Just thought I'd mention that both The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Fincher version) and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy are released tomorrow and are both plentiful in the special features department (commentaries on both!). I am a happy little girl.

Not only that, but Beatles releases of any sort are always a clusterfuck of legal red tape. And they're also very heavily advertised and create lots of buzz months before hand. I've heard no mention of this anywhere and if it was happening in May they would have been hyping it for months now. I'll only believe it when I'm holding the blu-ray in my hands. Here's to hoping that if it does happen, they don't gently caress it up and give the soundtrack a godawful remix.

Crossposting from ADTRW, but pre-orders for three Ghibli movies are up on amazon. Arrietty, Castle in the Sky, and Whisper of the heart. They don't have a release date yet, but product image and pricing are up. I honestly don't think it'll be later than May.

Amazon Goldbox deal right now is The Sound of Music 45th Anniversary boxed set for a ridiculous $25. I just got this less than a week ago for someone's birthday at the normal $60, so this stings a bit even though the timing simply wouldn't have worked. But it's a pretty sweet set. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I know the video and audio quality are both supposed to be phenomenal.

The packaging on the [US remake] Girl With The Dragon Tatoo blu -ray is complete poo poo. I don't mind the soft cover format but it's day one for the Canadian release and at the 3 major retailers I've been to every copy had the edges frayed, beat to poo poo or already visably tearing and wearing down while they look like overstacking has started to bend the main body of the cases.

Reminded me of the Criterion Videodrome case. Threw me for a second also. I opened it to look at the discs and underneath the special features disc I see a what looks like a bootleg disc. Upon further inspection, I noticed that it said DVD on it. That's what I call marketing. Dead Snoopy posted:The packaging on the [US remake] Girl With The Dragon Tatoo blu -ray is complete poo poo.

It was remixed for 5.1 for the 1998 re-release by Apple Corps, using the multitrack masters for songs and George Martin's score, plus the isolated dialogue and effects tracks. AHDN was just the restored mono mix pushed through faux stereo filters. Not sure why it even needs a 5.1 track since it's inappropriate to the feel of the film.

I know, I'm really hoping they'd have the mono mix included for Yellow Submarine. They're really just reusing the audio from the 1999 release? I would have figured they'd have an all new remaster. Especially considering all the original material they've unearthed in the last few years.

The Early Films of Stanley Kubrick - Fall 2012 It'll include Fear and Desire, as well as the shorts Day of the Fight, Flying Padre, and The Seafarers.

The 5.1 remix was state-of-the-art at the time, down to being edited digitally. They shouldn't have to re-do anything. The tech specs indicate the original mono mix is included and the remix is DTS 5.1. Although, I'm surprised it's not DTS-HDMA or PCM 5.1 unless the specs are incomplete.

I'm not positive though. But honestly you'd probably just want to get a PS3 and use something like PS3 Media Server program to stream them as it would be a cheaper solution. Either way, you should probably check the AV Arena forum for more feedback on that kind of thing.

In other "hell freeze over" news, it looks like Paramount moved the Republic Pictures library to Olive Films for distribution. http://www.imdb.com/company/co0128842/#distributor Probably should wait for an official announcement, but this should be great. Olive Films has been releasing tons of obscure Paramount films over the last few years. Important films like Johnny Guitar and Orson Welles' Macbeth haven't even had R1 releases yet.
