With the one exception and that's the long lost short [still] called "Hats Off", as only scripts of that short remain intact and a few photos, but you never know when one might stumble upon it through some discovery of sorts somewhere across this world of ours.
That's why I still believe to this day, old school technology will never ever go away anytime soon. Just look at LP sales versus CD sales as an example, where LPs are outselling their counterparts by at least a 2 to 1 margin, maybe even more, but not cheap to own a standard LP though these days...
Malcolm, I heard that Ames story might going the way of the dodo bird as there were media trying to get a hold of them regarding that press release but nobody ever bothered answering those requests from Ames so who knows if that story of them re-opening is real or a fabrication yet again from...
Wondering if there is still demand for this series? Hell, I'd like to see Muppet Shows Season 4 & 5 be finally completed along with a host of other programs that are close to completion, like Mr. Belvidere for example.
Didn't even know that PC Richards was still around and hasn't a few cities tried to revitalize Circuit City, such as Dallas along with a few other Texas towns?
That's why I stated in my previous post if not this year, then by late next year they could be filing and closing up shop as they're on the starting trend of such with some of these moves they're making, so they may or may not go under, but at this current juncture, it's a slow first step...
Slowly but surely they will possibly be the next retailer to go by the end of either this year or next and with them getting out of the DVD/Blu-Ray business, this is just the start of the possible slow demise of Best Buy and if it's not this year, then next year for sure. Just like the rest of...
So Robert, just to make sure once and for all since you're the official authority on this film and having done all the proper restoration work on this classic for Criterion, is there a 210 minute version of this film or not and the 197 minute version is the longest and most extended version...
Or maybe they can do two sets of 31 shorts each (62 in total from the 1950s) and get it done quicker and move onwards to the 1960s, but again, just a guess at my end how it could pan out, but I see what you did there as WB Archives would probably want to stretch this series out, IF this does...
And then I came across some bad Reddit renderings of what the 1950s series might look like, stating there could be three volumes but again, these are nothing more than someone's renderings from that website and nothing official announced regarding the next in the series' releases...
Just hope Popeye: The 1950s finally starts to come out this year. The 1960s cartoons weren't that strong in terms of content, but wasn't a compilation of those specific 1960s cartoons released many a year ago and then it ceased?
Sorry for not stating your full name, Robert, but again, at the rate they're going about doing business and lingering towards a pattern or path like Toys R Us and Sears and a vast array of other stores have been conducting business and not truly satisfying customers' interests, PLUS being out of...
I remember as well, there was another Road special made with Danny Thomas as part of a variety show back in the day, the Road to Lebanon, so I would consider that an 8th movie of the franchise, even though it wasn't a movie, per se...
Let's be thankful that the nice folks at ClassicFlix did their damndest to clean up the series from the film stock and actually have the entire series of 52 episodes released on the Blu-Ray format, as that show is worth watching, no matter what format it might be on as it's good wholesome family...
However you look at it Rob, like Sears and many other brick and mortar retailers of the past, if they cannot adjust or adapt to today's consumer standards and such, they'll be the next to go and the way Best Buy is running their operations as of late, hence why I'm "predicting" they will go...
I'm predicting the next retailer to declare for bankruptcy is Best Buy and total liquidation of their stores by the end of 2024 or early 2025. Just also found out, off topic, Sears only has 12 stores remaining throughout the USA and 2 Kmarts...WOW!
Ron, totally agree, especially with their BS price matching policy as they have gotten very picky and stingy when it comes for them to adhere to that policy. I had issues with them towards price-matching a mini fridge but get this, because the mini fridge I was price-matching with didn't have an...
I'm figuring that in 2024, the next retailer to go belly up will be Best Buy as I cannot see them lasting past the fall at the very latest, as they're completely out of touch with the public and overpriced to boot. Was once a good store, but so was Circuit City, Fry's and a host of others.
Harry, my fault, as I got the movies mixed up as I thought he starred in Sound of Music, but that was Mary Poppins he was in, so my bad and error on that front.
And speaking of Dick Van Dyke, this coming Sunday on ABC will be the annual airing of "The Sound of Music" from 6-10 PM CT and then next Thursday on CBS, a Dick Van Dyke 2 hour special will be airing from 8-10 PM CT in celebration of his 98th birthday, so enjoy!
Any chance WB or MGM releases The Wizard of Oz in an 85th Anniversary deluxe box set as next year marks 85 years since the film's premiere in 1939, like they did for the 70th and 75th versions?
And here is the official cover art for Season 2 of the show AND another completed series we can check off on the listings, both to be available in DVD and Blu-Ray format come 1/30/2024...
