I ordered the Blu-ray Dec 25. I received a confirmation email but no delivery date, does anyone know how long it's taking to get recent orders out?
P.S. it's good to hear all the positive comments here about the restoration!

Mid March? Have you contacted Ignite yet? I ordered mint in March of last year, and just got then delivered to me in the last part of Dec. Fingers crossed for you, it is a wonderful addition to any ones collection!!!

I was tardy ordering and put it through in early August; no notification of shipment as yet.

I ordered May 6 and received an email January 4 that the label was created, no shipment yet. So, that's eight months.

Mr. MacQueen is presenting the film twice in New York, next week. First at MOMA, I believe on Saturday, and then Sunday at the Bedford Playhouse.

Both with a master's class and Q & A.

 

[MarkA]

I got my shipping notice today and I just ordered it a couple of weeks ago!

Thanks for the reply. Then there's hope for me. I was beginning to think delivery would be months away!

I missed the preorders and I was excited to hear all of the rave reviews about this release. I placed my order on December 28 and received a shipping confirmation today. I can’t wait to see it!

Here's the famous landing shot as it appears in "The Joker's Flying Saucer." It may not be exactly the same shot as what we see in IFM, but it's pretty darn close. The other two shots are clearly stock images that did not appear in IFM...

I'm sure that's footage from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with a blue tint in the "saucer in the sky" stills.

Wish I'd known about this a month earlier, I>'d have made arrangements to drive down to revisit my alma mater Westchester County, to check out how one of my regular haunts (the Bedford Playhouse) looks now!

 

[uncledougie]

My August order just resulted in shipping notification today, so it looks like they shipped preorders or earliest date orders, and now they’re shipping everybody else in a large batch.

I believe you’d be pleasantly surprised.

And so it turns.
The Wheel.

May as well go for the white whale.
I’m pushing 50, You chaps must be pushing 80.
My concern is who’s gonna preserve and respect our shared crossover ?
I’ve done some cool stuff but in the greater scheme of things I worry nobody will care.

 

[MUFC]

For the record; my white whale is the final Beatles rooftop concert. But apparently that’s been done.
Quite poorly from what I’ve heard.

But do you long for the desert?

It had the same effect on me, when I first viewed it on TV back in the early 1960's on one of the NYC TV stations our B&W TV. When didn't get a color TV until 1965. One thing that always cracked me up about this movie is that one mutant that was little more chunkier than other mutants. Too many carbs. Anyhow, spent a great deal of time with the 4K disc. MacQueen and his restoration team did a great job with this release.

Perhaps that chunky mutant was a Kanamit who got served man a bit too often?

Scott MacQueen does amazing restoration work! Laurel & Hardy's SONS OF THE DESERT (1933) springs to mind.

CHEERS!
