+180 Studio, looks like a record label (who released XTC's polarity-corrected edition of Skylarking this year on cd....not sure if they're also doing the blu-ray audio disc scheduled for 2016, but XTC's 1st blu ray was on Panegyric label). Also looks like the extra was dropped.

Would be nice if it means a dual-layered disc, but I won't hold my breath.

Wikipedia says that as of this past April the multi-track tapes for the album necessary for a surround mix had not been recovered.

Fedora -- seemingly no connection to the French play by Sardou turned into an Italian opera by Giordano. ;-}

What a major missed opportunity that they didn't license the Fiction Factory documentary like they did for the Fassbinder and Aldrich releases.

I've put links to additional reviews of our inaugural 3-D blu-ray release on the home page of our website at http://www.3dfilmarchive.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They include Robert A. Harris, Leonard Maltin, Glenn Erickson and Lou Lumenick. There's also an interview with Archive Technical Director Greg Kintz on the painstaking stereoscopic restoration process.

Thanks!

Coming to blu from Olive on December 23:

Appointment With Danger
Dark City
Rope of Sand
Union Station
Hurry Sundown
Skidoo
Such Good Friends

The first 4 of which were already available together in Olive's Film Noir Collection V.1.
The last 3 were in the Otto Preminger set, so really nothing new.

I wish they'd put out the "poor elements" films in budget DVDs at least. Better than circulating VHS rips!

Disappointing news for fans of low-budget Michigan-shot sci-fi cheese - according to posts in the Blu-Ray.com forum, Olive's Blu-Ray of Moontrap apparently uses the same uber-DNR'ed transfer as the notorious German release.

Come Back to the 5 & Dime at Blu-ray.com. Not sure a 20 min. interview justifies a $40 MSRP but I'm just glad to see this finally out.
