Interesting news. I haven't been on here for ages for one reason or another so this came as a bit of a surprise. Anyway, welcome to the new owners, and all the best going forward.

I don't know if it's been mentioned - I don't feeling trawling back through 700+ comments - but I just found Home From the Hill (the original DVD release) cannot even be read/recognized on any of my players/drives. Not happy, very poor show WB.

Good for you.

Yeah, acknowledging all the caveats about the reliability of screenshots and so on, I'm not that sold on the look.

I see DVD Beaver has reviewed the new Criterion version.

Nope, still the same. Odd, but thanks for trying. Actually, I've just manged to track it down via the simple expedient of googling: Diese Erde ist mein dvd

That link's not working for me, Thomas - it just leads me to the Amazon.com homepage.

That's interesting news - thank you. I see a listing for Yankee Pasha on Amazon.de but I can't find anything for This Earth is Mine. The latter is one I'm quite keen on; in my opinion, you can never have too much Henry King in your collection.

I see DVD Beaver has gotten around to reviewing this set here.

Looking back through my old Amazon orders, I see I've had the old UK DVD since 2007. I wasn't aware it had gone out of print in the meantime.

I'd have thought that Australian DVD, while All Region or Region 0, would be a PAL disc. Anyway, how is this movie still not on Blu-ray anywhere in the world?

Hi Dave, I've not been around here for a long time now and would like to update my settings and so on. In short, I'd like to have the username which is displayed for me changed from Livius to my own real life name, which is Colin McGuigan. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. Colin

Just stop defaming legitimate companies by using terms like "illegal" when what they are doing is nothing of the sort. Quoting clauses in your licensing agreements has nothing to do with other companies, and you appear to have an issue with acknowledging this. I get that you're unhappy about...

Might be a good idea if you didn't make highly dubious claims about other companies "illegally" releasing titles then. Region locking is only a legal requirement if a contract states that it is, and in the case of a company like Universal releasing their own titles and certainly not licensing...

I'm not "promoting" anything - I merely made mention of an alternative to a product already referred to and its availability on a major international retail site, nor am I making claims about the legitimacy of any companies without offering any backup on public fora. It's been a long time since...
