I viewed the "4K IMAX" presentation of 2001 at 3 different local theatres over the weekend prior to Labor Day.
The version presented did not exhibit any of the mastering errors present on the current bluray or previous DCP presentations.
During the "Dawn of Man" sequences, the sky looked...
Stick (1985) was originally set to be released in August 1984 with Annie Potts among the cast. She receives immediate after-title billing on the original 1984 poster. Potts even appeared on the Tonight Show in the summer of 1984 for Ghost Busters (1984) and mentioned the film coming out later in...
Apparently, Kino announced Stick (1985) is planned for BluRay release in January 2019.

Special features that could have been included:
1. "Ridley Scott: Eye of the Storm", BBC TV documentary, 13 October 1992, 55mins. A good documentary, if you can find a copy, about making the film and Ridley Scott's career in general up to that point.
2. US teaser trailer (shots of Columbus'...
This is, in fact, the 6th and final teaming of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in a film.
Apparently, they were not close friends off-screen at all - that was all just publicity. Burt Lancaster receives first billing before Douglas in all these films (except Entebbe, I think) as well.
1948 I...
Stanley Kubrick was involved in pre-production up to the point just before the start of filming.
It's interesting that Kubrick left his mark on the resulting film in a few ways, leaving many of us wondering what might have been.

There's a review of this set on tvshowsondvd.com. Gord Lacey is also thanked by name in the booklet as well as some other fanboys from another website. I had no idea Gord was that young. I believe the "original airdate" listed in the booklet for Episode 14 - "Baby Grobags" of 10 September...
> I already purchased the 2 individual season releases, do they Mill Crrek have any intention on releasing seasons 3-7 individually? The answer from the ustownhall podcast was no individual season releases - just the complete series.
I think the reason there are no "be here, aloha" episode promos on Season 1, is that either they were not started until Season 2 or the films/negatives for the promos have been lost. The omission from subsequent Season Premieres and 2-hour episodes might be for the same reason - they were not...
I bought this set about a month ago when Best Buy had the exclusive release window from 6/22/2010 or so. I am quite pleased with this set. This "all at once" release beats waiting 2 or 3 years for the DVDs to trickle out. I'm almost done with Season 3 of the set. The episodes in this DVD set...
As a recent trend, the main reason might be the big sales of Dave Chappelle's TV series DVDs from Viacom/Paramount. Other studios then try to capitalize on that as a sign of what consumers want [not this one, though]. ---
Looks like Season 5 of The A-Team will be 3 single-sided DVDs. www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=6028 Universal has confirmed our weekend report that we can expect The A-Team - Season 5 (the final season) on October 10th. The set will go for $49.98 SRP, for 3 single-sided DVDs...
>> Now instead of releasing YIJ we're apparently waiting year after year so >> he can do hours of documentaries that will hardly be watched. After all >> historians have made hundreds of documentaries over the last few years >> covering almost every subject on Earth. ROTFLOL! This is how I...
One thing worth mentioning are those 6 episodes from Season 2 that were shot on videotape -- far from high-def. The DVD transfers leave alot to be desired in terms of quality. There are quad scratches, horizontal streaks most noticeable at edit points, heavy grain, etc. throughout them. The...
Superboy was actually syndicated by Viacom/Paramount. Don't know if someone else owns it now, though. It was part the "second hour" of Viacom syndicated weekend shows. "Marblehead Manor" was the first half of it. The first "hour" was Star Trek: The Next Generation. At least on my local...
Oh yeah.... I'd bet within 1 year Max Headroom is on DVD or in the works.... Others I'm waiting on.... BBC Dave Allen at Large (1971-1986) 38 episodes US Paramount/Viacom Police Squad! (1982) 6 episodes All is Forgiven (1986) 9 episodes Marblehead Manor (1987-8) 24 episodes...
I have no idea how it was achieved. I was surprised and delighted when I realized the sound was indeed at the correct speed. [I'm pitch sensitive when it comes to music.] The increase in sound pitch from 24 frames to 25 frames per second would be quite noticeable on a show like this as there...
This is good news indeed. I hope Viacom/Paramount follows suit. I only have 3 Warner Bros. TV series on my "DVD wish list": Max Headroom (1987) 14 episodes + original UK pilot [DVD Holy Grail!] Rafferty (1977) Pilot movie + 12 episodes [Patrick McGoohan] The George Carlin Show (1994-5) 27...
I wouldn't wait on a R1 release. It'll likely never happen... (MHO) I recommend purchasing a multi-region DVD player and the R2 DVD release. DVD player would run you about $90 or so at Target. (There are other worthwhile R2 releases, so this wouldn't necessarily be a new player just for this...
I posted some of this in an old A-Team thread. I think it explains the problem well. I forwarded a succinct explanation to Universal and received a "form letter email" reply. The 2-sided DVD problem with Universal reminds me of the old "DiscoVision" laserdiscs, where you had to obtain...
