Are films hinted at in the New Years drawing ever re-hinted at in the newsletter clues?fdm wrote:I also almost typed last night that The Wild Child clue was much more likely for Macbeth.

Re: Twilight Time
Not frequently, but sometimes they are. The tannis root necklace from Rosemary's Baby showed up in a New Years drawing, and they later hinted at it again in a newsletter with a baby Rosemary sprig. Whether or not the figure with long hair in this year's New Years drawing was for Macbeth or The Wild Child (although consensus around here is that it was one of the witches), the figure was still wiping a "damned spot," which was also the subject of a later newsletter clue. So Macbeth was hinted twice.EddieLarkin wrote:Are films hinted at in the New Years drawing ever re-hinted at in the newsletter clues?fdm wrote:I also almost typed last night that The Wild Child clue was much more likely for Macbeth.

Oh yes, I forgot about the spot in the New Years drawing.

That Breaking Away cover is underwhelming.

Re: Twilight Time
The blu-ray.com review for Heaven & Earth is up- the reviewer gives it 4.5/5 PQ but if you look at the actual screencaps (at full res) there's severe jagged pixelation like I've never seen on a BD. At this price, it's completely appalling. And according to one poster on their forums, it's not just the caps- their copy of the disc shows the same thing.

Re: Twilight Time
Presumably it's an old transfer. Stone is ecstatic about the release and the PQ on his Facebook, so this is probably it for Heaven & Earth on home video.

Re: Twilight Time
So when the limited editions run out, are the rights lost? When can we see other studios release the titles that are out-of-print? Does anyone know how long Twilight Time licenced these out?

Re: Twilight Time
Each license is for three years. If the 3,000 copies sell out in one year, no new copies can be printed, and no one else can release the title until the three years are over.

Re: Twilight Time
Though as we've already seen with Fright Night (and for future release, a number of other OOP titles), "other studios" just ends up being Twilight Time again. So for some titles they'll have them for 6 years.

Re: Twilight Time
I watched it yesterday and I noticed this as well. It's obviously an older transfer, wouldn't be surprised if it was the one for the DVD. Disappointing to say the least.solaris72 wrote:The blu-ray.com review for Heaven & Earth is up- the reviewer gives it 4.5/5 PQ but if you look at the actual screencaps (at full res) there's severe jagged pixelation like I've never seen on a BD.

If they can renew once, they may well be able to renew again and again.EddieLarkin wrote:Though as we've already seen with Fright Night (and for future release, a number of other OOP titles), "other studios" just ends up being Twilight Time again. So for some titles they'll have them for 6 years.

Re: Twilight Time
The impression I get is that if a title sells out, TT will likely get another 3 years repeated indefinitely (why mess with something that works), and if the 3,000 don't sell, which let's face it is not a lot of copies, no one else will want to release it. Not taking into account, of course, you might have sold more releasing it cheaper and through wider channels, but whatevs. And in particular, it seems logical to use a sellout as indicating enough demand for a "real" release, but then the owners that license to TT are the ones that didn't want to be hassled with their catalog in the first place.

You'd think TT could get a better shill than Bruce Kimmel.

Going unusually fast, despite the 5000 copies and 1 copy per person limit that has been in place for some time now. The Blob took a lot longer than this despite it being its first and only pressing.Twilight Time wrote:Heads-up from SAE - fewer than 500 copies remaining of the FRIGHT NIGHT: 30th Anniversary Edition - these are moving very quickly - you have been warned! Happy New Year, everyone!

My god, that cover for Love and Death is disgusting. And to think that the old MGM cover was perfectly fine...
