Does anyone know if there was just a glitch in the SAE system, or have they discontinued taking PayPal credit permanently?

They must not be accepting it any longer as SAE isn't listed in the store directory.

This blu was my first time seeing the film.

The SUMMER LOVERS Blu is identical in content to every other iteration of the film that I've watched in the past.

Another U-Turn signing, this time by Oliver Stone....I sure didn't see that one coming

Very Strange indeed. I think it may mean two things. One, the 1st U-Turn signing wasn't very popular with a signature of a executive. Wonder how many complaints were made? I doubt 10 percent of those who purchased the signed blu ever heard of the guy. The second reason might be the sales of the Sean Penn/Oliver Stone film has really dropped off.

With the two latest Penn releases, more interest in U-Turn could increase sales for them. Now that U-Turn will have the Stone signature, people may just add State of Grace and At Close Range.

Is this the only time TT has offered a second signature for the same film? I'm sure those who have the first one will likely sell it off and get this one.

Tom Holland autographed the two different releases of Fright Night but, yes, I think this is the only time the same release has been signed twice. I suspect you're right that perhaps people weren't as enthused about Mike Medavoy's signature as they would an actor or director, but then Oliver Stone seems to really like Twilight Time to the point he specifically requested that they release Heaven and Earth, so maybe he volunteered to sign this one too and they really couldn't refuse such an offer.

I have the signed "Heaven and Earth" so I don't need 2 Stone autographs, gives Me a chance to build up my wish list for the next Autograph signing. Very nice of Oliver Stone to continue autographing His Movies for the Fans!!

Not the only time for the same film, but the only time for the same release. The original release of Journey to the Center of the Earth had copies signed by Pat Boone, the newer release by Diane Baker.

It's OAR 1.85:1, which technically IS letterboxed.

kind of a dumb question but I've never ordered a TT title before.

If you preorder a few weeks in advance does TT ship it to arrive by release date or does it usually arrive after? Thanks

Sometimes titles start shipping right before or on release date (unless they note any possible delays) Always plan that you will get it within a week of the release date.... otherwise you could be disappointed.

Their customer contact number is: 1-888-221-1161.

Thank you,

for some reason SAE did not put the Stone promo on the first page. It is at the link below.

U-Turn signing promo never showed up.

[jcs913]

They messed up, it's at the link I posted. It's 3/4 of the way down on the VIEW ALL page for Twilight Time.

I was refreshing for about 3 minutes and figured something was wrong. This is the first time SAE messed this up. It seems to not be wise to pre-order when they go live, especially when you can get a freebie. I think for the third month in a row, TT has done the promo the week after the pre-orders went live.

What's interesting is the link says you only need $119 for the promo, but I would trust what the SAE main page and what TT posted on their Facebook page..

[Dirk Pitt]

Was wondering what was up myself. After 5 minutes I typed the name U-Turn and it showed up. Very strange. Almost like they wanted people to look harder to find it.

My five were:

The Other
Breaking Away
The Fabulous Baker Boys
Places in the heart
La Bamba

[krasnoludek]

I'm happy about the goof because the promo had slipped my mind (even though I had reminders on my computer every two hours since early this morning) and I ended up sitting through a meeting from 4 to 5:30. When I got back to my office, the reminder popped up and I thought I was too late, but, no, there's still more than 50 signed copies left. Order placed. phew!

[rkolinski]

I forgot about the autographed U-Turn until just a few minutes ago and so I managed to get this as well as Brannigan, At Close Range, Fat City, Emperor of the Norh and The Wayward Bus.

[krasnoludek]

Still 45 copies remaining. This is going much slower than the previous two Oliver Stone signings. Too bad.
