Imprint

The price direct from Via Vision is only slightly lower. It's going to be comparable in size to two of Criterion's Godzilla sets

[Matt]

Reminds me of those Warner Bros. collectors sets we used to get about a decade ago with all the useless tat, but even those didn’t require the sale of a kidney or a second mortgage. This will sell out quickly though, my generation apparently has endlessly deep pockets when it comes to trying to recapture our “magical” childhoods.

[cdnchris]

Even if the movie had held up, that price would be insane. I'm also not a fan of Imprint and have felt ripped off at each one I have bought at regular price, so even if I suffered from nostalgia and felt the need to get it, $174 feels like WAY too big a risk to take on it.

I did buy some of their titles off of walmart.com (of all places) for about $7 each. That was definitely the right price point for them.

I'm slightly tempted by Priscilla, but that one has to get picked up by someone over here, right??

Did not learn until reading the new Blu-ray.com review that Imprint’s release of the Long Voyage Home from last year has a new visual essay from Tag Gallagher

[Peacock]

If I remember right it’s not a new visual essay by any means, but it’s still nice to have it on disc! Thanks for reminding me I need to pick this one up.

[Maltic]

Gallagher made it (and much of his other work) available for download years ago on his blog.

Still a fine disc.

[Matt]

Well, if you thought the Neverending Story release was ridiculous:

Dark Sky’s $300 50th anniversary UHD/BD/VHS edition of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre comes in a replica chainsaw.

More like the Aussie Wallet Massacre

The Soul of Black Charley (1973)

Legend and Soul of who now?

[dwk]

Woke.

[ianthemovie]

Meanwhile they're putting out Last Tango in Paris, and with a full set of special features no less (the first time this title has ever had anything other than a bare-bones release). I look forward to throwing away my copy of the MGM Blu-ray.

[domino harvey]

Who has the rights in Australia? The US release was via Fox

[ryannichols7]

this label is clearly the one that cares the least about getting cancelled. if only they had enough care to actually restore Knife in the Water or something

also A Dry White Season has now come out from three separate boutique labels

[domino harvey]

Imprint has always had surprisingly robust supplements— they doled out for TWO commentaries for A Countess from Hong Kong, including one from Jeffrey Vance who also did Criterion’s Chaplin tracks, plus new interviews with participants. For a movie no one but contrarians even pretends to like, buried in a limited edition box set (the previous Brando box). I don’t know how they can possibly afford it, even at their prices, but they’re doing it

Will it be a newer master than the MGM blu-ray?

MGM. The US release was Fox was because they handled MGM’s home video output from the late 00s up until the buyout.

Last Tango in Paris[/i], and with a full set of special features no less (the first time this title has ever had anything other than a bare-bones release).

This is true for English-friendly editions only. In Italy they for a while had 2-DVD set with the 2nd disc full of extras. I purchased it decades ago assuming there would be English subs, but appeared to be wrong. Now in Italy there is a BD with some extras. At this time you cannot make same mistake - the back of the package clearly says there are no English subs

Imprint will also be releasing an early Hitchcock box

[MichaelB]

Now confirmed as containing the nine surviving silent films - i.e. not including the sound version of Blackmail.

In other words, while there's a hefty overlap with StudioCanal's upcoming Hitchcock box, each has unique titles - The Pleasure Garden, The Lodger, Downhill and Easy Virtue in the case of the Imprint box, and the sound version of Blackmail, Juno and the Paycock, Murder!, The Skin Game, Rich and Strange and Number Seventeen in the StudioCanal box.

Titles common to both are The Ring, The Farmer's Wife, Champagne, The Manxman and the silent Blackmail, and in both cases the sources should be the BFI restorations, although I don't know about scores or commentaries in the Imprint set.

Academy Museum of Motion Pictures: Q&A with Nancy Kwan

But I can’t figure out why, since Nancy Kwan is not in this film. Does anyone know?

[brundlefly]

The Q&A is on YouTube.

"Before the screening [a double-feature of Walk Like a Dragon (1960) and Enter the Dragon (1973)], Dong interviewed actor Nancy Kwan about her personal and professional relationship with Shigeta and Lee. Kwan discussed the ambitions of both men as well as the challenges they faced securing roles in an industry that had limited opportunities for Asian American men."

Interesting, thanks!

I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is Alfred Hitchcock Presents is coming! The bad news is it’s the 80s revival and DVD only

I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is Alfred Hitchcock Presents is coming! The bad news is it’s the 80s revival and DVD only

I’m curious to revisit it. Some very strong episodes, such as Steve de Jarnatt’s Roald Dahl adaptation “Man From the South” starring John Huston, and Tim Burton’s “The Jar” with Griffin Dunne and Paul Bartel (as an asshole director!)
