TWILIGHT TIME 4th Birthday Celebration...The titles! (1 Viewer)

[Matt Hough]

A link would be nice.

I also put a link to both Screen Archives and the Twilight Time webpage at the end of every one of my reviews for their releases.

Definitely some titles I will pick up. With our crappy Canadian dollar it has been hard to get my head around buying from Twilight Time lately as it works out to about $37.50 a title, plus shipping, so this makes them more psychologically doable. Decisions,,,,decisions.

I feel your pain, now the hard part is picking what I want, without breaking the bank.

I just bought eleven titles. It kind of gives me that guilty feeling of "What the f*** did I just do?"

Well, you'd really be saying that if you had paid full price!

Took advantage of the sale to send a quintet of discounted titles to a friend of mine who just got into blu-ray last October...the whole package cost $107.20 including shipping for 5 movies: "All The King's Men", "Cover Girl", "Born Yesterday", "Inherit The Wind" & "Birdman Of Alcatraz". I already have all the titles I want from the sale.

Lucky friend! Looking for any new friends Luke?

Luke, do you own the T/T Cover Girl? If so, what are your thoughts of it? I've read differing opinions regarding the transfer quality and have been on the fence about purchasing it since its release, however, at this price may need to pull the trigger.

I picked up 6 TT titles (including LEAVE HER which is under 100 copies) + the Kritzerland double CD of Stormy Weather. This is my 1st Kritzerland purchase and hopefully not the last.


Thank you Nick (and Bruce)!

Lots of great choices, but I'm still scratching my head over the Sound and the Fury. We're asked to believe that Yul Brynner was born and raised in Mississippi, and the actress playing his mother, the southern matriarch, sounds as if she just stepped off a boat at Ellis Island. If you loved the book, you'll hate the movie.

Ordered Man in the Dark and Major Dundee. Thanks, Nick and all at TT and SAE for this promo.

"Cover Girl" was a problematic transfer for Sony's Grover Crisp to extract from what they had in Columbia's film vaults, so it's not a movie that will "wow" Technicolor fans of that era, but it's prime vintage-era Rita Hayworth and well worth having for the entertainment value...it IS, however, a significant step up in quality from all PREVIOUS home theater incarnations. Just not what you'd consider state-of-the-art...

After today, Nick Redman owes me a pint.

I hadn't ever bought any titles from TT, but a new interest in Blu and, hey sale!, meant I picked up Philadelphia, The Buddy Holly Story, Man From Laramie, and Bye Bye Birdie.

Nice little Sony 4k-sourced cache there Robert. None have looked or sounded remotely this good on home video...especially Holly and Laramie.

I only purchased this because it was sale-priced. It is a bare-bones disc. No trailer, no isolated score. Nada.

Thanks for your thoughts Luke. I love this movie and have owned the vhs, ld, and two dvd incarnations of it, so if it's that much of an upgrade from the last dvd, I'll buy it.

Joel,


This is what Robert Harris told me:


"Seems to be a problem with an optically exposed IP from the original negatives, and a huge contrast gain. I'm told that the original negs are no longer in good condition, and there may be no fine grains. This may be as good as it gets."


If you're expecting eye-popping Technicolor, you will be disappointed. Otherwise, for $20 you'll have a very enjoyable Blu-ray.

Looks like "Leave Her To Heaven" has sold out. It was less than 50 Copies a couple hours ago so I guess folks gobbled up

the last copies.

Just ordered INHERIT THE WIND on Blu-ray. I'm sure it'll be worth it, even though the total price of 29.9 dollars equals about 95 in my country's currency!
