    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I thought of Truth Or Consequences, NM, but that doesn't quite seem Criterion-worthy...

    Your new BD titles requests from Twilight Time

    I'm with Reggie W. regarding "The Last Detail". Add to the wish list another Hal Ashby film: "Shampoo" (1975).

    Sony Archive MOD

    As will I. No complaints from me about Amazon or their service.

    Sony Archive MOD

    I received the Sony MOD dvd of "Drive-In" this past week from Amazon. I'd love to report about the quality of the transfer and whatnot, but what was burned onto the disc was not "Drive-In" but something called "A Close Call for Boston Blackie" from 1946. I've since returned it to Amazon and...

    Midnight Cowboy and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

    That's a shame about Midnight Cowboy's transfer. I watched it recently on an HBO HD channel and that transfer was virtually flawless. I wish now I'd kept it instead of deleting it after finding out about the impending BD release.

    "Marverick " and "Wild Wild West" coming to Best Buy next week?

    And according to The Digital Bits, "Midnight Cowboy" and--finally!!--the original "Taking of Pelham One Two Three" will hit Best Buy exclusively starting tomorrow (May 29), $14.99. Didn't see those coming...

    Obscure films you would like to see on Blu-Ray

    "Bound For Glory". Watched this recently on some HD channel, and thought this would look fantastic on Blu. With every other 1976 Best Picture winner or nominee getting new Blu treatments this year ("Network", "All the President's Men", "Taxi Driver", and--I think--"Rocky"), this one's long...

    The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3, anamorphic?

    Well, there is that Canadian DVD to be released on June 9 mentioned several posts ago that may or may not be anamorphic; it would be great to find out if it is.

    The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3, anamorphic?

    Saw this interesting link on the original "Pelham's" IMDB site: Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3, The Repackaged DVD: Martin Balsam, Hector Elizondo, Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw Anyone know anything about this DVD re-release, especially whether or not it's anamorphic? Amazon.com doesn't list it on...

    Paramount Press Release: Star Trek TOS Season One (Blu-ray)

    Thanks for the heads-up on the new Amazon price. I had it pre-ordered for $72.99, but cancelled that order and placed a new one at the new price.

    Borders 40% OFF Til Saturday Only.

    Just a heads-up: there are at least two Borders stores in the Atlanta area I checked out yesterday who have already completely pulled their remaining stock of clearance DVD's, BD's, and CD's. Other stores in other markets may be doing the same thing, so call ahead to your local Borders before...

    Amazon Gold Box 1/22: WIRE: Complete Series $81.99

    Ron, You may want to wait just a few more months for "John Adams" to come out on Blu-Ray; at least according to The Digital Bits' Rumor Mill: The Digital Bits Rumor Mill - Current Posts

    "The Sopranos" complete series box--buy or wait?

    Thanks, guys. I ended up breaking down and buying it. The price was just too good to pass up, especially since I already had the cash and gift card to get it at that price. And would owning it on Blu be worth the extra $200-300 it will probably cost? Probably not; especially with what TommyJD...

    "The Sopranos" complete series box--buy or wait?

    I have recently updated to Blu Ray, getting the Sony S350 shortly before Christmas. I have since found myself, like many others who have made the jump to Blu, rethinking future disc purchases (and already upgrading a few SD titles). Which brings me to the "Sopranos" complete series box. I've...

    Borders 30% off 1 item through 9/8...and beyond?

    Has Borders recently stopped sending their discount coupons in their weekly Borders Rewards e-mailings? I haven't had one in mine in about three weeks. Also, has anyone come across a Borders coupon for this Labor Day weekend?

    Free poster offer inside the BONNIE AND CLYDE UE: where is it?

    Apparently, then, mine simply didn't come with the offer. I looked behind the press book and everywhere else, and no go....so I guess it's back to Sam's for an exchange. Thanks for the info, guys!

    Free poster offer inside the BONNIE AND CLYDE UE: where is it?

    Yes; it clearly states on the back of the box that there's a "mail-in offer for a free poster"...except that in the case of the boxed set I picked up at Sam's Club, it doesn't seem to be in there.

    Free poster offer inside the BONNIE AND CLYDE UE: where is it?

    Just picked up the new UE of "Bonnie and Clyde" at Sam's today and searched high and low for the free poster offer form, but couldn't find it. Can anyone tell me where they found theirs?

    Is the new "Fabulous Baker Boys" DVD anamorphic?

    That's actually very strange, because when the review was first posted and I think even as late as this morning, the reviewer did specify that the transfer was indeed anamorphic, and I was just about ready to pick up a copy. Now, however, the "anamorphic" reference in the review has been...

    Is the new "Fabulous Baker Boys" DVD anamorphic?

    That would be a shame if true. This movie deserves far better treatment. Doing a more extensive search online, I came up with this site that lists all of the previous DVD releases of FBB (except the new MGM release): http://fabulousbakers.tripod.com/ab/.../DVDspecs.html According to this...

    Is the new "Fabulous Baker Boys" DVD anamorphic?

    I've been eyeing the new MGM DVD of "The Fabulous Baker Boys", but on the back is simply says it's "Widescreen 1.85", with no mention of being anamorphic or "16x9 Enhanced". Can anyone tell me whether or not it is anamorphic before I buy it? I've searched other threads on this forum but couldn't...

    Astaire and Rogers: The Complete Film Collection

    The proof-of-purchase tab can be found on the paper blurb that's loosely stuck onto the back of the box, describing the box's contents. At least that's what I used.

    Astaire and Rogers: The Complete Film Collection

    More kudos to Warner Bros. for what may end up being the DVD box set of the year. And an offer inside the box to get not just one but FOUR free Astaire-Rogers reproduction movie posters?? Outstanding.

    California Split on Nov. 2?

    I wonder if this is a sign of a future--and better--DVD re-release: http://www.moviecentre.net/upcomingm...e_id_1799.htm# It's playing, or has played, at the Film Forum in NYC with a new, uncut print. Fingers crossed for a DVD re-release in the near future....

    Which MGM/UA titles should Sony re-issue with a new transfer?

    An anamorphic release of "The Taking of Pelham 1,2.3". And another vote for an anamorphic release of "The Miracle Worker".

    Chinatown SE?

    And, I assume, the exact same washed-out transfer? :frowning:

    Brokeback Mountain 4/4 (see post #94)

    Very smart move on Universal's part to move it back a month to capitalize on the Oscars it will no doubt accumulate.
