    Cocktail Hour (1933) coming from Sony - 3/19/24

    Unfortunately, those are Region B locked sets, I believe.

    International Pre-Order Columbia Noir #6: The Whistler (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    It's frustrating this release of U.S. made films is Region B locked.

    Cocktail Hour (1933) coming from Sony - 3/19/24

    Sony's pressed MOD line seems to operate with no rhyme or regular schedule but everyone once in a while, they'll release something really unexpected and appreciated, like this and 1937's Murder in Greenwich Village a couple years ago. Those titles you mentioned would be welcomed too. Unless...

    Cocktail Hour (1933) coming from Sony - 3/19/24

    According to Dawn of the Discs, Sony is releasing COCKTAIL HOUR (1933) on Blu-ray on March 19. An Amazon product page is up but pre-orders aren't being taken yet. I don't believe this Bebe Daniels/Randolph Scott film has ever been released on any home video format, so that alone makes the...

    Pre-Order The Three Stooges - Stooge-O-Rama: The Men Behind The Mayhem And Even More Mayhem! (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    One of the producers of the set said no subtitles in a Facebook comment, unfortunately.

    Pre-Order The Three Stooges - Stooge-O-Rama: The Men Behind The Mayhem And Even More Mayhem! (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I think the KOOKS TOUR outtakes on this set were in the Nate Sanders auction of Moe's estate a few years ago. A lot of the archival audio in this set was in the same auction. https://natedsanders.com/Twenty_Four_16mm_Film_Reels_With_Behind_the_Scene_-LOT53685.aspx That lot mentions a KOOKS...

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    While getting the film on 4K should feel like a win, it feels like Warner dropped the ball on this release. It may be the last one this film gets on home video and should have been the definitive release of the film. The glaring omissions are the two previous adaptations of the film, both...

    Pre-Order The Three Stooges - Stooge-O-Rama: The Men Behind The Mayhem And Even More Mayhem! (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Someone from Sony told me 6 years ago: "This has come up various times, and its fallen off the schedule. We will probably be looking at it again, soon, as the Masters of most of these shorts look fantastic, and would hold up nicely on BD." And here are, 6 years later, and still zero signs of...

    Pre-Order The Three Stooges - Stooge-O-Rama: The Men Behind The Mayhem And Even More Mayhem! (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Especially since the Stooge shorts would probably sell better than the features they've been added as bonuses to.

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    Really surprised to see King Kong back in print as a WAC title - I was thinking Criterion had it and would do a big 90th anniversary release in 2023 (maybe even as a 4K).

    Would either of these soundbars be an upgrade over my Bose?

    I have the Bose Solo 5 soundbar but looking for something better. The Bose is better than the built-in TV speakers but isn't all the impressive. I don't need anything high-end but something a notch or two better than the Bose would be nice to have. I'm looking at the Samsung HW-Q60T/ZA which...

    The cardboard sleeves totally ruin it for me... thanks but no thanks.

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Classics Ultra 4K HD Collection Volume 2

    This is so disappointing. It's so long overdue for the Three Stooges to get their own Blu-Ray boxset. The DVDs were great for their time but that was 10-15 years ago now. It's very irritating to see Sony relegate these shorts as extras or bonuses. Six Stooge shorts are extras on a Noir set...

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    The Fire Stick should play Dolby Vision but I doubt I've watched anything on it that takes advantage.

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    HDMI cable from the back of the player into the back of the TV. Soundbar connected via TV's optical audio output.

    Warner Bros. To *Not* Exit Physical Media Production

    "For now." The writing seems to be on the wall. And if it does stick around in the long run (I'm doubtful), maybe titles aren't released on disc format anymore. That would be a real shame to me.

    Warner Bros. To *Not* Exit Physical Media Production

    It does seem like they were a lot of big hauls from the last 4/44 sale, but I'm imagining there would have been even more of those had this news come out before then. I know I would have ordered a few more things during that sale had I known this, then. My concern now is these WA titles slowly...

    Warner Bros. To *Not* Exit Physical Media Production

    Is anyone else seeing this news as a reason to stock up on Warner Archive releases while they're still available? Seems like anything is possible with their future availability now.

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    I haven't had issue playing 4K content on the Fire stick. Since I've already tried different cables and resetting to the factory defaults, would people here recommend replacing the player before the TV?

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    These are my HDMI cables for the player: As far as long as I’ve had things, the player since last June, the TV for 15 months and the cables since last summer. From what I remember, the player was fine initially. To me, it’s a 50-50 bet if it’s the TV or the player but would really like to...

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    I have a Fire stick in another HDMI port on the back of the TV. I don’t use that a ton but haven’t noticed issues with it.

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    Thanks. I don't know that I've ruled out the TV - I did try multiple HDMI ports on the back of the TV and multiple cables, but how can I know the issue isn't the HDMI connections on the TV's end?

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    Yes. When the pictures flashes to black, it's just a black screen. No video or audio. It lasts for a few seconds before resuming normal playback. I should also note I have a Bose Solo 5 soundbar, also only 15 months old.

    TV randomly flashes black during disc playback - any theories?

    My TV randomly flashes black during the playback of a disc. I'll be watching a movie, the screen will go black for a few seconds, before going back to the movie. It's very irritating. It has happened on multiple new discs so I don't think it's the discs. I've tried a different HDMI cable, as...

    Thanks - that sounds like a lot of fun, and it's about 10 minutes longer than the Fay Wray mini-doc that was with MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM.

    Warner Archive Press Release: Kentucky Kernels (1934) (Blu-ray)

    It was great to see some Wheeler & Woolsey on Blu-ray but unfortunately, Kentucky Kernels is not one of their best movies in my estimation. It rates as just okay for me, a passable time killer. For any newcomer to the duo, I'd suggest Peach O'Reno, Diplomaniacs, Hips, Hips Hooray, and Hold Em...
