Remember, sticks and stones can break your bones but words cause permanent damage.

Love this film! Be nice to get a Bogosian commentary too.
This film also was the reason I studied Broadcasting in College!

This was on my 'holy grail' list, too. Didn't think it would hit Blu-ray, but it's definitely great to see that it is.

I may make an exception to my 'no full-price/pre-orders' rule in this particular case.

Day 1 for sure

You guys are making me excited about this release! Love me some late eighties Stone, PLATOON & WALL STREET going into this completely blind.

Great movie. Just be prepared for a LOT of dialogue. But it’s smart, intellectually stimulating and very entertaining. This is a film that I didn’t believe would ever see the light of day on Blu-ray! Thank goodness for small miracles. Definitely day 1 purchase for me!!!

rocknblues81 · 12-01-2018, 02:06 PM

One thing.... It's been years since I've seen this. My politics has changed a lot since I've seen it (more conservative) and so I hope this holds up for me.

I'm not a huge Oliver Stone fan but I've been meaning to get around to watching this in full after catching some of this on cable years ago. This will be a rare pre-order for me as well. I have a feeling this one is going to be a quickish sell.

CreepyThinMan · 12-01-2018, 03:06 PM

AWESOME. My favorite Oliver Stone film. Can't believe Eric Bogosian didn't get an Oscar for this movie for either his godly performance or the script?!?

tehthomas · 12-01-2018, 04:59 PM

Cool.
Looks to be worth a blind buy.

Good news! TR is an excellent film that really gets under your skin, and one of OS's best. Too bad it's fairly underrated & not discussed much these days. The storyline is especially interesting because it takes place in the late '80's, when I suspect a lot more people were listening to radio talk shows like this, than in this era.

One of the scenes that especially creeped me out was when

[Show spoiler]

The fact that Barry Champlain (Bogosian)

[Show spoiler]

For some reason, I like watching this in the late Fall/Winter months, even though it's not a holiday film. But, I guess that means it's time to watch the DVD once again - especially now, since the Blu is forthcoming & I really want to revisit this.

Unless they add tons of special features and a 5.1 soundtrack, I will stick with my Digital HD copy.

If you support neo-nazis this definitely will NOT hold up for you.

I'm gonna try and hold out until the first time it gets a sale price, the same thing I did with "Moby Dick" -- I expect this will be relatively quick for Twilight Time, but I'd bet it lasts about a year, give or take a few months. [It's not so much about saving a few bucks on *this* title, but the shipping feels more reasonable to me when spread out across a few discs.]
