[NABOB OF NOWHERE]

Seriously, this is probably the worst message board on the internet to come to with an anti-Jerry Lewis comment

Are there really so many french people here?

Next let's talk about how women always take so long to get ready

[Cash Flagg]

Take care and get a woman worth waiting for.

More for September:

Ambush at Cimarron Pass: hideous, obviously

Guest Wife: I like the way the designer shaved off the bottom of Colbert's hair to make room for the phone cord loop.

[zedz]

"I'm trying to look like Russell Crowe!"

"I'm trying to look like Barbara Stanwyck!"

"Even though I look nothing like him, I actually am Clint Eastwood!"

I think Richard Foran is trying to Scanners her

But he missed and only exploded the bottom of her mullet.

[matrixschmatrix]

Turns out her hair was made of telephone wire and question marks all along

[domino harvey]

Hey I'm really looking forward to Great Wife

Seriously, this is probably the worst message board on the internet to come to with an anti-Jerry Lewis comment

I guess its just me...or maybe attributable to my Aspergers, but even the thought of hearing Jerry Lewis' voice gives me a migraine, let alone actually trying to sit through a movie with him in it....so for me it's not the quality of his film's per se, just the fact that he's in it.

If you want to see if you find him funny without having to hear his Jerry Lewis voice, check out the great, plotless The Bellboy.

It's only been recently that his voice annoys me when he starts talking, about leave comedy to the men and some other things.

Is Robert Siodmak's Someone to Remember still part of the Republic library?

[Zot!]

There was a local "morning zoo" DJ who had a guy who did a killer Jerry Lewis impersonation. There were real great bits where they would call for instance Bruce Willis in his Cannes hotel room and try to get him to be part of Jerry's "comeback" picture. The great part being that even after Bruce realizes that it's a put-on he still plays along instead of hanging up.

If I had to snap come up with 5 movies I'm genuinely angry I saw, this would make the list. So it's not just the voice. Jerry's just a room divider, which may speak quite well of him.

Big Combo on September 24!!!

[domino harvey]

What aspect ratio will it be in?

[Ashirg]

Not sure about Aspect Ratio, but here is what MisterLime says about the transfer:

Restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive in association with the Film Foundation. Restoration funding provided by The Film Foundation.
Newly re-mastered in HD by Olive Films and Ignite Films.

[mteller]

That's a must-buy. Way better than the Alpha cover.

Lest we forget the height of that particular aesthetic hurdle:

[Gregory]

You can tell it's a classic era noir because back then the tough guys really knew how to pull off a completely pink and purple suit/shirt/tie combination.

[domino harvey]

I'm still irrationally upset that knives thought Alpha was right to put Lee Van Cleef's name on a noir film's cover rather than Richard Conte

If John Alton filmed a Tashlin movie conceptual art

[EddieLarkin]

The Big Combo will be 1.78:1
This is correct for The Big Combo (well, almost).

Excited to see what it looks like if it uses a UCLA resto and is a new master, though RAH recently said that their release of The Enforcer was from dupe elements, despite Olive's claim it used a UCLA resto too (which RAH believes would have been from original elements).

RAH on The Enforcer

Similar things were said about McLintock:

RAH on McLintock

Though in that case there are caps showing how vastly superior the HD broadcast version is compared to the Blu-ray.

Fingers crossed.

[Props55]

Can someone please explain why in all these cases the most recent, fully funded, immaculately conceived and professionally executed restorations are not used to create the currently released discs? Is it really that no one . . . rights holder, licensee, disc producer wants to pony up for a new transfer?
