    Dr Strangelove 40th Aniversary Edition...

    Well, what's weird is that in the 2nd Kubrick box, Warner remastered all of their films except for Eyes Wide Shut. Columbia's SE used the same old transfer as the old DVD they issued. Well, the war room scenes should have a lot of echo in the rear speakers. The airplane scenes should have...

    Dr Strangelove 40th Aniversary Edition...

    Also, not only is the new DVD 16x9 1.66:1... It'll be from the new restoration, based on Stanley Kubrick's own fine-grain positive made from the negative (basically, an excellent quality print made to resemble the negative as closely as possible). Even the previous "special edition" used an...

    Golden Collection 2 - Extras and Cover Art

    :eek: I'm pre-ordering this ASAP. I would buy it just for the 60 main cartoons, but the extras and details on remastering make it even sweeter. Unlike the first set, some of these reconstructed Blue Ribbon cartoons will be seen uncut for the first time ever. I'm excited about seeing the...

    Can you see Warner Brothers doing a Wartimes DVD set?

    I think it would be a great idea... especially since the Disney set was such a big success. Here's my idea for the set: Disc 1 - For Civilian Use Meet John Doughboy Rookie Revue Conrad the Sailor Wacky Blackouts The Draft Horse The Ducktators Ding Dog Daddy Confusions of a Nutzy...

    If You Could Design A DVD For A Show

    Gone with the Wind: 4-disc Special Edition

    Despite "Confederate Honey" being a Warner cartoon, Warner doesn't stick to same-studio "extras" "Hyde and Hare" was included on the Jekyll & Hyde double feature (1932 Paramount and 1941 MGM versions) DVD. "Acrobatty Bunny" was included with A Night in Casablanca (originally released through...

    G.A.C.!

    It's whitens your teeth, has half the fat of the leading brand, and even comes with its own sproogle.

    About the new Tom & Jerry DVD?

    There's considerably less T&J cartoons than Warner cartoons, so Warner probably has to arrange them differently. There are 160 classic 1940-1967 Tom & Jerry cartoons. There's 105 Hanna-Barbera classics, 13 by Gene Dietch, and 32 by Chuck Jones. All 160 will fit evenly on 4 2-disc sets...

    Slightly off-topic...Warners WILL make a bid for MGM

    There's some added stuff for home video rights... MGM currently has DVD rights to a lot of CanalPlus, Carlton, Polygram, and ABC Films titles. I agree that "The Hobbit" is the main reason why Warner wants MGM. They've made enough from the LOTR films and will make enough from The Hobbit to...

    Hypothetical 1950s WB question

    I think they would have been the best widescreen cartoons. After seeing how well 2.35:1 widescreen worked in the Back in Action movie, I wouldn't have been surprised if Jones, Freleng, and McKimson would have excelled in widescreen animation. Actually, if Warner switched to CinemaScope for...

    semi ot: cartoon violence effects

    This video is proof that there isn't life after drama club for everyone. It would be funny to do a parody of it using clips from Looney Tunes... showing kids bonking each other on the head with mallets, being electricuted, hair catching on fire, dressing up as indians, being blown up by TNT...
