I didn't have any problems accessing the link. Interesting read with great last line. Especially so after just watching Kino Lorber's 4K THE ITALIAN JOB and Imprint's two-bluray-set of THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.
Just read Bill Gulick's 1963 novel, The Hallelujah Trail (originally The Hallelujah Train). My paperback was issued with the movie in mind. The book runs a brisk 173 pages.
The story begins with a journalist presenting his year-long investigative report to newly inaugurated Ulysses S Grant on...
Philip K Dick distilled THAT childhood nightmare with his 10-page short story in the December 1954 issue of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction--- 'The Father-Thing'. I first read it years after when I was eleven. Even today, decades later, I will not read it a second time.

My 4K (#1006) and Blu-ray (#1010) both arrived in separate packages. Slipcases are identical. And Bonus Features listed are identical on each case's back cover art. Booklets are also the same.
Glenn got his disc.
"The disc of the year has finally arrived and it’s 1000% worth the wait. William Cameron Menzies’ flight into schoolboy paranoia now really looks like it ought to hang in the Louvre; the entire show is inspired Modern Art. When Martians conduct a brain-snatching takeover of...
Glenn has posted his take on The Hallelujah Trail ---
"John Sturges’ Road Show comedy western has more in common with 1941 than The Magnificent Seven, but Kino has MGM’s new remaster and the visual result is spectacular. The Ultra Panavision 70 epic is still a favorite of fans of out-of-control...
Regarding David Bruce and Lady on a Train--- His daughter wrote a love song to her father called 'Errol Flynn.'
Lyrics-
In a hall, on a wall, in a house in Reseda
There's a poster held up by two nails and a pin
It's my Daddy, the actor, 'bout to die with his boots on
He's the man standing up...
Thanks Nelson. I just screen-grabbed images off the Zavvi website. They are very good at posting front and back images of their products. And I nabbed the spline images off their Universal Monsters steelbook pictures.
I've used MegaDiscStore on Ebay. I purchased my UHD 6-disc replacement case...
Just a regular inkjet printer, in my case an HP Envy Photo 7155 now. My earlier and cheaper HP Deskjet 340 did a fine job too printing the cover art I downloaded.
For paper, I use glossy Photo Paper. Nothing too expensive. Right now, I'm using Pen+GEAR's 8.5"x 11" Glossy Photo Paper (from...
I have the boxset from Zavvi so I have five discs that I put in a UHD 6-disc replacement case. I had used the cover art in message #461 but switched that out for the "ST TMP The Complete Adventure Box" cover art.
The RonyaSoft's CD DVD Label Maker can be downloaded for a free 7-day trial. I...
Nelson, you prompted me to try my hand at this sort of thing too. $20 for RonyaSoft's CD DVD Label Maker plus scans off my Zavvi box set led to this. Try not to look too hard for the seams.
A. E. van Vogt is credited with introducing the "chest-burster" alien in this December 1939 SF story---
From the website HorrorNews.Net:
"... things got ugly when science fiction writer A. E. Van Vogt sued 20th Century Fox, claiming Alien was lifted from his 1950 science fiction novel Voyage...
