Did you pay with Paypal? At least that way you will get your money back.

Yes, I know that. Didn't use paypal, so If they go missing, nothing I can do.

Did this come with a slipcover?? (seeing one on eBay, that looks to have one)

Haha, that's what I intend to do. Well, wait a week then drown my sorrows!

[MyAbsolution]

Just got my copy this morning, Southern Ontario. So if anyone in Canada is still waiting, it will come!

Will watch it when I have some spare time from studies

[Seth F.]

Screen Archives has had two Twilight Times sales.

I should know I got titles from both sales. I think I still have the emails.

Last year was buy $100 dollars worth of Twilight Time get a free signed copy of Fright Night. I think they had like 25 or 50 of these.

Then this year they had for every $85 worth of Twilight Time blu-ray/dvd get a free Twilight Time dvd.


Also if you were one of the first to pre-order Journey to the Center Of The Earth you got a copy signed by PAT BOONE.

Man I should have paid for the premium shipping option But instead I paid for letter mail and still no sign of my copy her yet and im in Vancouver canada

[Jaay]

I live in calgary. I paid for premium and USPS just handed it over to Canada post and I had to go gt it from the post office.... Took 8 days from the time it left. Worst "express" I have ever got. I have ordered from Japan and had in less than 48 hrs...

[Jaay]

I am sure I am in the 1% here, but I like the dark sharp look of this version. I think it's an improvement.

[kdawq]

Finally recieved mine today, week and a half after everyone else, now, time to wait for Enemy Mine.

[junyab]

I initially came into the thread to see if people were still complaining about TT prices and the NOTLD transfer - glad to see everyone's convictions still in tact.

And with those prices im assured a great transfer THAT THEY DO THEMSELVES and amazing special features. With Twilight Time im assured a good tansfer (maybe) lossless sound and if im really really lucky a commentary track. and all of that for 35 bucks. and if it's a popular title I can't even wait until I have the paycheck for it. No I have to get it possibly now within a week of it coming out for pre-order.

Criterion is not a good comparison...they have been around for years and have a VERY established and VERY loyal customer base. A customer base that didn't happen overnight.

I commend them for their strict business model. It will assure them they can weather hard economic times, and will assure profitability for future
business ventures. Those are two very important details in starting a small company. Perhaps over time they can increase cash flow, and allow for more capital investment - both would benefit us, the customer.

I'm annoyed enough with TT that I'd rather just throw out the disc, eat the $50 and never buy anything from them again. I didn't buy this to flip it on Ebay, it was because I loved the movie. Such a disappointment, time to move on for me.

TT couldn't bother watching the movie they were selling, I blame them not Sony.

They watched it when Sony approached them with this title. The thing is they'd never seen the movie before. Which I can't blame them before. The movie made $6 million its entire theatrical run and I personally know only one other person who's seen it. And that's because I showed it to him.

Can you show me where this info was posted? I must have missed it

It very well might not, but that does not change the fact that is precisely the data stored on the disc. That is literally the frame that is on the disc, unless it was captured incorrectly (and by now it's crystal clear these screencaps, taken by multiple people all replicating an identical result, were not.). How it looks on your TV is down to how your specific TV is calibrated and how your own set of eyes perceive the image, but to somehow claim the screengrabs themselves are some elaborate conspiracy and aren't "accurate" is pure foolishness.

No, it's not. The screen caps differ wildly in quality and many do not reflect how the image appears on a television.

It's on their Facebook page. Back before this mess hit the fan, fans were asking about how the transfer looked and what TT thought of the film. TT responded they only saw the film after Sony approached them and they thought it looked great.

I'd post a screen grab from the Facebook page, but I'd have to go back through all of their posts. And it doesn't matter anyways, because people only respond to evidence that points towards extreme blue/black images.

There's no denying it's been darkened and given added blue. Load 00000.m2ts into Adobe Premiere CS6 or any other decent editing app and take a look at the color chart yourself. Then do a white balance correction using the eyedropper on any object that would normally be white such as the house. Bingo! Colors back to normal. Finally, adjust brightness. Unfortunately, the hue changes seem to vary from scene to scene so getting a truly accurate correction will take a little more work.

Oh man I saw this yesterdar, the scene when Ben shows up for the first time, until when he enters the house, is too damn dark!

When viewed on the same equipment as the blu-ray, by far the vast majority of full size screencaps posted here, or linked to here, absolutely do reflect how the image appears.
