Looked like "The Furm" to me.

Re: Twilight Time
They apparently confirmed on f******k that Christine will have all the DVD extras carried over, which is much appreciated.
I actually like the cover for The Fury, font included - though it could maybe do without the digital lens flare. The world can always do without fake lens flares.

Re: Twilight Time
I'm not sure that you're aware of this David, but SAE are also an Amazon UK marketplace seller - Amz UK has the safe buying gurantee. Only trouble is - they're only selling some of the earlier releases and not the more recent ones like Enemy Mine and the Flints; the most recent one is the Big Heat, I think.david hare wrote:Yeah, I realize it's a complete con, but I was one of many people here who got badly burnt years ago by orders that never arrived from DeepDiscountDVD. A friend of mine reckons he lost a fortune in disputed non arrivals from these people.
I just wish someone else sold their damn titles.

Re: Twilight Time
I'd hoped that rumors of a totally revived Fox Studio Classics line were true and that Fox would be handling Blu releases of titles like Song of Bernadette and Leave Her to Heaven themselves. Due to budget constraints, I'll just wait several more months to see if Region B releases come out.

That will never out-rubbish the cover art for The Furmnm, but its still pretty dull.

Re: Twilight Time
Hoping it's Body Double as Obsession and Phantom... are already out on blu and Casualties... is likely to get a release at some point.

Re: Christine (1983)
Preorders for Christine started today and it looks like SAE may sell out all 3000 copies in one day.
They had a ten copy limit per individual when I ordered.
UPDATE: it was just changed to a two copy limit for Christine.

Re: Twilight Time
I haven't bought any of Twilight Time's releases yet because of the ridiculous price (tempted by Swamp Water), but I'd order a bluie of Body Double in a heartbeat. One of De Palma's finest films, in the same league as the three masterpieces directly preceding it.Graham wrote:Hoping it's Body Double as Obsession and Phantom... are already out on blu and Casualties... is likely to get a release at some point.

Re: Twilight Time
I ordered Christine and The Big Heat, which are the only two films they've released so far that I feel inclined to own (and it took a year after seeing The Big Heat and wanting to watch it again to come to that conclusion).
I'll definitely be getting The Driver when it goes up for order.
I also ordered a copy of Bell Book and Candle for a friend of mine who is a huge Jimmy Stewart fan.

Re: Twilight Time
sorry, but I'm not familiar with fessebook...
since I've ordered several T.Time title, I'm a subscriber to their mailing list and receive their emails...
do we already know what will be the pre-order day for :
- Leave Her To Heaven ???
- The Driver
I... Gene Tierney and would be if I miss this title...
I've checked ebay, there's a lot of Christine T.T (it's """funny""" that they are selling around $ 100 a title in pre-order status on ebay (which, could be for instance delayed or canceled by T.T), most of the reseller are "pro" resellers.

Re: Twilight Time
I will say if there is one film to buy from these gougers Rapture's it. Just beyond amazing.

Re: Twilight Time
And one of the few truly worth the price tag, if you ask me. The Blu-ray is after all it's very first home video incarnation, a film I imagine practically no one had even heard of or remembered until the director asked TT to dig it up. The other lost and forgotten titles (Wayward Bus, Sound and the Fury) are generally middling affairs, but Rapture could easily have earned a place in the Criterion or MoC catalog if it was more well known. As it is, I don't think TT will be able to sell all copies of Rapture within their 3 year contract period and they no doubt knew this going in, so that at least is a testament to this partly being a labour of love, rather than a soulless cash grab.

RAPTURE's brilliant. Yes, could easily have been a Criterion/MoC/BFI.

Re: Twilight Time
Well I bought it, so you all win. For those of you that like ordering from Amazon (I use their 6 months interest free credit card for the cash back promotion(s) whenever I can), Twilight Time sells this title (among others I suppose!) through Amazon Marketplace for right around the same price including shipping as their website. Actually I think it ended up a few cents cheaper overall. Thanks for bringing this film to my attention, most exciting blind buy in a while!

Re: Twilight Time
FYI:
For what it's worth, Twilight Time will be releasing a 1950s 3-D film in early 2014.
Apparently this is a Sony title, and believed to be either Miss Sadie Thompson or The Mad Magician.

Re: Twilight Time
Add my voice to the chorus of those praising Rapture: it's a major rediscovery. Astounding to think that a major studio released this in 1965. Though the TT transfer is excellent, I wish that Criterion had released it: it cries out for contextualization, and two paragraphs on the film's production and release in a short essay that otherwise consists of plot summary liberally sprinkled with superlatives (performances are "immaculately judged," frames are "perfectly composed," the scarecrow is "superb") is simply insufficient. The author of the essay makes mention of Patricia Gozzi's current workplace - how nice it would have been to hear Gozzi comment on the film 40 years on? Yes, I know, BUSINESS MODEL, etc. That doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Re: Twilight Time
So very great it is to read praise for Rapture! For some reason I thought I was the only person on this forum who'd seen it. Out of over 200 movies I watched in 2011, this was the very-very greatest of them, and easily one of my top 20 from the 1960s. Just an amazing film, with Patricia Gozzi giving what has become one of my favorite film performances (equal to her work in my all-time favorite film, Sundays and Cybele). I will certainly make this a spotlight title (alongside Sundays and Cybele) in the forum's 1960s thread when I have the time to write about both films. I also agree that there are many stones unturned in regards to researching and analyzing this film outside of Kirgo's (rather limited in scope) essay on the blu.

Re: Twilight Time
Another TT title--Philadelphia, due in May--is getting a German release from Sony on June 13th. Not that I think it's in much demand around these parts, but this is the third Sony-licensed title to get a German release from Sony themselves (after The Blue Lagoon and As Good as It Gets) and in this case it was announced well before the TT edition came out. The Fisher King (released in the U.S. by Image) and On the Waterfront are also due out on the same day.

Re: Twilight Time
Wow wow wow. Thanks to everyone for the Rapture recommendation. One of the better films I've seen, period. It's such a fully realized artistic vision that, while I agree with Matt, really stands on its own despite its obscurity. If it ever passed across Criterion's desk and they passed, they should be embarrassed.
