    I'm looking at all the complaints over Criterion and WAC with their latest announcements, thinking about how I literally cannot buy and watch the releases I want fast enough compared to what's coming out. I'm already behind by 15 releases and probably that much already on my shelf. The Devil...

    Who exactly is the audience for these box sets? Some of those Blu-rays are old enough for a driver's license. I'd buy those lapel pins if they were available on their own.

    IIRC, the Preminger Estate titles include The Man with the Golden Arm, The Moon is Blue, Advise and Consent, The Cardinal, and Saint Joan.

    Just looking at the past few years of WAC releases of MGM Technicolor, nearly all of them are from 4K scans of the camera negatives: The Yearling, The Pirate, The Naked Spur, National Velvet, Ivanhoe, Show Boat '51, Good News, The Harvey Girls, and Million Dollar Mermaid to name a few. Only one...

    Though, much like Kino Lorber, the regular online price is quite reasonable. All of Warner's 2020 releases were purchased through Amazon, though I did order a bunch of older releases in the last sale. No way I was going to wait on Tex Avery or Mystery of the Wax Museum.

    I think there's around 60-65 MGM cartoons, which would divide out neatly to 3-4 single-disc volumes. This is exciting news. While I know the existing materials aren't the same caliber as what's available for the Looney Tunes or even Popeye, I expect them to pull another rabbit out of a hat. Or...

    I know we still have the December slate to be revealed, but this has been a great year so far. 14 pre-60s films plus two volumes of 40s Popeyes, and four 50s films back in print. Three of those 14 from the 30s (Footlight Parade, The Thin Man, and Jezebel) and all A-list.

    The Bad and the Beautiful is in the same league as either of those! I did read on another board there’s one particular early-30s film in the works that I don’t think anyone here would have imagined ever getting a remastered DVD, let alone a Blu-Ray.

    As part of my annual horror/scifi viewings in October, I've had a chance to finally check out a few WAC discs... Innocent Blood - Had never seen this before, despite being a fan of a lot of John Landis films. Robert Loggia is amazing (and hilarious) in this. It's not only a funny movie, but it...

    I'd advise listening to the Warner Archive podcast since they do a great job of hyping up titles, not to mention explain why stuff comes out when it does. Their remastering is funded by the profits made from their releases, so it makes sense why they release a lot of genre films that are popular...

    Good timing for the 4/$44 sale. Ended up picking up the Blus for The Sea Wolf, The Sea Hawk, Innocent Blood, Cabaret, and The Thing from Another World; plus the DVDs of Lights of New York, Show People, Why Be Good?, Gold Raiders/Meet the Baron, and The Lost Squadron.
