One of us! One of us! [Reactions to Warner Bros chat]
The transcript of the chat with Warner Brothers, which gave us information about the upcoming A Christmas Story SE, has given me a few more things to be excited about.
- Freaks in 2004
- Marx Brothers A Day At The Races, A Night At The Opera, and more
- More The Thin Man movies (but no box set planned)
- Continued use of snappers for single disc releases
- SEs of Batman and Batman Returns won't come out until new Batman theatrical releases and we know what a mess that is
- Blade Runner SE still in a legal quagmire, but they're still working on it

What are you looking forward to from this transcript?
Treasure Of Sierra Madre 2 disc set (sept)
Adventures Of Robin Hood 2 disc set (sept)
Casablanca anniversary edition (sept)
more Thin Man films (i think these will be coming out rather slowly though since they nixed the idea of a boxed set, i'll bet they'll be coming at the rate of about 1 every year- hope i'm wrong)
The Libeled Lady
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Beast From 20000 Fathoms (oct)
Valley Of The Gawangi (oct)
Captain Blood (i'm assuming this will definitely be part of the Flynn promotion in 4th quarter '04)
Swing Time (mentioned in a previous chat and known to be undergoing restoration)
King Kong (ditto)
A Christmas Story SE
The Sea Wolf
The Val Lewton RKO's

Warner needs to REALLY pick up the pace. This is a step in the right direction, but they have SO MANY films in their vault they should be releasing 20-30 titles a month.
and WHERE ARE MORE MGM MUSICALS!!!!!!

I am VERY disappointed about Batman: SE not coming for what appears to be a long time.
Also, I really want Goodfellas and Blade Runner SE's.
I do look forward to an OAR of Christmas Vacation.
I wish I could have asked about an OAR of Arthur and a Heat:SE.

Well it's great that they are finally working on some new stuff.
Thumbs down to snappers though.
Also, why do they keep neglecting the first two Batman movies? We have heard nothing but rumors about them for the last four years! They know the demand is there.

Plus, "61st Anniversary Edition" just isn't as catchy.

Why is everyone so excited about the "60th Anniversary Edition" - that's not a very descriptive title? This could be simply a re-tread of the previous release.
Me, I'm not going to buy Casablanca until it's available in 16x9 anamorphic widescreen.
NO 16:9, no sale.

Does anyone know exactly was cut from Freaks when released?
Said to have been originally around 90mn..but the studios got cold feet after some peoples reactions,that they cut it down to 64mn!
If the footage exists..i would love to see this restored!
Also anychance of Warner actually releasing The Devils uncut?
They were very vague in the chat. Yet it could mean good news since the person asked for a uncut release..& they replied "Thats a possibility..though no release date is set at the moment". At least i hope they would actually go through with it.
I'm very happy about the uncut Tom & Jerry news..+ The Loony Tunes should be uncut as well.
Then their's plenty of other titles i'm looking forward to.
Now if only i were rich. Since next year..as well as this will break my bank if i buy all the titles i want(which is overwhelming this year & next!). Hmm better start saving everything i can,hehe

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT
One of my very favorite movies. I cannot wait. Seems that several of my favorites are finally coming to DVD.

I'm just disappointed about the lack of progress on the Scorsese movies. I don't care about any of the other ones (I will upgrade Goodfellas, but I can live with the current version) but I want After Hours now, dammit!
