WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Can't Warner Brothers just issue this thing through their "burn-on-demand" program and get it over with? What are they waiting for? A future deluxe release? Well, based on the treatment they gave The Ambersons on DVD I they have any special plans for it. What is the holdup?

There exists a December 1946 cutting continuity for THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI

Roger,

Is there a place where a person such as myself could view said cutting continuity?

Okay, got it today. Definitely an upgrade in picture in sound compared to my former copy. Not state-of-the-art, but very watchable! Worth the $17.99, even for a DVD-R. It will do until a truly restored DVD/Blu-ray is released.

Aww, hell, I went ahead and ordered it. Can't be any worse than my "Korean import".

Has anyone tried this "burn on demand" job from AMazon?

I am new to the world of Blu-Ray and like the Blu-Ray/DVD combo packs for titles I don't already have on DVD. The Blu-Ray machine is in the living room with the "good" HDTV, while downstairs (where I spend most of my time), we have a "not as good" 480i TV, and a DVD player to pai...

When?!??WhEN?!??!?!? WHEN?!?!!?!? WHEN?!?!?!?!??!!? AHGHHGHGGHGHGHGHGHGHGH!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest.

I received my DVD from Amazon yesterday and started viewing it last night. I gave the documentary a brief glance and then went straight to the Rick, Chuck and Janet commentary. It's terrific. I'm picking up where I left off when I get home tonight. So much to explore.

I saw the set at my local FYE tonight, put out a few days early. My copy has been shipped by Amazon, so I must wait patiently for it to arrive.

My Don Quixote DVD came today. It's the first time I've gotten to see it. While I certainly don't mind seeing rare footage shot by Mr. Welles, I see that the general consensus regarding this project was right on the money. It's a baffling and unpleasant juxtaposition of all sorts of sights and sound...

I enjoyed watching that very much. Thanks.

That's good enough for me! Uncut Ambersons, here we come!!

This set looks terrfic! Very good news! I'm very excited! Touch and Don Quixote in October! Christmas comes early!

Please do. I had seen that review on Amazon and have been quietly curious. My current DVD with the non-removable Asian subtitles is not entirely a letdown, but I'm still certainly on the prowl for an upgrade.
