    Status of George Stevens' "The Greatest Story Ever Told"

    Well, Amazon cancelled my preorder. It's currently listed on the site as unavailable. So I won't be the guinea pig after all. Guess I'll stick to the current Blu-ray this Easter.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Tales of Terror -- in Blu-ray

    I watched the DVD of this on Halloween, and wondered how much better it would be on Blu-ray. Looks like the answer to that is MUCH better! I'm looking forward to getting this.

    Status of George Stevens' "The Greatest Story Ever Told"

    I pre-ordered the reissue, hoping for a remaster. I'll either be one of the guinea pigs, or(hopefully) someone else will see get this before mine ships and will give us the good or bad news. If this were a major remaster, I would think we would have heard something about it via Robert Harris or...

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    I hope it happens. DC is publishing a Batman/Green Hornet comic book that uses the likenesses from both of the television shows, so apparently some kind of agreement was made.

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Amazon price doesn't drop a bit during the next couple of weeks.

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    It doesn't surprise me at all that Romero has that effect. He, along with False Face, scared the hell out of me as a kid. The villains are much more sinister in the early episodes.

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    That's actually a great price. My pre-order from Amazon USA was still at around 180 bucks last time I looked.

    Batman The Complete TV Series Limited Edition (11/11)(Blu-ray)(DVD) Available for Preorder

    I'm as broke as anyone(I've had serious medical issues lately), but I agree, Jack. I'm selling other stuff I don't need so I can buy this set. I've waited forever for it, no way I'm missing out on it. Life is too short. But if someone really can't afford it and doesn't have other collectibles or...

    THE HONEYMOONERS (Classic 39) will be on Blu-ray on October 15th 2013

    My favorite TV show(along with BATMAN). I want to buy this set, but at this price, I hope there's a ton of extra material. The DVD's aren't really all that bad, except for a couple of episodes.

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I cannot wait for CITY LIGHTS.

    1966 Batman DVD Coming! See Post 649

    I loved TDKR(and thought it was a triumphant story for Batman) and the '66 series equally. But I do love what you just posted there, Richard. :)

    Wonderful post, and I couldn't agree more about how fantastic Newmar and company were in conveying the characters personalities right from the comic books.

    1966 Batman DVD Coming! See Post 649

    I hate to take this too off topic, but any problems with the Superman franchise from the 1978 film until SUPERMAN IV are the fault of the producers(in the case of I-3 the Salkinds, and IV the Cannon group). WB just acted as a distributor for those films and had very little, if any, creative control.

    1966 Batman DVD Coming! See Post 649

    Agreed 100%. I also have to say that I would be a lot more excited to buy some of the merchandise if I had a nice set of the series to put on my shelf. Without that,owning Batman and Robin bobble heads based on the likenesses from a TV show we can't even see in decent quality(and uncut) seems a...

    1966 Batman DVD Coming! See Post 649

    There was a poster with insider connections on a private forum on Facebook that has indicated that an announcement will be coming soon. Maybe it won't be at SDCC, but I think that we will be hearing something in the not too distant future.

    USHE Press Release: Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection (Blu-ray) includes Creature

    Great ideas for the next set! I think DRACULA'S DAUGHTER and SON OF FRANKENSTEIN are excellent movies(as good or better than some of the films included in the current set), and those would be my top choices for the next collection on Blu-ray.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Universal Monsters -- in Blu-ray

    Good to hear, Eric! I'm not quite so sensitive to those problems, so I hope I find myself enjoying this transfer. The old DVD looked like it wasn't from a true Technicolor print, so just the fact that Universal used a real Technicolor source for the Blu-ray is good news to me.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Universal Monsters -- in Blu-ray

    I'm sorry to see that there are problems with the PHANTOM transfer, as it's one of my personal favorites(if far from the best movie in this collection). I've seen other HD transfers of 3-strip Technicolor with registration problems(QUO VADIS comes to mind), but it was never enough to take me out...

    Demetrius and the Gladiators Blu-ray Review

    That brown look is how I've always seen DEMETRIUS, both on television broadcasts and a 16mm print I used to have. So the Blu-ray doesn't bother me at all; it's still the best I've ever seen it look, even if the color isn't technically correct.

    Is "The Time Machine" (1960) ever coming to Blu-ray?

    I would also love a Blu-ray. I watch this movie once a year around the Christmas holidays, and it's one of the best of its type.

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Frankenstein (1931) -- in Blu-ray

    To the best of my knowledge, this is all true. The funeral procession shot cut from FRANKENSTEIN is mentioned by Scott MacQueen on his BRIDE commentary for the DVD. And there are a few pieces still missing from the Maria sequence according to Greg Mank, who wrote superlative books about the...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Last Temptation of Christ -- in Blu-ray

    I rewatched parts of this BD last night. I also noticed some banding in the scene where Jesus meets Martha and Mary after his forty days in the wilderness. I wonder if this is something inherent to the original film, as I know it was shot on a limited budget? I still think most of it looks very...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Last Temptation of Christ -- in Blu-ray

    I did see the banding in the temptation in the desert sequence, and this is far from a perfect transfer. But I do think it's a big improvement over the DVD, and much of the time it looks gorgeous.

    I'm really looking forward to this one. My personal favorite Scorsese picture.

    Is "The Greatest Story Ever Told" BluRay a dissapointment?

    I'm pretty easy to please, but I have to agree that the transfer on this BD is one of the worst I've ever seen(judging by the scenes I've reviewed on my projector). It would be nice if a remaster would be done similiar to what happened with GLADIATOR and FIFTH ELEMENT, but since TGSET isn't a...
