Any chance Universal will give Touch of Evil a decent treatment? I assume we can't expect six different cuts?

Universal's responsible for all the features on MoC's box set in the first place, I assume if they were to put it on blu they'd just upgrade the DVD set that's out now (with those same features and three different cuts but not the 1:33 aspect ratio.) Or maybe they'd just release a barebones copy of the reconstructed cut.

I thought Touch of Evil was listed as getting a DVD-only re-release in the new year for some reason.

Also, if you're a fan of the movie on Facebook, perhaps you've noticed that whomever moderates it posts random quotes from the movie on a monthly basis or so. The Citizen Kane page got activity when it was about to be re-released...fwiw

Hold up, is that the Thomas Clay in the poll there?

(It's thankfully not that Thomas Friedman.)

Best cover pick... gag me.

As Drucker pointed out, Universal's presentation of TOUCH OF EVIL for 2012 appears to be a single DVD issue (plus digital copy!) of the reconstructed cut with the "100th Anniversary" logo on the packaging. I hope they at least used the 2008 transfer in place of the 1999 one. Absurdly, the press release states that this reissue will present the film "complete and uncut with restored footage for the first time ever!"

Folks not following Tooze on Facebook will be delighted to learn that he is posting InfoWars links... fits like a glove somehow.

They're running a film contest, probably someone he knows entered. $100,000 first prize.
