AnimEigo's Kickstarter stuff has all been native HD content so far, minus the aforementioned live-action bits from Otaku no Video, but even those are actually upscaled. Discotek, however, has released a couple of SD-on-BD discs and has several more on the way. They're still a pretty small label though, so it's still probably easy for them to fly under the radar, assuming that rule is even in effect still.

Does the Twin Peaks Blu have the standard definition inserts? I’ve been watching it on Netflix and it switches to bad quality video any time an effect comes up. More obvious when it’s between shots clearly remastered from film. Did they re-do them for the Blu?

I remember when the DVDs were first released, it they didn't include the first episode due to rights issues. The company that had the rights wouldn't even release it on DVD. I just had to burn myself a copy of the episode.

FYI there is an international version of the Twin Peaks Blu Ray set that you can get around $30 in the US on Amazon. It's repackaged into a standard case, which is a shame because the original packaging was pretty neat. But hey, it's way way cheaper. I don't know about the effects shots because I haven't watched the episodes yet. If you could point me to a scene I'll check it out.

I've noticed it mainly when they were doing effects that were mastered on video. The only other time I noticed it was one specific shot in the middle of an episode (with Audrey in the Library with Windom Earle, and best I could guess is that the original film was lost forever/irreparably damaged and just did the best they could.

the effects were done in SD and nobody has yet gone back to re-do them Next Generation style which is fine honestly

I figured they either couldn't sufficiently re-create shots in HD or the source film was missing. It's random, though. There's shots that simply have the speed slowed down that are video-based, while other slowed-down shots from film. There's one significant CGI shot in an episode that seems to be re-done in HD, while shots that just used mattes and multiple exposures were upscaled. More reason to be happy that video-based editing of shot-on-film shows didn't come sooner. StudioCanal UK is releasing two box sets. One for Luis Bunuel films and another for Jean-Pierre Melville. The Bunuel set includes Diary of a Chambermaid, Belle de Jour (new 4K restoration), The Milky Way, Tristana, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Phantom of Liberty, and That Obscure Object of Desire. While there's US Blu-rays for Belle de Jour (Criterion) and Tristana (Cohen), the rest were released by Criterion DVD, but have been long OOP. Coming out Oct. 23 The Melville set has Bob le Flambeur, Leon Morin: Priest, Army of Shadows, Le cercle rouge, and Un flic. Criterion's Blus of Leon Morin, Army, and Rouge are all OOP. Coming out Dec 6. Each set is about $90 USD on Amazon UK right now, which is a steal considering the OOP Criterions are going for that much each.

Considering how intentionally lo-fi the effects get during The Return, would anyone want to go back and re-do the effects in the original Peaks, though? Pre-orders for the 40th anniversary Suspiria steel book just went up! Two BDs, one soundtrack CD. About $50. No release date other than "November." http://synapse-films.com/dvds/suspiria-40th-anniversary-limited-edition-steelbook/  quote:Features caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Aug 25, 2017 |

I don't know if anyone else was following this, but German company Cinespectral was planning on releasing limited sets for Elvira Mistress of the Dark and Hell Comes to Frog Town. Unfortunately, a series of mishaps has led to the sets to be delayed indefinitely. They mentioned that some other German company may pick up the slack, but right now it doesn't look too good.

Has anyone seen the Suspiria print yet? It's a fair chunk of change to drop on a film that's had some iffy releases before. Isn't there a new 35mm print that was discovered since work started on this too? I hope it's great, it's a stunning looking film.

The Synapse transfer for Suspiria is from the original Italian negative. Speaking of, it looks like Synapse is doing some 4K screenings of their restoration.

I want to say they were limited to 2,500 or 5,000 copies each. But sometimes it's hard to tell what's going to be a limited release and what's only going to have a limited slipcover until the page is up.

Amazon has an insane price on Severin's disc for The Killing of America, $8.59: https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Amer...ling+of+america I already have this and highly recommend it. On the surface you'd think it is just another exploitative sleazy mondo documentary, but it's actually a really powerful and sad piece about gun violence in America. Worth your time, especially at that price.
