Sweet! First, Better Off Dead and now One Crazy Summer. And it's WB which usually does a respectable job with catalog titles. I mean, it can't look worse than the transfer Paramount did for Better Off Dead, right? The only downside is both discs are completely barebones.

true but at least the retail isn't about 30 buck like B.O.D
I'm just glad it's coming nad WS hopefully the a/v will be good.

Now all we need is "How I Got Into College" to complete the Savage Steve Holland trifecta.

 

[JohnS]

I love "How I Got Into College"
It's been a long time since I've seen OCS.

Excellent! I've been looking forward to this for a while.

I just had a dream about this movie last night, and I'm not even a big fan. Guess it meant something after all.

and I just recently made a DVD-R of my VHS (never was released letterboxed on LD) of One Crazy Summer. i had given up hope for this comedy gem!

Great, I need this and The Sure Thing for my Cusack collection

 

[Walt Riarson]

Just got this one in the mail today, and to my surprise the disc has an audio commentary with director Savage Steve Holland, Curtis Armstrong (Booger from Revenge of the Nerds), and Bobcat Goldthwait.
Thank you, Warner Bros, for doing something as simple as this, that not even Paramount had enough care to do.

 

[James L White]

Walt, if you've watched the discalready how is the a/v? I can't find reviews anywhere, I'm still waiting on mine to arrive from DDD.com

Now I HAVE to get this. I wish that Holland and John Cusack had done a commentary for Better Off Dead. I can't wait for this now.

I think that comes down to studios. Paramount has "Better Off Dead" and, as usual, it was bare-bones. This DVD pretty much demonstrates that at least S.S.H. would have done a commentary if asked, but I'm sure no one at Paramount bothered with that.

 

[Andrew Bunk]

Heads up on this one-may not have shipped in good quantities.
I purchased the only copy on the shelf this morning at Best Buy. There were no gaps so this was the only one put out. They may have had more unstocked, but I'm not sure. Also, same deal with Sibling Rivalry from MGM-only 1 copy out.

 

[Walt Riarson]

Watching it right now. So far the video looks okay. Not great, but I've certainly seen worse transfers. Better than Paramount's Better Off Dead transfer, in my opinion.

Is it just me or is Paramount getting worse? No trailers on the Brady movies or anything.

 

[Adam_ME]

Is it just me or is Paramount getting worse?

Nah, they've always been this bad when it comes to supplements. Unless of course it's a classic like Jackass the Movie or Crossroads, then they give it the full blown SE treatment. But at least they FINALLY jumped on the DTS bandwagon, so there's one area where they've got an edge on WB.

 

[Jeffrey Gray]

I think that the resignation of Eric Doctorow (and arrival of Tom Lesinski) is going to open the door to more extras, lower prices, and more use of DTS (Doctorow seemed to have something against all three; for example, James Cameron had to fight to get the Titanic DTS LD made, and when he succeeded, it was a Lightstorm/Image disc, with zero involvement from Paramount)
