    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ -The Godfather(s) 50th Anniversary Restoration -- in 4k UHD

    It seems like there are missing subtitles in the theatrical cut of Part III. They’re present on the 1991 cut on the same disc. The long radio broadcast explaining the pope’s illness and the scene where Tomassino encounters Mosca on the road. In the Tomassino scene the subs are present for the...

    Could the original, unaltered STAR WARS be on its way to Blu-ray?

    The reason the action figure line was behind was because Mego was the #1 game in town when it came to licensed action figures from movies, television and comics at the time and they passed on it. Had they picked if up there would have been a much better initial showing. Fox settled for Kenner...

    Warning: Disappearing replicated(pressed) discs at WB Archive

    This is incorrect. As I said in the post right before yours: I ordered the exclusive cover from Warner Archive and got burned discs.I don't doubt that the rep told you what you're saying but they were wrong. If you buy the exclusive cover version you will get burned disc in a case with the...

    Warning: Disappearing replicated(pressed) discs at WB Archive

    I ordered Shazam about a month ago, it wasn't listed on the replicated page but I figured if I got the exclusive cover I'd probably be safe. Got my discs, they're burned. So the listing is probably an error and removing them from the list in the first place was probably correct.Of course, they...

    1966 Batman DVD Coming! See Post 649

    Sure it will... when it slips into the public domain. Before then there's no guarantee that the people who control the show will come to terms. No guarantee whatsoever.The DVD format is entering its 17th year and this is the most in-demand show not available. All wild speculation aside there is...

    The Three Stooges Ultimate Collection, March 27

    I sent him a PM and was ready to pay immediately. Thems the breaks I guess.

    The Three Stooges Ultimate Collection, March 27

    Just in case anyone was wondering I took him up on this and offered an extra $5 for the box and I received them from Mr. Satch today. I figured I'd save him from a barrage of PMs by letting everyone know.

    MPI Press Release: Dark Shadows The Complete Original Series

    You won't see it on the site because it's for the limited edition and they don't have any price posted because its no longer for sale. Everyone who ordered it should have already been notified via email. So yeah, I got it for $389.99 shipped and I got it yesterday. You could say I really paid...

    MPI Press Release: Dark Shadows The Complete Original Series

    Amazon dropped the price to $389.99. Everyone will automatically get a refund for the price difference. I'm getting $24 back

    MPI Press Release: Dark Shadows The Complete Original Series

    "Shipping soon" from Amazon. That means my copy has been pulled at the warehouse and that my card has been charged. Always a big relief on limited edition items where Amazon is rumored to be selling more than their allocation (which never really seems to be the case)

    Lionsgate MOD Coming

    Sony just released "Neighbors" as a MOD title so hopefully Lionsgate will release "Old Boyfriends" as it's now the only John Belushi film unavailable on DVD. As far as I can tell its a Studiocanal title so it should be eligible for Lionsgate's MOD program.

    The Complete Larry Sanders Show - Finally! Fall 2010

    My copy shipped from Amazon.com yesterday. I almost can't believe that this release finally became a reality.

    Saturday Night Live season 6. Will it be released?

    E! was a bad choice for the reruns. They were very reluctant to show anything pre-Ferrell. Hell, they were reluctant to show anything pre-Fallon.   I don't see VH1 altogether ignoring the show's history (especially considering all their nostalgia-based programming) but at the same time I...

    APOCALYPSE NOW Blu-ray: Oct. 19, 2010 (2 versions)

    When "Redux" was announced Coppola said he re-edited the whole thing from scratch and as such there was the possibility of using different takes, angles etc.   For what it's worth, I have NEVER seen anyone point out an example of this occurring, and it's been available for 9 years. People...

    Sony Archive MOD

    I'd like to see "Neighbors" with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd come out as part of this program. I'm pretty sure this is the only shot this movie has for being released.

    The Wire on Bluray... Will it ever appear?

      I don't know what's worse about this statement, the ignorance or the arrogance.   I absolutely love the HD-era hypocrisy. A few years ago if someone had posted a similar preference for a pan-and-scan presentation of a widescreen film they would have been crucified. Back then it was...

    The Complete Larry Sanders Show - Finally! Fall 2010

    It's $98.49 right now on Amazon.com.   This is one of my most-anticipated DVD releases of all time. Just over 6 weeks to go!

    Saturday Night Live season 6. Will it be released?

    Last year Season 5 was announced on August 25 for a December 1 release.   Considering that it's pretty certain that we aren't getting an SNL season this year.   Assuming a standard announcement-to-release timeframe (admittedly, there is none, though these timeframes don't vary too much)...

    If reports that Paramount isn't relasing any catalog titles on Blu-ray are true, are they licensing

    I'm fairly certain that LucasFilm dictates when the "Indiana Jones" movies are released and Paramount will oblige them whenever they're ready. They have similar control over "Star Wars", Fox manufactures and distributes but everything else is done in-house by LucasFilm, including pulling the...

    What you you think will happen next with the Saturday Night Live season sets?

    Last year Season 5 was announced in late August. August 25th, to be exact. We should know what Universal has planned within the next 5 or 6 weeks. I personally wouldn't count on ANY future season sets. I don't even think skipping to more popular seasons is a given. The first 5 are...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Darkman

    Bruce Campbell talks about it in his book. I haven't read it in about 5 years but the one specific detail I remember him mentioning is a scene in which Colin Friels writhes around on a bed covered in gold coins shortly after consoling the Frances McDormand character. Per Campbell the scene was...

    Bottle Rocket: Criterion Collection

    I should probably bump the "Darjeeling Limited" thread but the immature brat in me has a serious case of the "I told you so's" so I'm just gonna leave this here: www.amazon.com/The-Darjeeling-Express-Criterion-Collection/dp/B003KGBIRU/ref=sr_1_4...

    2010 at the Box Office

    Yeah, I wasn't the one who was going on and on about "The Mummy" in '08. I think TDK would have been lucky to hit #3 in '08 after Iron Man and Indy without all the tabloid madness over Ledger's death but even before he died I never would have put it behind "The Mummy".

    2010 at the Box Office

    I hate to say "I told you so" but I was called a fool in the '08 thread for suggesting that another movie could surpass the $500 million mark within 2 years of TDK's release. I was also personally attacked when I pointed out that both "The Phantom Menace" and "Titanic" were still playing in...

    Saturday Night Live-Season 5...Any News?

    I haven't got that far yet but there's a sketch where Harry Shearer plays a DJ and it has the actual "Stairway to Heaven" audio so I see no reason why they'd edit it later in the season when they were able to clear the original recording. I was pretty surprised to hear it on there.

    Saturday Night Live-Season 5...Any News?

    I may have been the only person freaking out over this but I think I found confirmation that the larger packaging will be maintained through season 5. From the Wal-Mart product page: "Limited Edition Outer Box Packaging While Supplies Last" If you Google that phrase it doesn't show up...

    Saturday Night Live-Season 5...Any News?

    I don't think the last season had different SKU's (I could be wrong) but Target has always had the bigger cases. I think the smaller ones are made to be compatible with restrictive shelving like Wal-Mart has with their spring-loading merchandisers that only fit cases with basic DVD dimensions...

    I got all 3 of the box sets today plus the Robert Plant box and Amazon.com definitely made good on those prices. $13.97 each.

    Saturday Night Live-Season 5...Any News?

    So will this have any extras? I waited and waited for more details to be released and with this release only 1 month away I'm becoming convinced that there are no more details because there won't be any extras. One no-brainer extra that could have been included was the Bill Murray screen test...
