I very much recommend the transfers on the Marlene Dietrich Universal Vault Collection DVD Set on TCM's shop. I have already put my opinion in on the films (Dishonored being my fav Dietrich/Sternberg).

Ok. I made an offer on a copy of Black Moon on ebay. The offer I made was 20$. Then I got an counter-offer, wich was also on 20$. Except now the items name was changed to "The Language of Life - Swirl Like a Leaf".

And when I search ebay for Black Moon the items comes up with the name "The Language of Life - Swirl Like a Leaf".

Can someone explain to me whats going on?

Very odd. Maybe the UPC's are crossed?

Is there any news about the Carlos disc exchange?

She is great in Touch of Evil. The Eureka BD has a supplement that states the studio didn't know that she was in the film until they saw rushes.

I watched Eyes Without A Face for the first time last night, and what a true masterpiece. I loved the beautiful ending especially.

what's up the exchange of 'White' - I sent my disc back to them, but haven't seen a replacement disc yet.

Ordered La Jetee from DVD Empire and threw in Drive to get free shipping. Do you or any previous DVD Empire customers know how long it generally takes to receive orders mailed with freebie shipping?

World on a Wire at DVD Beaver

Criterion's looks more natural. Their appears to be a decent amount of DNR in the Region B copy when compared to Criterion's. Can't wait.

+1 on can't wait.

I pretty much shuffled the World on a Wire and Anatomy of a Murder preorders to the back of my mind right after placing them but I've been getting those 'oh yeah, this is getting close' tingles lately.

WoaW is a blind buy so I'm particularly looking forward to getting my hands on it.

I really regret not preordering World on a Wire back when the price was low. I only preorderd Anatomy of a Murder. Oh well, WoaW is totally worth full price.

Did you remember to give them your address? :o:p

I received the $10.00 coupon email after about a week. The replacement disc arrived after an additional week or so. (@2 weeks after I mailed the defective disc to Criterion's New York office) The disc arrives in a plain cardboard disc sleeve. I was worried that the disc would be scratched, but my copy was pristine.

How long have you been waiting?

Oh Shanghai Express ranks up there at the top for me as well. I just hold Dishonored above them all just for my own reasons that has nothing to do with the "artistic" aspect of the film itself or however one would "rate" a film.

Blow Out
 
Has anyone found Blow Out on blu for less than $20?

Thanks!

Such a garbage. Not worth $1, Criterion or not.

Some people, like myself, do actually enjoy the film. What a shock, I know :ohnoes:


to answer the question, keep an eye out on your Amazon's Gold Box, I found mine there for like $21, or so.

Depends on where you live. Mine shipped Friday, arrived Wednesday ("today"). (Which is a day or two quicker than the last few times.)

It's not a great film and to be honest I would even be a little hard pressed to say it's very good but it's definitely not garbage either. It's a great time capsule for its era, the performances are all pretty enjoyable and it all fits together awfully well considering what it is.

The release is very good as well. Blow Out looks absolutely great and Murder ala Mod alone would be a great supplement pack.

I'm glad I picked it up cheap(ish) during a B&N sale but I don't regret having it at all.
