I agree with all of the above but will continue to buy Arrow and Severin releases if the price is right. The Warriors LE from Arrow is well worth the money. I also note that the Disney releases are multi-disc titles, as are some of the Arrows and Severins. You'll find that if you buy local, you...

I'm more concerned about preservation elements. As digital is constantly evolving and codecs change regularly, WB needs to make sure they preserve elements in order to take advantage of improvements as they come along. How many of us still have obsolete technologies like LD or VHS/Beta hooked up...

From what I've seen, the 70mm prints were indeed nice, but I think the point RAH is trying to make is that once you go digital for restoration, there's not much point in presenting in 70mm when a 4K DCP will more accurately reflect the restoration. Any back and forth between digital and analogue...

We're in a different regime with Warner now. Since they entered into the SDS joint venture with Universal, they seem to be more willing to licence titles to Criterion, Shout!, etc.

As much as I love the original poster art, this is a pretty iconic image for the film.

Robert, Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery. I have some very limited experience with heart transplants, as my cousin had to have one in 1985 owing to a congenital heart defect which caused his heart to swell to 3 times its normal size. The medical technology has advanced significantly...

Vera Cruz was Superscope. I believe the first film actually labeled as Super 35 was Greystoke. I know it’s essentially the same process with a different AR in the end product (2:1), but there were some titles “converted” to super scope while not being intended for the format (Invasion of the...

Not just any man. Rick Baker, and his work as a "man in a monkey suit" is arguably one of the best things in the movie.

My first screening of Aliens in the cinema was a formative experience, but I'll be damned if I can tell you what the colour timing looked like. All I can tell you for certain is the following re: presentation: The projected image had rounded corners, likely because of an improperly filed...

Gonna try and redeem my digital codes again tonight. Wish me luck, as up here, it's been a bit of a gong show.

I hear this is terrible, but that Steelbook is very eye-catching.

And lots of British expats here in Canada who catch up with it on PBS or Britbox, my parents included.

I haven't seen this since the VHS days, but I remember it being really good. Glad that Warner Archive is releasing this.

Again, to reiterate, this is not the Star Wars scenario where the director/producer is saying, "the old versions don't exist." There is no evidence that the OCNs and other elements have been junked. Disney is well known for preserving their elements, and unless you have some evidence that...
