My UK Steelbook has made it as far as Kentucky, which means I should have it in my hands on Friday. I can hardly wait to watch this after work on Friday!

My copy left NJ early this morning. Estimated delivery to CT (less than an hour drive from where it was in NJ) is Aug 17. Yesterday it said Aug 19.

Mr. Salty

In my experience the estimated delivery date is always several days later than it actually arrives.

Quick question: Is Lamb to the Slaughter also in HD?

K.O.P.

Alas, no.

biglou114

That's really, really disappointing.

I'm watching this now and I'm very impressed. I think this is a new reference quality disc for older black & white movies.

The package includes a Criterion-esque booklet with notes and pictures. And it plays perfectly on a US Playstation 3.

If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer.

Robert

What kind of packaging is it?

PopcornTreeCt

I ordered the Steelbook version.

So have we confirmed that only the steelbook has the booklet? That would make my decision for me.

Solid Snake

...if you read the DVDbeaver review..it says it right there. So.....yes..yes, it does have it.

Minor gripe about the Steelbook: Uhm...is it me or does it look a bit weird? The cover of it? as if the actress and the background are given a different physical definition? Something about it....bothers me. Anyone else see it?

It looks like they kept the brightness and contrast of Leigh but changed the tile to make it more noticeable. It also looks like they are using a different background altogether.

Solid Snake

Yeah....that's what it is. The pictures we've seen of it didn't look like this...not a deal breaker..just annoying cover art design to me. Again..it's what's on the BD not the package that matters.

PopcornTreeCt

The packaging looks a little better in real life.

Solid Snake

something that an actual photo of the product doesn't show well? I'm getting it regardless...

PopcornTreeCt

Actually, I checked it again and it's more obvious that Leigh is much more pronounced in the foreground.

I don't see why it would be a big deal. I think it looks better.

Just to be clear, the UK steelbook has everything the US edition will have?

Solid Snake

No. The US one won't have the booklet. as FAR AS I KNOW....

GreenVulture

If The Beatles had stayed together after making Abbey Road instead of breaking up, what do you think their next album would have sounded like?

Gizmo

It looks like they cut her face out of a magazine and tapes it to the cover. It just does not blend well with the background.

Bleddyn Williams

Like the UK Steelbook of Green Zone, Janet and the background are printed in a special way, so that when the book catches the light one way she's silver, and the other way a bit pink. It makes her stand out from the background, and is pretty effective.

In real life, this is a pretty nice cover.

Solid Snake

Ok..it's just an effect that doesn't project well from a photo in that case. I guess that's cool.

Does anyone know why the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode, "Lamb to the Slaughter" is included here? I watching this thinking it may have some relationship to Psycho, but can find none. Except the obvious of course, but that could be said for any episode of the series.

Did they just throw a random episode on here or is there some reason for this?

zombeaner

It is Hitch's favorite episode, and one of the relatively few he directed

Solid Snake

Just ordered the UK Steelbook....I'm getting it somewhere between Sept. 3-9...yay me.
