Twilight Time

Longtime forum reader and collector, this is my first post.

I was wondering, considering subsequent foreign releases which affect the price of OOP titles, what are the most sought-after OOP Twilight Time Blu-rays?

People are still paying a lot for Fright Night even though there’s a fine Eureka release. La Bamba and 1984 recently fetched the prices as high as $70 on eBay.

I can’t say for sure if Fright Night is just an anomaly but it does seem like availability of region B release hasn’t impacted sale prices too hard.

It seems like common sense to invest in a region free player.

Of course in the case of Fright Night, the Eureka release is region free. So there is no excuse for anyone to pay for the OOP TT release.

The TT has exclusive commentaries...

...which came from free online mp3s

Are any screenshots/comparisons for Model Shop available anywhere yet? I'd really like to have it on Blu but given TT's spotty history I've been waiting to pull the trigger. Figured they'd be out by now.

I know we can't always assume a Sony TT title will come from Indicator, but even a lesser Demy like this seems inevitable

#3033 Post by **swo17** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:41 pm

And MichaelB has suggested that foreign films/directors generally aren't Indicator's MO, but this would obviously be an exception like The Passenger.

Ribs · #3034 Post by **Ribs** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:43 pm

I don't think that MichaelB said that foreign directors were necessarily a no-no - it's just foreign language. And I think he indicated that the Passenger was the only even remotely borderline case on that front that Indicator has on its slate as of a few months ago.

MichaelB · #3035 Post by **MichaelB** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:45 pm

Most of the Indicator catalogue is foreign to me!

But yes, there are currently no plans to distribute anything not primarily in English.

(For what it’s worth, I don’t regard The Passenger as an exception - it may be a French/Italian/whatever co-production, but it’s an English language film starring Jack Nicholson.)

Unless I'm misremembering, isn't Model Shop in English?

#3037 Post by **swo17** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:50 pm

I...didn't word my last post very well. I simply meant that, yes, Indicator isn't going to release an Antonioni film or a Demy film unless it's one of the few films they made in English, in which case it might be considered an "exception" for one of those directors.

And yes, Model Shop is in English.

THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI (2008) BLU-RAY - July 17th

GENGHIS KHAN (1965) BLU-RAY - July 17th

CINDERELLA LIBERTY (1973) BLU-RAY - July 17th

THE REVOLT OF MAMIE STOVER (1956) BLU-RAY - July 17th

Genghis Khan on Blu-ray, Jesus Christ, is TT that desperate to release something?

Twilight Time rides in!

Why? is that bad of a film?
I'm sure many will be happy.

Big Ben · #3042 Post by **Big Ben** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:11 pm

I will confess that I would rather see Omar Sharif in the role of Genghis Khan than John Wayne.

Yes, it is that bad of a film. Anyone happy about this is a moron.

Is it worse than The Conqueror though? You make this sound like something I could gift to someone I hated.

#3045 Post by **domino harvey** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:25 pm

Let me put it this way: Halfway through the movie, James Mason shows up sporting a Fu Manchu

#3046 Post by **domino harvey** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:31 pm

No clips online, but here he is in the trailer. It's somehow worse than I remembered-- though Robert (né Robery) Morley makes Mason look like Marlon Brando in this movie. The trailer quite wisely didn't use any clips of Morley talking!

Big Ben · #3047 Post by **Big Ben** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 9:43 pm

I remember this film now. I have actually seen bits and pieces of this. It was on TCM and my Dad pointed out what trash it was.

Yikes!

I suppose at least Genghis Khan did not result in everyone getting cancer from being filmed near to a nuclear testing site. So it is not literally toxic!

Costa · #3049 Post by **Costa** » Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:17 pm

Ok, I saw yesterday Genghis Khan, and although I love the genre, yes it IS bad! (and this comes from a person that loves italian peplum films that generally are considered bad)
I was bored to death and in the last 5 minutes i fast forwarded.
I wouldn't recommend a blind buy to anyone.
