I don't know if the folks that haven't received emails are using Gmail or not, but all of my Ignite emails are "helpfully" shunted off into Gmail's "Promotions" folder. Even though I transfer each one into my Primary folder, each successive one goes into Promotions. My point being, those...

Dang, I just tried to order a copy from Best Buy, but it was Store Pickup Only--no delivery. Is that a common thing with BB?

Beautiful work, as always, Fritz. Yes, it is horrifying and baffling why anyone signed off on that awful Photoshop "artwork."

So with THE RAVEN, THE COMEDY OF TERRORS, THE TOMB OF LIGEIA, and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH getting recent KL announcements, will the other titles from Shout's Price Collection II be coming soon, too (DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL), I wonder? I omit RETURN OF THE FLY, as it's part of...

Would buy these in a heartbeat: The Secret of Roan Inish Mindwalk Cold Comfort Farm Enchanted April The Dish The Castle

Fritz, these are absolutely stunning--beautiful work!

I'm anxiously awaiting my copy--should get here any day now. Curious to know if anyone here has received a copy, and your impressions?

And it looks like pre-orders are being taken now here.

In the spirit of Equinox, Night of the Living Dead, Carnival of Souls, The Blob, Fiend Without a Face, etc., I would dearly love to see Charles B. Pierce's The Legend of Boggy Creek get a Criterion release. Long available only in crappy cropped bootleg versions, it's currently undergoing a...

Best theory I've heard is La Vie de Jesus.

There's not much to elaborate on--as I stated in my original post, I was curious. I heard of a film that might be getting a 4K scan from a pristine print, as no pre-print material can be found, and I just wondered if/when that had been done satisfactorily. As always, the knowledgeable folks on...

Hi all, I figured if anyone could answer this, it would be the learned members of the HTF. I'm curious to know what blu-rays are commercially available that were sourced from scans of 35mm prints (as opposed to original negatives, or some intermediate step), and what is your opinion of the...

I have seen the Janus Films release currently in release, and it looks & sounds fantastic--there's every reason to think Criterion will distribute it on Blu/DVD next year. And as far as I know, Janus/Criterion are the only ones actually compensating Image Ten (Romero's production company). My...

Fritz, I can honestly say the first of the two Superman III covers just above is better than the movie itself was. :laugh:

They might not want all of them for the collection, but the ones they don't want usually get sold (like unneeded book donations), and the proceeds in turn support the library.

My favorite commentaries have been on some of the Kurosawa discs from Criterion. Besides providing the standard context, they often point out the things lost in translation--words or gestures or references that have a very specific meaning to a Japanese audience, but are completely lost on...

Besides shorter waiting lists for new release blu-rays, they are also more resistant to scratches. So library blu-rays are usually less likely to skip/freeze than DVDs.

It was included in the Meet Joe Black 2-disc "Ultimate Edition" DVD, issued in 2001 (UPC# 025192127625)

Aha! Thank you, Bruce--that was indeed the case. The first three or four New copies for sale were all third-party, but Amazon.de was listed farther down (at a higher price, natch). When I chose that one, it all went through fine. Many thanks!

I just tried to purchase it, but it wouldn't accept any of my American ship-to addresses. Message was (translated): "This item can not be sent to the selected address. You can either change the delivery address or to remove this item from your order." Bummer. I love this movie so much, I was...

Pre-ordered--it can't come fast enough! Many thanks, Bob and Greg!!!

That is the email address given under "Contact Us" on his website, so I think it's fair game.

Does anyone know if Amazon Canada currently has the Frankenstein and Wolfman Legacy Collections in alternate listings as non imports, priced at $32.89 each? ;) Update: Sorry, when I posted this originally, Tony's post above was displaying his message repeated, like, a hundred times. But now...

Hell, Fritz, that's not cheating. That's an eye for design and layout, and recognizing great elements. Plus, long, painstaking work. It's not like we thought you actually painted those posters! ;-)

I've found this to be true for me, too. What I usually do is watch the dark/violent/super-scary stuff very early in the month, then when I reach that point, I start to transition to lighter fare: Ghostbusters, Young Frankenstein, 13 Ghosts, The Tingler, etc. This has kept me from thoughts of...

Also, if you're on the Facebooks, the Manos: The Restoration page (a couple posts down from the top)...

Done and done.

As a selector for a public library's video collection, I can say we LOVE combo packs! While some of our patrons have upgraded to blu, many still have not. With a combo pack, we can purchase and circulate a single title and please both camps at the same time. If they're split between formats, we...

He completely reinvented himself, career-wise. Up until Murder, My Sweet, he was a genial crooner in musical comedies. That's why they changed it from the book's original title of Farewell, My Lovely--the studio was afraid people would think it was a musical, since it was starring Dick Powell.

Brandon, my opinion is to do whatever is easiest for you. If it's faster/easier to just list everything Vinegar Syndrome is putting out without having to take the time to determine "is this cult or is this porn (or whatever)," then go for it. But if that's a fast, easy call and leaving them off...
