Re: Your Avatar. Fresh rumors from the Home Theater forum seem to indicate that Paramount is getting reading to release both War and Peace and Funny Face to blu in 2013. Warner will distribute, it looks like. ++

Okay P@t, if you've received a shipping notice for Lost Horizon, and Arkadin already has Beloved Infidel in hand, then I guess that means the last title to arrive from the disc manufacturer this month must be The Blue Lagoon. I mean, just by process of elimination...I pre-ordered all 3 titles and have yet to receive any shipping notice.

With only 10 business days left until Christmas, it's getting mighty dicey for cross-border delivery before our post offices shut down. But I like your chances in the big M much better than mine out here in dogsled country.

No shipping notice for me, either. I ordered all three, also.

In Texas, you might even receive them before the 'Apocalypto'.

Mine will probably arrive just as power gradually is being restored after the global EMP blackout.

At least you will still have dogsleds. Stagecoaches disappeared around here long before I was born.

While watching the new Fox Blu-ray of Von Ryan's Express, I couldn't help but notice that our film vault geek emeritus, Nick Redman, was all over the supplements...including the commentary plus several of the featurettes.

One in particular focused on the career of Jerry Goldsmith, and in it, Redman cited a very early Goldsmith score for The Stripper, which, by no small coincidence was also a Fox title...adapted from a reknowned American author (William Inge)...by a future A-list director (Franklin Schaffner)...starring a respected silver era A-lister (Joanne Woodward)...featuring a rare screen appearance in a supporting role (Gypsy Rose Lee)...shot in 2.35:1 B&W 'Scope...which was never previously released OAR on DVD, only panned and scanned for VHS, and even that tape is now long out of print. Sound like a familiar profile?

I certainly wasn't born yesterday. So like I said, it's just one of those things that make you go "Hmmm..."

Too bad we wont see TT release any of Columbia/ Sonys Godzilla releases..
Just imagine how Godzilla would like in HD during the 1990s run against Ghidorah, Mothra etc and to have them in the OAR

That would be great, really enjoy both of those movie. I know War & Peace does not receive the same love as other epics of that time but I always felt it was a good movie with a very good cast.

My last order from them arrived within 8 days, so I am hoping for the same here, cause it's longer, will be falling in the holiday period and I fear might not receive it until 2013.

Just saw the review for Lost Horizon, a 3 for the movie is no surprise. Very happy with the rest however look's like a very good release

[Arkadin]

Funny Face has been out in France for months.
along with Sabrina.
why Paramount hasn't released them in the US yet is anyone's guess.

Not really sure why, does not seem very logical somehow

Blue Lagoon will be the first TT new release that will end up shipping AFTER street date. I haven't even gotten an email and I ususally get one just before they ship, which is usually a couple of days before street date. Not a big deal, I just think it's odd.

No it's not.

[Member-222782]

Why are Canadians so cranky? I meant TT's Blue Lagoon will be MY first title to ship after street date. FOR ME. ME, dude. Stop picking on me.

[HuggyBear73]

So is there a date for EXPERIMENT IN TERROR?

[chrisron]

Blue Lagoon has finally shipped!

I thought JMK's review of the film itself was very even-handed P@t, especially considering his admitted long term "obsession" with Lost Horizon '73. Typically, when hardcore fans review personal faves, their critical balance and perspective gets fuzzy, but I sensed none of that in Jeffrey's comments. And I learned a heckuva lot about the troubled history of this movie...certainly enough to realize that I've never seen it in its roadshow entirety, which alone warrants a more open mind going into my first viewing of this Blu-ray.

I never bother with the film sections of online reviews - if I want genuine critical analysis, I'll read an actual critic, like Denby, Lane, Kael, Rosenbaum, Taubin, Kenny, Sarris, one of the critics at Time Out, etc, to see if a film is likely to interest me. On BD and DVD sites, I skip directly to the A/V sections, especially with the reviews here - it helps keep my blood pressure down.
