The "other site" has been reporting some significant compression issues as well as a smaller bit rate and file size for the U.S. disc (possibly an error by setting blu-ray specs before encoding), but the French disc is encoded correctly.

This response from someone who contacted WB was posted on blu-ray.com back in June: "Hello. Sorry for the delay in responding to your message(s). We have corrected the problem on the BEDLAM/GHOST SHIP Blu-ray disc. We plan an initiative that will provide those who bought the initial disc with a...

Just a heads up. I purchased this from Movies Unlimited and the wrong disc is inside the case: the disc is "Play Dirty" (Michael Caine). Several other people online have reported the same problem.

Regarding the audio issues: does anybody have contacts at Shout to see if they have addressed the issue? I have the region 2 DVD set from the UK that I would gladly loan to them if they can use it to fix everything.

Just came across a bad disc: The Cowboys from Warner Brothers. It's bronzing, I tried playing it anyway but it freezes right around the 2 hour mark.

Uh.... some controversy over on BR which reports this is an older scan incorrectly timed and graded, one person's post: "Kino Lorber's transfer ruins the film. Gone are the inky blacks, deep-shadows, and lamp-lit pools of light in the fog. In fact, the contrast is boosted so high, gone is the...

I just got the copy I ordered from BullMoose and it's a pressed disc. I only had time to skim through, but it's not a new remaster unfortunately. Probably from the DVD era, It looks pretty good, just not great.

Someone on blu-ray.com is saying that seasons 1 and 2 of this set have been "remastered" and quietly snuck out in newer versions of this set. Is anyone aware of this? Go to the site and read the last user review.

HUGE "3 for 2" sale going on right now, which is basically buy 2 get one free. It includes blu-rays and DVDs and there's a MASSIVE selection. Check your wish lists :) https://www.amazon.de/gp/promotion/A1PJRK6QXS1U1F?ref_=plp_pc_dp_imp_A1PJRK6QXS1U1F

Glad to hear about Grey Lady down, mine is still in transit. Another Universal one I'm really looking forward to is Ffolkes. It's listed as "North Sea Hijack" and is due August 25. One I would recommend avoiding is "The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid". PQ is really bad, it looks like and old...

Is there a complete list of all the flipper titles (and re-issues) that is kept up to date? I was hoping the original post might be that resource, but no.

Thanks for reporting all these, would never have know otherwise. I stumbled across Resurrection on pressed disc a few months ago at a different store, just FYI if anyone's interested in that one.

Just rewatched this a few months ago, I'm hoping for a release also. I wonder if the soundtrack has anything to do with the delay.

Got the three Concorde releases today. "The Getaway" looks pretty great (some mild filtering, but nothing terrible). "Unlawful Entry" is only fair (more noticeable filtering and a washed out, soft look to it). "Where The Money Is" which is an absolute mess (heavy DNR, heavy EE, no grain...
