Twilight Time Discussion Thread

[Alex DeLarge]

Ordered both Sinbads and added THE DRIVER and JANE EYRE. Will they ship them all together? I've only ordered from TT once before and it was a single pre-order for THE OTHER. Which is an excellent film based on a very good novel.

How many copies left for Bell Book Candle and Picnic? Cart trick isn't working for me.

Oh... Dolt! I was looking at total cost which was $105. Not cost of items. Damn. Overseas shipping & all. They charged me for the extra postage to make it $107.35. And that was processed. And a confirmation email has all 4 titles included.

But you are probably right.. Damn...

Just got hope and saw the e-mail from earlier today about the pre-orders. Went and ordered the two Sinbad films.

Looks like 1,077.

How you guys getting the cart trick to work to see how many copies left? I was just curious to see how Jane Eyre is selling.

It doesn't always seem to work. I can't see how many BBC are left. Whereas I can see 1397 left for PICNIC. You add 3000 into cart. Update. But sometimes it works & sometimes not. Very odd.

It works for me reliably if you put the item in your wishlist. Then do the 3000, update thing. It looks like Jane Eyre is down to 1382.

FYI, cart count @ SAE this morning:

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1973) 1812
SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER (1977) 1915

WOW, that seems impressive to me for first day sales. It just confirms that the classic Sinbad films hold a special place for fans of these amazing Harryhausen-effect-filled adventure stories.

Are there any other Sinbad (or related) movies yet to be released on Blu-ray?

Not related, "One Million Years BC" starring Raquel Welch is on my want list. When I was a kid I was blow away by the pterodactyl that attacked sexy Raquel. Perhaps Twilight Time will consider it for BD release.

That's a little ahead of Body Double at this time in the preorder stage (at least going by the cart trick), and that sold out shortly before it's "release date," so it looks like these Sinbads will probably sell out in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner.

You have to factor in though that some stock is not accounted for because of the TCM store getting copies.

Didn't know that...oh well...still glad I got it

[iamnoone]

There's now a 2 per customer limit on both Sinbads.

This. It always works for me when it's in the wishlist unless it's a preorder, then sometimes not.

But it *is* related when you consider that the creature effects were done by Ray Harryhausen in this film too. (Also high on my want list).

If you are specifically asking about adventures of Sinbad, and I will assume you are referring to Ray Harryhausen films, the answer is there are only three movies. "Seventh Voyage" was released on Blu-ray by Sony/Columbia a number of years ago, and with the release of "Golden" and "Tiger," Ray Harryhausen's exploration of this character is complete. Sinbad the sailor has been featured in a number of live action and animated films by a number of studios over the years, but none of them has seen Blu-ray release. Now, if you are asking about additional Ray Harryhausen films that have yet to see Blu-ray release, the list that follows tells the tale:

Mighty Joe Young - Warner Bros
Beast From 20,000 Fathoms - Warner Bros
The Three Worlds of Gulliver - Sony/Columbia (good Twilight Time candidate)
First Men in the Moon - Sony/Columbia (apparently in TT's hopper for future release)
Valley of Gwangi - Warner Bros
One Million Years BC - 20th Century Fox (another good TT candidate)

All total, Mr. Harryhausen made 15 feature length movies (including "Mighty Joe Young" in which he served as pioneering stop motion animation legend Willis O'Brien's principal effects technician).

Hope this answers your questions.

Nice update on the Harryhausen movies yet to see Blu-ray. I have no doubt TT will jump on the three they can get their hands on (Gulliver/BC/Moon) because of how the ones they've released are selling/sold out. It would be bad business not to release those. It's Warner that I worry about. Although their Archives division has started releasing Blu-rays I still am nervous. It also doesn't help that two of my top three favorite Harryhausen movies are owned by them (Gwangi being my favorite). I wonder if they are taking notice of TT and the success they're having with Ray's movies.

I would love an uncut One Million Years B.C. on blu-ray!
