Me too. Won't be making the same mistake again.

[DukeTogo84]

Sweet. Will be picking this up.

Great news as the Twilight Time blu could definitely use some improvement! A large portion of this movie was actually filmed in my tiny hometown in Alabama when I was a young buck. I was even lucky enough to meet most of the primary cast too. I was just in 2nd grade at the time, so names like Gene Hackman and Frances McDormand didn't mean a whole lot to me then.

I had been tinkering for awhile to import the Second Sight release but I'll probably pick this one up instead.

[slasherdisc]

May have to double dip on this one. This is a great film!

[StingingVelvet]

No offense to Kino but I'll wait and see how it compares before buying.

I have both the TT and UK discs. The UK disc looks noticeably better tahn the TT disc so Kino would have to do better than the UK disc to get me to triple dip.

Ditto.

I instituted a policy to never again pay anywhere close to the full price for the MGM sourced Twilight Time discs , and this is a good example of why. Although this was one of the more decent MGM discs per the review, so it's possible the Kino wont' be too substantially better.

I was actually discussing this film with someone a few weeks ago and sort of lamenting that I didn't grab it at whatever the lowest price it was before disappearing. But even that may turn out to be a fortunate "mistake" if the Kino is even slightly better.

I paid less than $15 for the UK disc and it has better PQ than the TT disc.

Eh, they both seem to be on par with each other.

Hardly: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=85...0&a=1&go=0&l=1

The difference is even more noticeable in motion.

It seems more subtle than "noticeably" to me but than again I don't own either disc.

Coming June 18th!

Mississippi Burning (1988) with optional English subtitles
• Brand New 4K Restoration
• Audio Commentary by Director Alan Parker
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 127 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
Screen greats Gene Hackman (Unforgiven, The Package) and Willem Dafoe (Platoon, To Live and Die in L.A.) co-star in this masterpiece directed by legendary filmmaker Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Angel Heart). Mississippi Burning ranks as one of the most potent and insightful views of racial turmoil ever filmed. Nominated for six Oscars and winner of an Academy Award for Best Cinematography (Peter Biziou, The Truman Show), this emotionally charged film vividly captures a crucial chapter in American history. In Jessup County, 1964, as three civil rights activists drive down a desolate stretch of highway, headlights ominously draw near. Telling each other to stay calm, they have no way of knowing that in minutes they will disappear into the night and spark one of the most explosive murder investigations in history. Enter straight-laced Ward (Dafoe) and deceptively easy-going Anderson (Hackman). Can these two philosophically opposed FBI agents overcome their differences and uncover the chilling mystery of a small Ku Klux Klan-ridden community before it tears itself apart? The amazing cast includes Frances McDormand (Fargo), R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket), Brad Dourif (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) and Michael Rooker (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer).
