Twilight Time's Release Schedule

[captveg]

Any numbers on the two new pre-orders yet? I assume I'm OK to wait on Hard Times for when Sleepless in Seattle becomes available for pre-order next month.

There will be 3000 each

[Show spoiler]

Isn't there a way to see how many of the "3000" copies of certain Blu-Ray's are left through Twilight Time's website?

Thanks.

No because TT doesn't have a web site. However, their titles are sold exclusively on SAE and you can check there.

Yeah, I knew that Twilight Time used Screen Archives...this still doesn't answer my question as to how to check.

This is what some refer to as the cart game; add the title to your cart or wishlist, change quantity to 3000, and hit update. This may not always work or show the exact number of copies remaining. It should be pretty accurate in terms on the number of copies currently in inventory (on hand) at SAE. There's a possibility that there are additional copies at the warehouse which aren't accounted for in the SAE inventory.

If there was any way to check, I'm sure people would have mentioned it hundreds of times in many of the previous 260 pages of this thread.

I must assume you have read much of this previous thread because you obviously wouldn't be posting here asking a question that's already been answered many, many times.

Since you have not found the answer in your reading of this thread so far, it must be concluded that there is no way to check inventory.

[Arkadin]

There is NO RELIABLE way to check after a title has been released.
the end.

Reliable or not, Big Heat sez 435 remain, and that does sound about right to me, although considering they've apparently jumped the gun in the past with their '500 left' announcements, it does seem strange that no message has so far appeared. That would have to mean that there are, roughly, 100 odd copies available from their Amazon storefront? I would really be surprised if there was another 500 (?) shipment on the way.

There's no way TT would let a title go under 500 without an announcement, given that the announcement spurs sales - especially when you're talking about them being weeks late on said announcement. Based on how things have been in the past, I would guess that The Big Heat has around 1300 copies remaining (but that's purely a guess).

Anyone heard any news on The Ox-Bow Incident? Rumors have been going around that it's a possible TT release.

[pedromc69]

I wonder if they can release La Bamba.

No, I haven't heard anything but there is a German BD which will play on a Region A & B player if your interested. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Ox...3997/#Overview

That would seem to be a solid assumption.

Coincidentally, I just finished rewatching Désirée tonight. I've listened to North's beautiful score isolated a couple of times, just pumping the sound into the next room without actually watching it. But for some reason, I was in the mood to see this movie again in its entirety. As ever, Brando was mesmerizing as Napoleon, but it's really Simmons' show as the titular character...she carries the thing heart, mind, and soul. Probably not for everyone, but I have a continuing shine for it.

Or for pure 70mm "don't-make-'em-like-that-anymore" fun, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.

A bit late but I ended up picking up Swamp Water and Leave Her to Heaven along with Rapture.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Ok...maybe that's a bit harsh .

But, as far as I'm concerned, Blu-ray was custom made for movies like BYE BYE BIRDIE. When the play was adapted into a movie, several of the staged dance numbers were specifically choreographed to take advantage of the widescreen Panavision (info taken from the insert on the elderly DVD). It's splashy, bold, colorful, widescreen action.

Took a look at Picnic and Bye Bye Birdie and have put them on a list for a future purchase.

With the upcoming Arrow release of The Fury and Sony UK's upcoming release of Philadelphia (which may even be region free, given that most of Sony's releases are), it looks like TT's model may have to take a beating if folks (with multi-region capability) decide to wait out for other territory releases instead of assuming that no other release will occur elsewhere at least within the exclusivity window accorded to TT in the US. I have mixed feelings about this. While I dislike paying full retail for TT's mostly barebones releases, I also understand that their approach of upfront royalties to the rights holders allows for releases of films that would otherwise languish, so for them to die out on account of loss of business (because they would depend on the sales of some high-profile or cult movies to balance out the risks of their other titles) due to this factor may be a sad thing.
On the other hand I'm hoping something will happen about Fright Night soon.

Sleepless in Seattle pre-order from Amazon Italy is only 8.19 EUR

Enjoy

All are great suggestions worth adding to your collection, and the three you picked are definitely first-rate (especially RAPTURE).

And as for "pure 70mm 'don't-make-'em-like-that-anymore' fun" it's worth noting that I just saw the CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG Blu-ray for an amazing price of $4.99 at Best Buy (and I thought I'd gotten it at a bargain for only $17.50 at Target back when it came out)! It's got spectacular picture and sound, as well as a few moderately interesting extras.

Wonder if this could possibly have an effect on how Sony is currently having many of their catalog titles put out on blu through TT.
