I assume there was no attempt to reintegrate the footage of "Cities" and "Big Business/ I Zimbra", and that that decision was taken because the elements for those were incompatible with the finished film?

I also received my order in less than 48hrs. from the time of ordering, without paying the premium for faster postal service, and I live on the other side of the country. Way to go, ClassicFlix (and USPS). I have neither 4K nor 3-D capabilities, so I'm stuck with regular old blu-ray, and . . ...

TTD is a favorite of mine as well. I'm assuming the AR will be correct?

Please note that the new FAFDM is the most complete version of the film ever released on home video in North America. If you have any older US release you have a slightly shortened film. The extra content doesn't amount to much--about 30 seconds--but it includes the end of the beating scene...

Could someone tell me if the included Blu-ray is identical to the one in the previous Kino release?

Why settle for the DVD when a Blu from the UK is available? I've had my copy for months.

Let me just add my voice in support of having the original US theatrical cut of the film faithfully represented on home video. I saw an IB Tech print of GBU projected in summer of 2015 and the colors on that looked nothing like the "yellow-ized" abomination that MGM released. I am also concerned...

I used to have the LD. If I recall correctly, the Academy ratio was used on that release.

Got my Black Friday order today as well (12/13).

I wouldn't call it satire exactly. It turns some of the conventions of comic book superheroes on their head, but it also at times embraces those conventions. Specifically, when Kick-Ass is trying to do his thing classic irony-of-situation is achieved: reality falls short of fantasy. But when Hit...

UPDATE: A message showed up in my inbox the other day, completely out of the blue: At first I was a little freaked that I was being approached by someone I didn't know, on a matter where I had not initiated contact. But I soon got over that once I realized what he was saying (and I have to...

Sure: http://www.eldorado-film.de/the_film_passion_poetry.htm In the event, I ordered through amazon.de as they had something else I wanted. If you combine orders, the shipping doesn't go up, and it's possible to come out ahead that way.

Okay, my copy came and the release is utterly worthless. Sourced from videotape, the image is horizontally stretched, rendering all the actors short and fat. Detail is lacking. Subtitles are blurry and very difficult to read. The original print was in very bad shape: lots of damage and missing...

The question that no one has asked yet is the most important one: Who's doing the actual MOD? If it's Allied Vaughn again we're in trouble. In my last batch of Warner Archives, every single title freezes 30 seconds before the end. I don't object to DVD-Rs, just DVD-Rs that are shoddily produced.

Thanks for the tip. I'll order a copy and report back.
