Twilight Time / Redwind

[knives]

I like it. It certainly has one of the best late Brando performances and Penn's chosen style is a lot of fun. It, along with Night Moves, makes me think he'd have made the perfect Jim Thompson adaptation.

Hey! James Foley and After Dark, My Sweet already earned that vaulted position.

Does anyone ever listen to the isolated score tracks? I think it's cool how persistent they are with it.

Needs more mouths

[Ishmael]

I'd scream, too, if I had a cold sore shaped like a pair of lips.

[Noiradelic]

Her lower lip has its own lips.

[Randall Maysin]

and her shoulder has its own Agnes Moorehead!

I reserve my right to say something once I've seen that.

[DeprongMori]

For Jim Thompson adaptations, the French have done a great job. Alain Corneau's Serie Noire really captures Thompson's A Hell of a Woman, and Bertrand Tavernier makes a savvy decision to set Pop. 1280 in French colonial Africa with Coup de Torchon. Both capture the particular seedy insanity that underlies most Thompson novels.

I do need to see After Dark, My Sweet again. I recall that was one of the better American adaptations.

Speaking of, TT or, well, any label should finally release This World, Then the Fireworks. It is a cult classic still waiting to find its cult due to its compete unavailability

Since TT and so many other labels apparently have their hands in the MGM cookie jar at the moment is there any chance that someone, anyone could release They Shoot Horses, Don't They? This seems like it's right up TT's alley..

[domino harvey]

I think MisterLime said it has strange ownership problems

[John Doe]

It's with Disney via ABC.

And Mr. Lime is not a reliable source. For real. Until recently he insisted the the original Sleuth is with Paramount, even though some people have pointed out to him that it's owned by some small company, but he changed his tune lately.

Unless something has changed recently, the remakes of Sleuth, The Heartbreak Kid, and The Stepford Wives are owned by Paramount, and the originals are owned by pharmaceutical company Bristol-Meyers Squibb.

Does that means it's not likely to get upgraded in the foreseeable future?

[captveg]

Demetrius and the Gladiators has sold out.

Vampires is down to under 100 copies at TT's website only (already sold out at SAE)

Royal Flash and Alamo Bay are no longer available at TT, though presumably there are plenty of each at SAE for the time being.

[captveg]

Vampires has sold out

[mfunk9786]

Until they print another 3,000 of them?

[Cold Bishop]

She's a xenomorph!

They've been rather adamant that they are done with reissues. That doesn't preclude Sony from reissuing it themselves, of course.

[dwk]

Sony's not going to reissue it (well, they probably will put it out in their overpriced BD-R program.) Anyone that missed it and wants a proper pressed Blu-ray, Indicator said they have Vampires (and Ghosts of Mars), so they'll probably issue it next year.

[Drucker]

Something's amiss with Twilight Time's The Gang's All Here.

[captveg]

It looks like Fox has responded to the (legit) "too blue" complaints (note how the black clothes in the MoC release look dark navy blue) by overcorrecting and going "too yellow".
