SOUND AND THE FURY - Faulkner and Alex North go so well together - and I'm expecting my German blu-ray of THE LONG HOT SUMMER pretty soon to replace MAGNOLIAS for my own personal double bill.

I tried to pre-order The Sound And The Fury at Screen Archives but I couldn't find it on their website.

Screen Archives doesn't usually open up the Pre-Orders until about four weeks before release. We haven't reached that point for these titles.

I don't mean to come across as sexist in any way, and perhaps I'm just unaware of the Blu-Ray buying demographic. Going on personal experience, most females I know my age, and older either "can't see the difference" between Blu, and dvd or really don't care about the format much and would be satisfied with a dvd copy.
In my opinion The Blu-Ray format is a mostly male driven hobby.
The fact that a major studio will license one of the most popular "chick flicks"(oh, lets face it this film is THEE chick flick) to Twilight Time in a way confirms my thinking. 3,000 copies across the country doesn't go far.
Again, I apologize to any girl that supports the Blu-Ray format, and more power to you. This is entirely my opinion on the general consumer scale.

Ah, but you're forgetting gay males, and they cling to STEEL MAGNOLIAS like mother's milk, and many of them are into Blu-ray. Stereotype? Sure, but I'm gay and like STEEL MAGNOLIAS and all of my gay friends have most of the film memorized.
I think it was not the best move to license it rather than release it themselves with possibly more bonus features. I'm going to preorder it as soon as it is up for preorder as I can see it being a quick sellout.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS should sell about as well or a little better than AS GOOD AS IT GETS did. Mostly the same demographics for both titles.

The SOUND AND THE FURY, can't wait to pre-order that one. Nothing like good old southern Gothic culture based on William Faulkner novels, even loosely.

"Steel Magnolias"(1989) and "The Sound And The Fury"(1959) are now available for pre-order at www.screenarchives.com...

As stated above,THE SOUND AND THE FURY is now available for pre-order at Screen Archives.I have ordered mine with a few others I was waiting to grab in the same parcel (eg. THE WAYWARD BUS). I think it contains one of North's best scores and that's saying a lot.I can recommend the liner notes in the Varese soundtrack. I like the Twilight Time cover art ,although it has a definite GONE WITH THE WIND look to it.( Apart from being set in the South, the two movies have little or nothing in common......) A collector's item for those who wish to see Yul Brynner with hair (ie. a wig), which didn't happen very often. This movie and SOLOMON AND SHEBA are the only ones I can recall.

 

[TheVid]

I see THE SOUND AND THE FURY has a DTS-HD 2.0 soundtrack listed, so I hope that means a matrixed stereo score for the movie (along with the stereo music tracks). I'm running on the assumption that this a 4-track movie with a down conversion for pro-logic like THE ROOTS OF HEAVEN.

Night of the Living Dead bluray extras.
"Isolated Score Track / Audio Commentary with Filmmaker Tom Savini / Original Theatrical Trailer"

 

[Lord Dalek]

EDIT: never mind its the remake who cares about that.

EDIT: never mind its the remake who cares about that.

I do. I prefer it over the original. Can't say that about a lot of remakes but this is one case where the remake is more "dynamic" IMO.

 

[JohnS]

Enemy Mine and Night of the LIving Dead (1990) just went up for pre-order.
I ordered NIght of the Living Dead.
