Am I correct in thinking that the titles in the Film Noir sets don't get individual releases?

Speak for yourself.

After about two decades, Friedkin returned to form and there's a pair of great performances from Judd and Shannon in this movie too.

Absolutely fantastic and underrated movie. Looking forward to picking this up!

I know I saw both Tarantula and Ants on a local TV station in the 80's and I remember loving them. Presumably, it was part of a movie package for the smaller (cheaper) stations. I think I saw SST Death Flight in there too.

Wow!

I could be wrong but I took Kino to have mentioned the color correction specifically in regards to the Criterion disc. Like I said, I could be totally wrong about that though.

At the risk of sounding like the old guy, I really hate that those kinds of AIP/Corman/drive-in/grindhouse movies of the 70's morphed into direct-to-video and now direct-to-streaming movies. It just ain't the same anymore.

AIP? I didn't think they made movies like this. :)

John Waters in 4K!

Different Chris Wallace.

That's a pleasant surprise!

Should I be worried that I'm happier to see Rondo than Gale?

I really have to hand it to Kino for creating features even on smaller movies. I was impressed that the movie was coming at all and there's a commentary and a short making-of on a movie that didn't even get a DVD release- that's incredible!

Oh, baby. Keep putting out them Universal horror pictures.

I'm from Pennsylvania, all of California is L.A. to my dumb country ass. :laugh:

The reason I could see giving it to The French Connection is because it was one of the first big car chases in a movie and helped set the trend.

Friedkin might not outdo the car chase in The French Connection but he comes close with the freeway chase in this movie because it's a thrilling sequence. Plus, you can't go wrong with a movie that has both William Petersen and Willem Dafoe.

WOW! I'm so happy (and impressed) that you guys got David Chase for an interview. I know very little about these episodes so I'm really looking forward to the commentaries which have a very nice lineup too. This should be a really great release.

I'm hoping for some more of those obscure semi-horror titles from the 30's and 40's and I like that there's almost 50 chances for them.

I don't know if I've seen it listed in this thread but on Twitter, screenwriter Larry Karaszewski said that he, co-writer Scott Alexander, and historian Howard Berger have recorded a commentary for the disc.

Yeah, it's a pretty good movie. Speaking of Tom Weaver's book, I'm now hoping that someone releases all the movies featured in Universal Horrors. I think there's only a little more than a dozen from that book that haven't come out on Blu-ray yet... although I imagine that most of the remaining...

Wow! Another reasonably obscure Universal semi-horror movie. Way to go, Kino!

Wow, a Universal semi-horror picture that never had a DVD release. And best of all... Rondo!

There was so much great stuff in 1999 that I think Man On The Moon got kind of overlooked.

I doubt I'm telling you something you don't know but back in Fangoria #3 (from late 1979), they had an article and episode guide on Kolchak. Thanks to The Sopranos, the most interesting aspect of the article is that they have a few quotes about working on the series from story editor David...

This is one of those "I don't care if it's in a paper bag" releases but I love Phillips and it would create a nice symmetry with the two TV movies if he does this one.

Not to speak for Gary but he's a film/TV historian and he wrote Pumpkinhead. You can hear him on commentaries for The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. I still remember reading a copy of his book Fantastic Television that was in my middle school's library. It was probably the first time that I...

Yeah, I kept getting told I was wrong for saying it would be Kolchak when it was the only reasonable choice for them to release. :laugh:

It's just The Spider Woman Strikes Back. :) It's a 1946 B-movie from Universal starring the usual Universal suspects of the era like Gale Sondergaard, Milburn Stone, and Rondo Hatton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spider_Woman_Strikes_Back
