Not sure, but I could completely see those coming from TT although Mr. Sardonicus seems to be coming out from Mill Creek.

Just went to order and noticed TT have hiked their postage costs up quite a LOT!

Certainly have - for UK customers it's gone from $5 to $12.50! Though I did notice that if you buy 2 it only increases to $15, so it was cheaper for me to order GREYSTOKE from them as well. Cunning...

Well, I pre-ordered MAJOR DUNDEE, but the total price with postage is a little over $40. That kind of smarts a little bit, but then I lived through the laserdisc era, and Blu-rays and DVDs are still a bargin compared to those LD days. Man, I'm glad I didn't sink the cost of a small car into those things. Some guys did, and now what do they have? Then again, we could be saying the same thing about BDs in fifteen years.

I believe the USPS have raised their overseas postage quite significantly this year. People have complained about higher charges from other labels, too. Code Red even suspended sales to people outside the US for a while because the owner got fed up being called a rip-off.

Brian81 · 03-24-2013, 07:50 PM

Is there (anywhere) a list of the numbers of units still available for each title, that is regularly updated?

Arkadin · 03-24-2013, 09:09 PM

no because those lists are NOT accurate.

Mao · 03-24-2013, 09:36 PM

So, the original posting on the main page awhile back said "At Long Last Love" was scheduled for April 9th....that probably isn't happening since I've seen nothing anywhere about it and it's not available anywhere for pre-order...

That was posted almost two whole pages ago!

You don't actually expect anybody to read THAT far back do you?

Most people cant be bothered to read two POSTS back

With the recent release on CD from Intrada of the late/great Jerry Goldsmith score (complete and in stereo!) to 1964's SHOCK TREATMENT from Fox, I have to wonder if this Nick Redman co-produced CD/restoration means that a Twilight Time Blu-ray release with isolated score is in the works? I certainly hope so, as I've only seen a pan&scan transfer of this Panavision movie on TV. I hadn't even started kindergarten yet when this movie first came out in the summer of 1964, which means that 2014 will be its 50th anniversary. The movie is far from a great one, but it has its fans, including me. It's a summer drive-in movie from a time ever more distant, but I sure hope TT brings it back, either this summer or the next.

Does TT's deal with Fox give them access to MGM titles, does anyone know?

I was reading the discussion about Tangerine Dream scores and craptacular full-frame DVDs in the Sorcerer thread, and it reminded me of Miracle Mile...it would be right up TT's alley...

It doesn't, there's separate licensing involved there.

Rory · 03-25-2013, 03:12 PM

I think Fox Home Video distributes some MGM/UA stuff but it's Sony that has the rights to modern MGM movies, while Warner and Turner hold the rights to the older pre-1970's MGM library titles. It's a mess. Poor Leo.

MIRACLE MILE has been released by TGG Direct on DVD, licensed from MGM. The newly released version is letterboxed, finally, but, unfortunately, not 16x9 enhanced.

Fixed. If you don't mind.

TT is working on a licensing deal with MGM. Don't be surprised if some of the MGM titles find their way onto Blu-ray through TT very soon.

Nice info I wasn't aware of this.

I'd get it, The Swimmer is a great film.

Yeah, I have the original MGM DVD and from memory it is open matte, I saw MM projected at 1:85. I might grab that DVD until a Blu-Ray comes along, thanks.

Good to know, and isn't surprising, seeing as crash-strapped MGM will take money whereever they can get it.
