... And supposedly there is a Boris Karloff set in the work (as a followup to the Bela Lugosi set). Hurrah! That's what I want to hear. Does anyone have an...
If a Karloff set is in the works from Universal, then I imagine it would include...NIGHT KEY (1937), THE CLIMAX (1944), THE STRANGE DOOR (1952), and THE BLACK...
I would like to see The Boogie Man Will Get You and The Man They Couldn't Hang (I don't think this one has been released yet), but I haven't the foggiest who ...
There's also TOWER OF LONDON, but as I mentioned in my other post this Karloff set is at this point little more than fan speculation-- there has no hint from...
seeing how at this moment we have no clue what Sony will do with the MMDFs (Konga is coming out without the line label) or what Universal is doing with its ...
From what I've heard from reliable sources, Sony is well aware of the fan demand for Midnite Movies, and will probably continue the line, although when the...
Hi fellow listers ! It never fails: I've been wanting to see this flick for about 15 years, it comes on Halloween on TCM and my digital recorder program...
Well these two titles have been available for years on VHS in great prints, I certainly wont be upgrading. Why dont they release things not already available? ...
Hi gang! A number of people wrote me back offering both help and good advice. Thanks to you all ! I love being on the right lists. Best regards, --Volker ......
Because a large number of customers want the much better quality offered in the DVD edition with possible extras, plus the advantages of a medium that won't...
Well it appears that the new Special Edition of War of the Worlds uses the same print as the last DVD - you can see every wire holding up the spaceships. You ...
Personally, I don't want the studios to start "fixing" the old movies. If you could see the wires when watching it on a big screen in the 50s, I also want to...
... My reaction to that: You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You want them to tamper with the movies? -s [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Curtis, AMEN! Give me the wires and all the imperfections of the original. I was sad to see that when the original KING KONG was remastered years ago, they...
from what I've heard today, the problem is that Paramount cleaned and brightened up the print too much and that's why all the wires are visible. All this stuff...
So, George, did you get to see this? I'm in the middle of it and have to say its pretty impressive. Summary: Count Drago, a mad scientist experimenting with...
Ann Robinson said in an interview years ago that you could see the wires in the original release but RM Hayes I think said in his book on Oscar Special Effects...
Maybe I can see your point, but maybe not. Perhaps the dvd has more definition and brightness than the original print as shown in theaters back in the day, and...
I'd have said the opposite - they've used a good enough print that every detail (including the wires!) is in there. If they'd CG'd them out, people would've ...
I love this film, and currently own a bootleg of it. I don't have TCM, but luckily a friend is running off a DVD of the broadcast for me. [Non-text portions...
There have been about three or four BBC Doctor Who releases that have given the viewer the option of watching the fully restored episodes with or without new...
The February 2006 issue of SCARLET STREET will be covering lots of 50s material like THE RETURN OF DRACULA, ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE(including a Susan ...
TCM ran a nasty looking print of this with bogus mattes on the top and bottom that are not supposed to be there. They used an old AIP TV print and re shot the...
I don't think so (about them using the same print).. it looked like a different print source than the original DVD. Most certainly an improvement over that...
Totally agree with you on every point there!!!!! Cheers Simon ... movies. If you could see the wires when watching it on a big screen in the 50s, I also want...
Also I wouldn't trust modern filmmakers with anything to do with "fixing", classic films anyway. They dont have the respect for those products that the old...
