    Alas, the three that I had hoped for from that deal, Julia Roberts/Nick Nolte in I Love Trouble, Gwyneth Paltrow's Emma and Bette Midler/Shelley Long, Outrageous Fortune, were not among the offerings. Thank God we were given Long in Hello Again - not a great film, but a charming 'feel good' for...

    Wondering if this will be a new remaster. I have the region free Blu from Indicator and the transfer leaves much to be desired. Just checking.

    For a while there Kino's alliance with Touchstone yielded some good catalog that I sincerely hoped would lead to more. After getting Shelley Long in Hello Again, I thought for sure Outrageous Fortune would follow. It didn't. Also would kill for a pristine copy of Gwyneth Paltrow's Emma and Down...

    I might have missed this, but is there any update on Kino's plans to release Blue Skies with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire? As I remember, it was announced without a definite date, but I don't seem to be able to find any further information on its pending release. By the way, thoroughly enjoying...

    Not entirely sure I get why this is getting re-issued with no new announcement for a video upgrade, which is badly needed. The old Blu wasn't impressive and double-dipping for a new audio commentary isn't enough. Regrets.

    I would hope that Kino would eventually give Deanna Durbin one final spin, given the way their gearing up to market a ton of Mae West to Blu all at once. I think parceling off Durbin in just 3 assorted titles left something to be desired, in the same way Shout! tried to parcel off the Val Lewton...

    I know I'm going to kick myself for this one, but did Kino actually nail down a date for their pending disc of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Just asking. And wondering.

    Well, it hasn't been 'cost prohibitive' in the foreign markets. The first six seasons of Murder She Wrote, as example have sold so well for Elephant Films in France, they are already in the process of licensing the remaining seasons from Uni. Moot point. Mill Creek did complete shows of Quantum...

    Just wondering if Kino would have any desire to get into some of Uni's TV holdings. Murder She Wrote, as example is available in France, The Incredible Hulk, Magnum P.I. and Columbo in Japan and the U.K. Can't we get a state's side distributor to give us a region A copy of any of these shows? I...

    I was sort of hoping that after the release of Hello Again, and, The Doctor, we'd be seeing Outrageous Fortune, While You Were Sleeping, Six Weeks, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, and other, as yet unreleased Disney/Touchstone stuff coming down the pike.

    The Secret of My Success has been available in Germany in an English region free version for some years now. Have it already on Blu and just watched tonight. I suspect Kino will get the same transfer, which sports slight image instability and a light speckling of age-related dirt and dust...

    Yes, I meant six. My bad. Great flick, and a pretty solid digital only transfer streaming on Amazon currently.

    Knowing that Mr. Lime cannot comment on specific titles, I just wanted to say a big thank you first for bringing Hello Again to Blu-ray, and to encourage Kino to go after more Touchstone, Caravan, Hollywood Pictures and Miramax product. Can we just get a solid Blu-ray of the 1996 version of...

    Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kino for Death on the Nile and Cry Freedom - two movies I have been absolutely craving for decades. Have the old UK disc from StudioCanal that was labeled as region B but is actually region free. When they remastered all of the AC's in Europe, they were...

    I know you can't comment on specific titles. Will just say that if either Flower Drum Song or Thoroughly Modern Millie was a part of this deal, I'd being doing my happy dance right about now. Not expecting miracles though.

    Wondering if Kino would consider releasing The Carpetbaggers from Paramount? By the way, impressive slate of up and coming catalog. It's going to be a go-for-broke October and November. Best.

    Apologies if this one's been asked before, but given the incredible job you did on bringing Sweet Charity to home video (and, by the way, many - MANY - thanks for that) is there any chance of you giving Thoroughly Modern Millie the same care and treatment on Blu. Or Flower Drum Song for that...

    The Stand was also shot SD and is coming to Blu. True, it won't be 1080p in its truest resolution. Neither was Fraggle Rock. Didn't stop that deep catalog release from coming out in hi-def either. Just a question. Hoping someone at Kino has the answer. Okay, true confession. I never...

    Storm of the Century - why only on DVD. Seems like a step backward. Also, any chances of Outrageous Fortune with Bette Midler and Shelley Long, or I Love Trouble with Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte? Love that you're finally tapping into the Touchstone catalog with Hello Again, which looked...

    Any chance Kino can get their hands on Thoroughly Modern Millie, Midnight, The Major and the Minor, or any of the Abbott and Costello movies from Uni? Also, Francis the Talking Mule and Ma and Ma Kettle?

    I would really like to see Kino get their hands on the movie, Six Weeks, costarring Dudley Moore and Mary Tyler Moore. It's a tear-jerker, Christmas-themed and I remember it fondly. It has an HD transfer currently streaming on Amazon that looks pretty fine, so a Blu could likely be struck from...

    I wish Kino Lorber would get their hands on Gwenyth Paltrow's version of Jane Austen's Emma; also, Andy Tennant's Anna and the King - 2 period costume dramas screaming for a hi-def release.

    Nothing beat the abysmal quality of TT's Titus and Demetrius and the Gladiators. Kino is ramping up its game and its good to see. Can't wait for Sweet Charity and The Champagne Murders - among too many others to list.

    Uh...this was already out via Twilight Time and in a sparkling transfer. Less than sparkling movie, IMO.
