Everybody but everybody is saying that this year's bumper crop of
MGM MIDNIGHT MOVIES is coming this August 2004. Just be patient
about it!

Okay fine. But are you really so sure about this?

Remember we're now talking about (appromimately) three months till
the tentative August release date and surely at this late stage MGM
has decided on exactly just what films will be included in the new
MIDNIGHT MOVIES collections. The company must pretty much have the
respective packaging designs completed and mass pressings should
also have commenced by now as well to meet the August deadline.

All that really remains to be said is that after last year's
excellent sellections (ie. The completions of the Roger Corman
Edgar Allan Poe film series and the Beach Party films) this year's
MGM Midnight Movies collection certainly has a lot to live up to.

Yes I know! THE GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI (1966) is still
outstanding and it would certainly made an excellent MIDNIGHT MOVIES
combo DVD disc with THE GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW (1959). This just
goes to show you that there's still gold to be mined in the MGM-
United
Artists film vaults.

Lastly it was announced by an (allegedly) informed source that
Warner Brothers Home Entertainment intends to release this coming
August 2004 a deluxe two-disc set for FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956) but I
can't find any official conformation on this.

Does anyone in this discussion forum know anything definite about it?
