Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Shout Factory is taking its sweet time releasing the Nineteen Eighty Four Blu ray. It should have been released a week ago. And so far I haven't received so much as a confirmation.

Not really though. Paramount more or less just licensed the Criterion brand name for that release. That's why the blu-ray comes in a regular blue case and it can be found for

Man, I remember going through all those Panic Room extras. Very well done, and I like the movie well enough as a thriller. Haven't seen it in years, though.

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
I'll be buying this for sure but I have to be honest and say I'm more excited about finishing my Fincher collection than I am about owning Panic Room on Blu.
Even in the DVD days the crappy non-anamorphic bare-bones release of The Game made the Fincher collection seem incomplete. When Twilight Time gets this one out it'll be the first time his filmography is available on the current format with a consistent quality of presentation.

I have never had a problem ordering from SAE other than their shipping prices suck. Too spoiled by free shipping nowadays. Their customer service is fantastic. I have only had one or two problems with an order from them and they fixed it right away.
That's great about the $5 coupon though I am sure it will expire before their annual Twilight Time sale.

All I can say is, they need to release more Horror and obscure B films. These sell, even at TT's boutique level pricing. They're slamdunks for TT. Right now it seems they are dredging the bottom of the barrel. Or, are there simply no more horror and obscure / cult films for them to release?

I want more of those sort of titles on BD, too ,but not from TT. They put out many titles I want - Bronson stuff, '80s horror, westerns - but these films are worth $15, maybe $20 a pop. $35 each shipped? I'm fucking over that. It bums me out when I find out they've gotten a title I want.

I agree. I'm very bummed that they seemed to have ended up with Panic Room. One of my most wanted BD's to complete my Fincher collection.

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
In all seriousness I applaud TT for their business model. I only have 6 or 7 of their titles but I can easily rationalize dropping $35 when I remember that $5-10 Blu-rays easily outnumber the boutique label releases (and I'm including Criterion, Shout etc.) in my collection 5:1 if not 10:1.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that Sony will release Panic Room overseas (mainly Europe) and it will be region free. I'd just wait and import it when it's on sale. No need to buy from Twilight Time if you don't have to.
Edit: Or Sony can decide to release this in the US like Christine sells good enough.

I just imported that title from Amazon.de for $7. I also picked up Devil in a Blue Dress (region free) for the same price.

Did the OUS Fright Night have the same extras as the US TT release? Those features were pretty awesome and IMO made the TT up-charge worth it in that one case.
