Like ALIEN 35th, this is just a release with 'stuff" if you don't have any other.....buy; ALIEN came with a mini comic book of the original movie tie-in and some cards of HR GIGER art.
As for THE ABYSS.....that is insanity for this to be still MIA
because they would have proudly advertised it as a 'feature' like they have done with Journey to the Center....
plus i wrote them and the only thing they told me was that it was NOT from the DVD master
anyway, word gets around-and nobody has mentioned this as 4K-which i think would be...
well, all will be happy to know that FOX Europe created a restored 4K remaster with DTS-just a few months later-why TT wasn't able to get ahold of this is a mystery; The film is probably not popular enough to pull a Journey to the Center scheme. All TT would tell me was that it WAS NOT using the...
well, thats just great. Only a couple of months later, FOX Europe went ahead and issued a 4K restoration with DTS sound
How is it that Twilight Time missed out on this? it isn't even advertised as 2K
Look on Amazon.uk for the info
I went ahead and got the Steelbook edition from them
By the time Donner used Parsons muzak in LADYHAWKE, Alan Parson was already on elevator muzik and "smooth 96" radio stations-he was never really had street red-he just produced MUZAK
Hollywood Reporter should be taken with a grain of salt: its purpose is to push industry product, news, etc
Somewhere I read that DVD sales still make up 60% of home viewing/sales-yet here they are trying to bite the hand that feeds them-by pushing BR and treating DVD purchasers as second...
LIFEFORCE just cant seem to get a break; There is a 'new' NTSC issue of it out from R3 Korea-(I only just discovered it) July 2010-(the R1 MGM disc is from 1998-and was the perfect candidate for an anamorphic transfer from the start) I felt certain that at this late date "Who could possibly...
It seems you can only get the 2011 edition on DVD in the 9 disc set-BUT will Warner go cheap and sleazy and use the 2005 transfers of will they be upgraded to 16x9 anamorphic?
Not enough classics and catalog on BR, I hardly buy DVD anymore thanks to the studios; Im pretty sure that DVD still outsells BR 2-1; I will sit out BR until the next thing comes along or the whole thing collapses and DDL is the norm-BR is one last gasp to squeeze money from us-the studios are...
But "nobody" lives in the hinterlands so being unwired is irrelevant to the situation by sales %-anyway most places get DSL, they just dont have Fibre-optic yet. But the studios seem to be shooting themselves in the foot as Blu Ray sales are still meager by % and the masses of americans still...
a proper FOX Classics 2 DVD SE of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1959)
they did SEs of all their classic big Sci Fi titles in 2007 except they curiously left this one off;
Wouldnt be the first time- at a FOX chat long ago someone asked about a first release of JTTCOTE on-DVD
and who...
i dont claim to know the length but I THOUGHT Leonard Maltin's film guide implied a LOT was cut-but that was years back when I read this
BUt you are correct on all other accounts-it was an 'end of an era Roadshow' that didnt make the cut, AFAIK
its a fun, big dumb film but beautifully shot- a...
and will we have to put up with a CGI Seaview? Abbotts 20 foot model with high speed fans to break up the water surface was ingenious-and good enough for me.
ive read it had been remastered once a couple years back in PS only, so maybe this time its WS.
Itll never happen, but it would be nice to see a restored uncut version, ive read exists
