Well, it's getting worse. Now we have "sensitivity readers" bowdlerizing Roald Dahl, Agatha Christie, Ian Fleming and more so "modern sensitivities" aren't offended. In other words, no trigger warnings because the original books have been turned into pablum for the babies of all ages.

I've always wondered how they can be "eco-friendly" when everyone replaces them with standard cases — and the "eco-friendly" case results in more plastic in the landfill!

While all the cartoon and Western TV releases are great, I hope Archive doesn't forget those of us still waiting on some major WB films. In my case, Angels in the Outfield (the original B&W) Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969 musical) The Late Show The Sea Wolves

At that time Tiomkin was a name the public knew positively, so his name would sell some tickets. Elmer Bernstein was the same in the 1960s and 1970s. His name was big on the posters and ads.

What would I love to see in blu from Warner Archive, "first day at whatever price"? Well, it's a short list: Angels in the Outfield (the original with Janet Leigh, Paul Douglas and James Whitmore) Arsenic and Old Lace The Late Show (with scene from the theatrical release but cut from the DVD...

If it's a picture I want, I get it first day of release (so they'll make money on it), but I'm not going to buy films that will only gather dust on the shelf. Sorry, not rich enough to do that.

A Guy Named Joe is still on DVD, or you can get Spielberg's remake Always on blu.

I don't miss the late 1970s Times Square, though I DO miss the Times Square of the years previous. I also miss the Times Square of the years during the cleanup, when it became safe to walk on the streets again. I won't miss the current Disneyfied version when the next era happens. OK, maybe I...

And after that comes "Yet Another Thin Man"?

I wouldn't think Father's Day makes any difference. It doesn't to me (and I'm a dad). I ignore it because I consider it just a Hallmark holiday like Boss' Day, Secretary's Day, Grandparents' Day, etc., etc., and so forth.

Not me, although that slate is not anything that I'd buy. Other folks have different likes, and I assume WAC research says these titles will be profitable. I would like to see the two musical running mates, Pajama Game and Damn Yankees, plus Angels in the Outfield (the original), Arsenic and Old...

I'd buy in a minute I Was a Male War Bride, where she paired off with Cary Grant.

What would I like from Warner on blu? Just these high-profile films: Angels in the Outfield (1951) Arsenic and Old Lace Damn Yankees The Late Show Mister Roberts The Pajama Game The Thing (From Another World) -- Unlikely because of elements issues, but still ...

Not I. I saw it in original release on a big screen, and found it to be a crashing, if beautifully photographed, bore. But I hope you finally get it, as it's apparently a favorite for you.

True to the extent that your local phone company maintains the lines properly. The Verizons of the world want to dump lines and put everyone on wireless, so they don't maintain the lines at all. Every time it rains, both of my land lines go out. We don't have cable. Believe me, if we did I'd go...

If we're going to have The Pajama Game, why not its running mate, Damn Yankees?
