Enjoy them, Dana! Which courier do they use to ship?

 

[dana martin]

Australia Post, is all the e-mail say's but it has a tracking feature, not the same as USPS,

Thanks, Dana! Did they give you an estimate on how long it should take to arrive? I want to figure out the fastest way to get my hands on A Place in the Sun in August.

 

[dana martin]

i will let you know as soon as i can actual get the tracking to work

Deep Discount has the 1st wave at exactly $25.00 each (Free Shipping even for a single) using the FLOWERS 15% coupon

Their release date is next week presumedly to account for shipping from AUS to DD warehouse.

Yup, I took advantage of it.

 

[willyTass]

picked these up today

The War of the Worlds looks good with many scenes retaining film grain

but unfortunately Sorry , Wrong number is a disgrace . May not be Via Visions fault because of what survives of this film and the master given to them

what we have here is a horribly digital , harsh looking transfer with blown out highlights , and lots of posterisation. It looks like shit .

With their website advertising Dolby digital audio for A Place in the Sun and The Carpetbaggers I hope they ain’t scraping the bottom of the barrel in what masters they purchase from Paramoumt

 

[Robert Crawford]

I hope to have both of those titles next week. I'll reserve any further comments until then except to say I'm not surprise by "The War of the Worlds" as it's my opinion that the 4K/Dolby Vision digital on iTunes is excellent video-wise.

Their upcoming Blu-ray of A Place in the Sun is supposed to be derived from the recent-ish 4K restoration. I saw the DCP of that projected and it looked gorgeous, so the Blu-ray should look quite nice. That's a shame about Sorry, Wrong Number, though. I've never seen that film but I love Stanwyck and the plot sounds right up my alley, so I planned to pick that one up when I ordered A Place in the Sun. Perhaps I'll just get the HD digital of Wrong Number on iTunes instead.

 

[AlexNH]

Are you from Australia?

 

[Alan Tully]

Yes, but these companies can only release the masters they're given (I know some companies like Criterion & Arrow sometimes to their own restorations). The key word here is >patience< don't pre-order, read a review or two first, but I'd take a chance with Sony or WAC.

 

[willyTass]

Are you from Australia?

Yeah, what’s left of it ahahahha

I'm definitely going to compare the two once my BD shows up.

Hi WillyTass
I'm thinking of picking up War of the Worlds. Just wondering how Imprint managed to get around having to stamp the awful censorship coding label on the cover artwork. Judging by your photo, they've managed to eliminate that artwork vandalism.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

So will a BD release in the States which is what I'm really waiting on.

Which I believe will be from Criterion.

Didn’t Criterion announce WoW?

edit: I just checked. Criterion is releasing WoW July 7, with only about 45 days away. Wait for the Criterion!

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

Didn’t Criterion announce WoW?

Yes, and I think they will also release A Place in the Sun.

 

[Alan Tully]

Which I believe will be from Criterion.

Yes, but...the amount of times that I've read that Criterion will maybe be releasing a certain film, well they must have a backlog of thousands of films to release
