Warner Archive Announcements Thread (8 Viewers)

I agree with this post, but like most of us, I am frustrated by the fact that the titles we most request are mostly being left unreleased. The fact that Shout! Factory has recently entered into an agreement with WB is encouraging, and suggests that WB is finally admitting it cannot meet the demands of collectors by itself. If they can achieve what Universal lately has -- licensing their titles out to multiple niche companies -- things are going to get way-y-y better!

Just depends on what groups they are aiming for. So far, Shout! has yet to release anything on blu that appeals to me (although they mainly focus on horror, a genre I don't care for at all). The upcoming Criterion release of King Of Jazz is probably the first "must-have" (for me, anyways, since I really like musicals from the late 20s through the 50s) Universal-owned title that I have seen not come from Universal themselves. So far, WB hasn't been licensing musicals (at least, not through Criterion yet, anyway), and until that happens (hopefully through Classicflix, if I could have my preference), I will mainly be focusing on WAC.

I didn't find any general WAC blurays thread so I'll write this here.
In the other forum someone claims that Supergirl (1984) is coming in June!

Really hope this is true and includes the director's cut too.
I know this is a bad movie, but I love it since I first saw it in my childhood!
(and it has a great Jerry Goldsmith score too)

I don't recall liking Supergirl when it first come out, but truthfully I don't remember it much at all. I might pick this up if it came with the DC, as I have read that it brings back scenes that are relevant and make the movie better.

I agree. It's far from a perfect film. But I enjoy it. Helen Slater is great in the title role and makes it worthwhile. I have the two disc set from Anchor Bay. The longer version of the film helps, but the Argo City and Phantom Zone sequences are still confusing. At least to me.

Despite all its campy Faye Dunaway-esque qualities, I still kind of enjoyed it. I'll definitely buy it if on Blu-ray.

Bracing myself for the next round of disappointments next week...but you never know

 

[Ed Lachmann]

A new array of disappointments and second rate titles I'd wager as well.

 

[Arthur Powell]

I'll predict nothing from before 1940 again as well. "42nd Street" has to be feeling quite lonely.

Funny memory about this film is when it came out (I was about 7) a family friend took her daughter (about the same age as me) myself, and one other kid to the movies to see this. I must have hated it because the only thing I really remember is riding in the mom's really awesome '80 or '81 Firebird... I'd be willing to give it another chance...

This thread seems to have grown legs. At this point, I would request that the header be changed to "While We Await the Next Warner Bros Archives Announcements.

Thanks.

Which, riding in the awesome Firebird or watching Supergirl?

It's the 21st Century. Now he can do both at the same time. Or even in 84' if he went to a drive-in.

 

[trajan007]

Could RYANS DAUGHTER be coming in a week or so? Just asking.

 

[Bernard McNair]

We can only hope!!

 

[TheSteig]

Id rather have The Giant Behemoth

I imagine the Firebird is long gone unfortunately (plus the family moved to Colorado a couple of years later anyways) so I’ll give Supergirl another chance. No luck on the drive in either. It was a mall theater (remember those?) lol

she was great in the movie but she Is now all plastic and Jerry Goldsmith's music score is phenomenal . John Williams was first choice but it clashed with his scoring schedule.

It just made sense to do so.
