I really think you'll find merit in it, and as said before, the film is essentially self contained with all information needed provided in exposition.

No, I haven’t gotten around to it yet….just not enough hours in the day it seems.

Great disc too, cheers to whomever of your colleagues is responsible for it.

Can you dig it………I said……Can you dig it?

Wherever there is injustice,
wrongs to be right,
innocents to be defended,
Penton-Man will be there
delivering an ass-whupping.

I will not hesitate to eliminate
any clown who comes around,
because if they want to the fight,
they better come see me

because I am Penton-Man (aka Towel-Man….SquidPuppet)!

Ill bring it with me next time I come out to LA, we'll take a long lunch Or alternately if you want to meet the raccoons I'm sure Bill'd be willing to host a screening on his setup, 10+ft high contrast screen

All I’m willing to reveal is that it is in the catolog lineup, so to speak, and will have its turn.

LoA is longer and more complicated (than Bridge which is by no means a technical walk-in-the-park project) and we are not rushing through it.There is already preliminary work that has been completed, but many months of work still lie ahead for LoA.

For those new members of Blu-ray.com who don't know what the hell Jeff is talking about in regards to Bill and unknowingly don't routinely follow the finer blogs in life (posted by Bill's better half, his wife). Here ya go.....

In all honesty I don't mind waiting, because I know it'd being done absolutely right.
In fact I've all but accepted that it won't be out until its 50th Anniversary.

By the way, any chance of any sort of hint when we can expect Kwai??
Presuming it won't make Fathers Day (one day before my birthday this year )

[horseflesh]

And yes, I dig it brother!!

Not soon.
The HD master hasn't even been produced yet.

Leon St. James for Anaconda Malt Liquor.......

Delectable combination of the finest products
This is the only malt liquor which contains
the seal of excellence from Uncle Sam himself

When you pop the top,
the panties come down!

Is that Anaconda malt liquor, the only malt liquor
to be approved by the United States government?

That's right, Anaconda malt liquor.....

Some historical fellow should look up the lyrics to this....

As I would gander a guess that many non-Brits were/are totally unaware of the words.

No problem, I can wait till Christmas (I have of other birthday/Fathers Day requests lined up anyway )

[Mr. Cinema]

Sounds like Bridge may not hit until next year, and LOA's 50th anniversary is in 2012.

I'm sure both will be amazing, but I want them now. 4 years has already been a long, painful wait. I do hope Sony tosses us Taxi Driver this year. I need more 70s flicks.

[Jeff Kleist]

Well Penton, please tell Paid and his crew to take as long as is financially feasible and necessary to get them right. I know that Warner's magic elves are going to do something amazing with Ben Hur, I expect your guys will do everything in their power to leave them in the dust (pun intended)

will be the next David Lean movie that SPHE releases on Blu-ray and has 4k restoration pedigree papers.

Awesome news!

OH BABY...

For other Lean fun, my dad's fav film is Great Escape, only cuz of the job that McQueen says he had before the war.

Remember what it was (he talks about it while he throws the ball against the wall...)?

Ah! Grover told me in Berlin that it would probably be next in line but back then he asked me not to post anything about it as it was just being talked about at the time. So I guess it is now a definitive go and I really hope we will get it this year
