In addition to the Tweet, there was yet another premature post from Akijama aka Noach from the other forum. Chances are it will come out on UHD at some point, but there wont be anything official for a bit I'd guess. Lots of his posts are so premature and attention seeking, that I think he was a...
Some Like It Hot from Criterion will not include the Tony Curtis commentary apparently so if youre in commentaries you might have to hold on to the MGM Blu ray
Im almost certain whenever Criterion releases Notorious it will not have the extras on the MGM blu ray either. so if owning two copies...
Well the good news is Criterion will send me a replacement and also told me to look at the back of each disc for the letters BVDL. If its there, my blu rays are good, if not, they might not. You need to hold the disc in the light and also use a magnifying glass.
Also from Jon in his email ...
I know that, but my post is to inform other owners of the disc of what happened and to check their discs as well. Just because it was "NOT" part of the batch doesnt mean that there arent any faulty discs of the Lady Vanishes out there. I already contacted JM..
Anytime I read about faulty discs...
Anyone that owns The Lady Vanishes - I would urge anyone that does to revisit it. Mine froze around the 1:22 minute mark on my UHD player and wouldn't even play at all on my Blu-ray player.
Hopefully your copies still play but I cant begin to mention how spending around 30.00 for a blu ray to...
Im still going to get Cat People to see it in HD, I will still keep the DVD Box set until more titles of interest get HD releases. There are at least 7 Lewton titles Id get
I Walk With A Zombie
Body Snatcher
Isle of the Dead
Ghost Ship
Leopard Man
The 7th Victim
If most do get HD releases maybe...
Since its was already announced, maybe that could be for another movie, like The Queen of Hearts ?
Okay okay I doubt it is for that movie .. but that movie grew on me when Id watch it with Dead of Night from the old Anchor Bay DVD :)
I think The Kid and the Graduate are titles Ill check out. Im not familiar with any of them since Im a horror - sci fi , schlock lol guy, but I do like other genres, and these sound appealing to my taste
My *C* upgrade wishlist is still
Carnival of Souls
Equinox
Devil and Daniel Webster
Fiend without A Face
Young Mr Lincoln
Although I wish some labels would keep searching for some suitable elements for some great PD titles..
Flicker Alley has Too Late for Tears and Woman on the Run...
I really hope for an HD upgrade for any one of these
Fiend Without A Face, Equinox, The Devil and Daniel Webster or Carnival of Souls
If I get none, its okay, and I dont mind waiting for their announcements since I dont have any high hopes going in , but I am curious to see what the titles...
Only It Happened One Night for me, but I will watch L'Avventura to see if I want that one. Now I want the other Capra films in the box set so I can retire it :) Too many great films in that set !
