Hoping someone here might remember this...
Back in the mid-1980s (somewhere between 1983 and 1986), I used to see a promo on PBS for a program (not sure if it was a movie or a miniseries) about a romance between two mismatched middle-aged people. The woman was a prim Maggie Smith type, and the...
Does anyone have any information on why we have yet to see a Blu-ray release of SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS? Are there rights issues or issues with the film elements? I thought it was odd that Warners released PENELOPE on Blu-ray but not SITG.
Just to be clear, I am not criticizing Warners for...
Now that One Day at a Time is airing on Antenna TV, I wonder if sufficient interest could be generated to convince someone (and by someone I mean Shout Factory) to release more season sets or, even better, a complete series set. (I might be wrong, but I think ODAAT is the only major Norman Lear...
I apologize if this thread is redundant, or if this question is answered somewhere else on the Forum, but there is so much information here and trying to sort through it only adds to my confusion. (Moderators, if the answer to my question can be found elsewhere on the Forum, please feel free to...
Want to pick up a copy of The Wasp Woman for someone, but not sure which of the many DVDs out there to buy. Does anyone know if one version is significantly better than the others, or if one is particularly bad? I know it's a public domain title, so I'm not expecting a Criterion-type release...
TVShowsonDVD.com posted the following: The Mothers-In-Law DVD news: DVDs Planned for Mothers-In-Law | TVShowsOnDVD.com I've been waiting for this release for years. This was my favorite show as a kid, so I cannot wait to see it again. And the promise of extras is especially exciting. Now...
Went to a screening of Ladybug Ladybug and decided that Frank Perry would be a good candidate for a Criterion Eclipse collection. He has made a number of interesting films (David & Lisa, The Swimmer, Diary of a Mad Housewife, Last Summer, Play It As It Lays, Man on a Swing), many of which have...
Has anyone purchased the "Absolutely Everything" box set? I'm wondering if some of the edits made for the previous releases have been carried over. Specifically, I'm curious to know if Edina's quoting of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" in the "Death" episode and the "Chicago the Musical" segment...
I saw the disclaimers on the first two season sets that material has been cut from the episodes of SABRINA. Does anyone know what cuts have been made and how extensive they are?
Am I imagining things, or was it announced that Paramount was going to release all of the California episodes of I LOVE LUCY in a separate collection? I have found no evidence of this anywhere, but I'm sure that I heard about this somewhere...
I was thinking that it might be interesting if Otto Preminger's films from the late 60s/early 70s were released on DVD. I don't know if they're all from the same studio (Paramount?), but they might make an interesting collection nonetheless.
Specifically, I'm thinking of:
HURRY SUNDOWN...
Anyone know if Universal is still planning to release the remaining seasons of Night Gallery on DVD? I remember reading that the second season was tentatively scheduled for late 2005, but obviously that hasn't happened. I hope Universal hasn't given up on it.
Okay, now just hear me out on this because I know that there are one or two people out there who will agree with me on this. ;) On the open-matte VHS version, in an early scene, Ed Harris wears only a towel. He walks into the living room, plops down in a chair, and the towel lifts up to give...
I noticed that there are several Russ Meyer films (including Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) now being offered on DVD. Has anyone seen them or heard anything about them? They're not cheap ($39.99!) so I'd really like to get the scoop on them before making an investment.
Pretty Poison, the cult classic starring Anthony Perkins and Tuesday Weld, is getting an R2 DVD release in September. Could this be a sign that a(n) R1 release is going to happen?
Maybe I'm imagining things, but I seem to remember reading an announcement that the Gidget series was being released this year. Anyone else remember this?
Noticed that Anchor Bay is no longer offering their DVD of William Castle's I Saw What You Did. Anyone know if there are any plans to rerelease it? I'm assuming that the rights reverted to the original holder.
All this time, I was under the impression that it was a Fox-Warners dispute, but according to last night's chat, it's a Fox-DC Comics dispute. Of course, DC is part of Time-Warner, but it did surprise me to learn that Warner Home Video is out of the loop on this.
Has anyone heard anything yet about the second and third seasons of Night Gallery? Universal has already released the second season of Columbo, and I'm worried that the lack of news about Night Gallery means that we won't be seeing the rest of the series.
March 23, 2006 will mark what would have been Joan Crawford's 100th birthday. I know it's over a year away, but has anyone heard any rumblings about a possible box set from Warners to celebrate this milestone? Although overshadowed today by "Mommie Dearest," Crawford is one of the...
Has Warners ever made any sort of announcement about the runners-up in their "DVD Decision" poll? IIRC, the remaining titles were supposed to be released later in the year, but I haven't heard anything since. I'm especially interested in seeing The Night of the Iguana released on DVD, and I'm...
TVShowsonDVD.com announced that the first season of Kojak is coming in March. I'm wondering if the set will include The Marcus-Nelson Murders, the acclaimed made-for-TV movie that introduced Kojak to television audiences. Universal has included pilot films on other sets (Night Gallery and...
I was watching part one of "The Feminum Mystique" (great title!) and found that the picture froze at chapter six and would not play. Anyone else have this problem, or am I in possession of a random flawed disc?
Anyone know if Warners is planning a Special Edition for this movie? I know that it is already available on DVD, but considering that it is the only on-screen pairing of two Hollywood legends (and what legends!), it's a great choice for the deluxe treatment. Perhaps they could include a...
Anyone know anything about the status of DESIGNING WOMEN on DVD? I would definitely buy season sets, but so far, there has been only a "Best of" disc, which I didn't pick up because I was disappointed in the selection of episodes. Of course, I probably should get it, if only to show CTHE that...
I'm sure that someone out there can explain this to me... When I watch a letterboxed DVD, the right side of the frame gets cut off. I noticed this on my copy of Criterion's 3 WOMEN. I thought perhaps it was a poor transfer, but when I played it on my computer, I saw the entire image. I...
