Ordered Rapture and Swamp Water today. Had been putting it off for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger since the holidays will be here soon.

It apparently sells well enough for Fox not to have discontinued it since it came out on dvd in 1999 (reissued in 2005 with a different cover). I'd love this on blu-ray since it's never received a 16x9 transfer.

When TT releases go up for preorder, is the TT website the best place to go or is there another option?

Here are the only two options (they don't have a website. yet):

http://www.screenarchives.com/

Not sure if it has been brought up, but the following is a post by Ms. Kirgo at TT's FB in response to a question about re-licensing Body Double for another 3,000 limited run:

It's more a question of, will the studios ever let us re-license?

^ usually TT's facebook response to the questioning of the 3,000 allotted units is more antagonistic.

Julie is generally a lot more pleasant than Nick.

Has anyone heard anything about the 2 Sinbad fims coming from another company?
I feel extremely stupid that I bouth the Fury from TT.
the new Arrow release has excellent picture quality, loads of extras, and also includes the isolated score. (not to mention the much lower price of course)

Does anyone know why the company that owns the film gave another master to USA and another to Europe?

Shame that Christine isn't that way as I know a load of people that want it and didn't get it.

Is The Fury region free? I'd be more inclined importing it if it is.

Pre-orders for Oliver! go up tomorrow. I remember them saying that there would be 100 signed copies, but ScreenArchives doesn't list that as an option. Did the signing get scrapped? I was looking forward to it.

Signed copies won't be listed until pre-orders go live.

You should be able to sell it for a pretty good price and then buy the Arrow Edition.

I'm not so sure.
I saw it in ebay, and the prices are lower than i bought it.
it's not a limited edition anymore, since there is a better Bluray out there.

klauswhereareyou · 10-22-2013, 04:45 PM

I'm assuming the 2 Sinbad films coming from TT should have good picture quality since they're coming from Sony and they seem provide better transfers than Fox who did The Fury. If anything if another disc comes out for the Sinbad films somewhere else, I would assume the picture quality would either be the same or worse.

klauswhereareyou · 10-22-2013, 04:49 PM

Can anybody vouch for the picture and audio quality of The Other? Most of the official reviews seem to be good.

No.

Oddly enough, Sony doesn't have a licensing deal in place with any label/company outside the US. Buy the TT's discs and never look back!

I didn't say you were going to get back what you paid for it but you should get pretty close which you can't say for all blu-rays.
