    Kaleidescape Continues to Innovate with Terra Prime 96TB Movie Server

    They must be doing OK if they’re still investing in R&D, but if the company went under, you’d lose access to the movies stored on your equipment, right?

    Blu-ray Review Colt .45: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review

    Warner’s shows were on ABC, which didn’t air anything in color until the Fall of 1962. Bonanza was on NBC, which was part of RCA, which wanted to sell color televisions.

    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    I’ve been disappointed by some Imprint releases. Secret of the Incas was unwatchable (literally—I stopped watching). Their packaging is fantastic, but I’ve read that they don’t any work on what they get from the studios, and sometimes their discs come from old masters. In this case, though, I...

    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    The rest of the series made sense on its own terms. The finale was something different altogether: an exercise in surrealism without a logical narrative. I found it a very unsuitable and unsatisfying ending.

    I received the same response. Their first email said they were unable to obtain supply (obviously incorrect). This one leaves doubt as to whether cancellations will be a recurring problem. I placed an order for my three items with Orbit DVD and saved ten dollars.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbia Classics Volume 4 -- in 4k UHD

    Note that Zavvi is selling the UK release. I assume that means no digital codes. I can‘t tell if the 1080p discs are region-free. The Rarewaves listing includes: “Region Code: Region B.” BR.com’s listing notes “A, C untested.”

    Peacock Paramount+ Report: Paramount+ and Peacock May Be Considering Combined Streaming Service

    As the article says, these were just early discussions that “haven’t progressed beyond the spit-balling stage.” Like the earlier stories about Paramount discussions, this one was probably leaked by the company’s investment bankers or others trying to generate interest. Paramount is in a very...

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Classics 4k Ultra HD Collection: Volume 4

    That’s the release date of the British release. It’s possible the 1080p BDs are Region B (as Rarewaves indicates). Something to be aware of.

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Classics 4k Ultra HD Collection: Volume 4

    There are rumors that this was a much smaller run than volumes 2 and 3. Amazon is currently the only large on-line retailer with it in stock, and Amazon hasn’t discounted it at all. You may be fine waiting, but there’s a chance you’ll miss out.

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    You should re-read the stories in Men Without Women. One of them uses the n-word 14 times, including from the third-person narrator. I would be disappointed if a current-day publisher either altered the text of classic literature or published it without comment. If reading a publisher’s brief...

    A Few Words About While we wait for a few words about… Killers Of The Flower Moon - in 4k UHD

    The 4K region lock apparently was an error. Eagle has said it will reissue the movie region-free. Then it should be available at least from Amazon’s Italy site. https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=21863201&postcount=223
