Re: Twilight Time
What the fuck, the Last Detail? I assumed Criterion would be coming out with it eventually, especially given we've now had Shampoo confirmed. I'm on board with both Ashby's, begrudgingly.

Nice, now this is an update! All the above are worth a look, and I hope TT will be able to access the Roadshow version of Hawaii from the LaserdiscJohn Doe wrote:Just posted on HTF:

Re: Twilight Time
I think they implied that the re-issue of the Big Heat will be sourced from a 4K restoration, or am I mistaken? Nevertheless, I hope a UK label releases it because both TT and the French edition are quite expensive.

Re: Twilight Time
I guess I'll be getting the Hal Ashby's and The Big Heat. First TTs I'll have bought in over a year.

Not a chance The Big Heat will see a release over here in the UK, it unfortunately being a Sony title.perkizitore wrote:I think they implied that the re-issue of the Big Heat will be sourced from a 4K restoration, or am I mistaken?

Re: Twilight Time
It would be nice if they could get some actual film historians to talk about the Big Heat for a commentary track, like say any of the Noir experts Fox used for their line

I thought for sure Criterion was going to release The Last Detail. Too bad.

Re: Twilight Time
Surely they had the oppurtunity for Last Detail and passed? Why would they take Shampoo first? I can understand skipping over Bound for Glory as it's mostly only notable for its technical achievement and for being the duff note in the second-best year ever for Best Picture nominees but Last Detail is a bona fide classic of the era that I feel is starting to be a bit forgotten.
Way back in the first pages of the Arrow Boro thread when it was just a mystery box from a major underappreciated talent somebody mentioned the idea of a big & fancy Arrow boxset of Ashby's first several films (probably up to Being There, given the Warner thing). This will probably never happen (I even tweeted at Arrow a few months back to ask if there was any chance of any Ashby at all to a disappointing negative response) but I shall hold onto this dream.
I'm mostly upset that TT actually has a great set of releases for once which will cost me a ton come when pre-orders launch. There's no winning whenever they announce their releases.

Re: Twilight Time
They've already sold half of the 5,000 copies of John Carpenter's Vampires
JC's VAMPIRES are quickly returning to their coffins -- after 48 hours in the daylight approximately half their number are gone -- don't hesitate if this is a title on your to-get-list - stake one out for yourself today!

Re: Twilight Time
Devil in a Blue Dress looks pretty good. The picture is sharp. It has a certain amount of depth of field. Color separation is very good. But it's not a spectacular disc. I think that's partly because there is a lot of soft focus photography in the film. I don't remember the specifics of the cinematography from the time I saw it in the theater, so I'm having a hard time discerning what's a deliberate photographic effect in the film and what might be signs of age in the source material. There are some sunset scenes where the black shadow tones lighten to an orangish-brown. The sky often appears lightly blown-out in some scenes. There's a lot of of scenes that appear to be heavily backlit, or scenes that use very soft, naturalistic lighting. It makes it hard to discern if there are failings in the disc, or just subtelties of the cinematography. There are some unnatural–looking little halo effects around foreground figures from time to time. There are also intermittent pops and scratches in the picture.
Still, I'd put the quality of the disc on the higher end for Twilight time, somewhere between Mississippi Mermaid on the low end and House of Bamboo on the high end. It's probably a smidgen closer to Mississippi Mermaid than it is to House of Bamboo.

Re: Twilight Time
Someone asked MisterLime about Odds Against Tomorrow. It must be with Twilight Time, no?
its with another label and they're waiting for MGM to remaster it since they don't usually pay for transfers.

Re: Twilight Time
Redman had this to say about current films in the interview discussed four pages back, yet Twilight Time keeps releasing them:
the movies made today . . . are made to be disposed of as quickly as possible. They're not even designed to have any life at all, beyond their immediate life. They have the life cycle of a tsetse fly. They come out, they burn very brightly for five seconds and then they're gone.

Re: Twilight Time
Pretty sure he was talking about modern Hollywood studio films (in contrast to classic Hollywood films). Not that I necessarily agree (as old Hollywood made so many disposable films as part of the dream factory), but I don't think he was considering Harlock: Space Pirate or The Little House as part of that statement.

This seems like a better description of classic, pre TV/VHS/DVD Hollywood
