Re: Twilight Time
I adored Rapture, I don't understand how it has been forgotten for so long. I'm not sure I'd call it a masterpiece but it's almost there. It's up on YouTube but I wish I just waited until I had Twilight Time's release.

Yeah, I know some people like to "preview" stuff on Youtube or Netflix instant before they buy a Blu or DVD, but I'm very much the opposite -- I want to hold out and see it for the first time in the best quality possible.Calvin wrote:It's up on YouTube but I wish I just waited until I had Twilight Time's release.

Re: Twilight Time
I guess the Robe Blu didn't sell so well if its sequel is getting the Twilight Time treatment-- I would have though the biblical crowd would have pushed this into the mainstream, but all bets are off post-Fright Night, eh? Delmer Daves' Blu-ray rebut is obviously something to celebrate, but all the same I will probably stick with my DVD that cost $4 new a couple months ago...eerik wrote:DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS (1954) BLU-RAY - March 8th

Re: Twilight Time
For the hesitant, I cannot recommend Swamp Water enough. That is a godawful and unrepresentative cover, though

Re: Twilight Time
Booklet cover is better. They should switch 'em.

I think The Southerner and This Land is Mine are very good, so I'm happy to see another Hollywood Renoir movie coming out.

Re: Twilight Time
My personal pick for Carradine's nadir is his floating head stock footage in Frankenstein Island. Swamp Water sounds like a cross between Deliverance and Tobacco Road. I'm so there.knives wrote:Just saying.CSM126 wrote:Sold.domino harvey wrote:John Carradine

Re: Twilight Time
At least Carradine will always be able to claim this masterpiece

Re: Twilight Time
That's a shame. I haven't ordered Rapture yet, but there was one for Fright Night, Picnic, and Mysterious Island, and I understand The Egyptian came with one too.eerik wrote:Rapture didn't have one, as far as I know.Jeff wrote:Forgot to mention they throw in a little lagniappe: fridge magnets of each of the Blu-ray covers!

Re: Twilight Time
FWIW, I just received Mysterious Island, The Egyptian, Rapture and The Roots of Heaven by post yesterday, and the only fridge magnet was for Mysterious Island.

Re: Twilight Time
Twilight Time revealed on their Facebook page that they have access to George Stevens' Only Game in Town with Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty and are debating whether they'll release it as they're not sure there's an audience. If you're partial, couldn't hurt to let them know. Also apparently they were sniffing around Cukor's the Blue Bird but the elements weren't good enough

Re: Twilight Time
I wonder if they've tried for The Lady from Shanghai, it's a Columbia title that I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony licence out.

Re: Twilight Time
^ Maybe, but they also mentioned on FB recently that they have to compete with the likes of Criterion for Sony titles, and Lady From Shanghai is awfully high profile for Twilight Time.
