Yes!!! I'm also excited that Lang's Fury is getting a blu-ray which just leaves You and Me (Universal) from Lang's underated "social trilogy" with Sylvia Sydney without a blu (I think the elements for that are in bad shape or something). Anyway Fury is a great film that I figured was never getting an upgrade.therewillbeblus wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 9:37 amFinally, yes! The absence of this title from their prioritized release schedule has been a headscratcher for years

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Fury is so exciting. Such a hard-hitting film, and I have to admit I didn't really expect it was high on their list of priorities.

These recent announcement slates are fire, and I hope it keeps on burning.

Delighted to see the Minnelli and Lang, top-tier films for both of them, but I'm also happy to see Party Girl. It's not top-tier Ray, but I like it.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Completely agree on all three of these opinions. Party Girl is at least okay, unlike the previous Ray release that Warner Archive released. It's easily his best looking movie.senseabove wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 12:07 pmDelighted to see the Minnelli and Lang, top-tier films for both of them, but I'm also happy to see Party Girl.

I think there is a French person working somewhere in WA, because they do often manage to pull out films loved by Cahiers but few others in the midst of their usual question mark approaches. This is a great month!

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Warners likes upgrading old DVD box sets title by title, so I think it’s only a matter of time until I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang!, Blackboard Jungle, and Advise and Consent close out the Controversial Classics setGlowingwabbit wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 10:34 amAnyway Fury is a great film that I figured was never getting an upgrade.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
I'm crossing my fingers for Advise and Consent, personally!
Here's hoping they also haven't forgotten about Adam's Rib, Tea and Sympathy, and Freaks. I may have to hold on to my old DVD-R copy of The Next Voice You Hear, though. I can't see them ever upgrading that one...

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Freaks would be great. Willing to bet that will come to Blu. Maybe they could add The Unknown in the same package, at least some older Warner DVDs have it.

Yes! The Devil Doll too (which seems likely given they've done Mad Love and Doctor X, all of which are in the Legends of Horror set). Given the length of some of these I hope they consider more double features like the latest Val Lewton Blu.

Have to wonder if Freaks may be a little too controversial for WB to release in the current climate. If so, hopefully Criterion's willing to take it on.

With the new ownership of WB they may be less conservative of what they release. Time will tell

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
If something is too dicey for Warner then I kinda doubt Criterion would touch it. But I don't think Freaks is in that category given that it's readily available on digital storefronts and on HBO Max, plus TCM is airing it as part of next month's Halloween lineup. There isn't a physical edition in print in the U.S. but there's nothing very odd about that—I don't think the '33 King Kong is in print here either.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
As early as 2004 (I think?) Warners had the good sense to contextualize Freaks with some really useful special features, including a documentary that went into the lives and careers of many of the cast and that featured interviews with folks from the circus-performing world, some of whom were differently-abled, weighing in on the film from a representation standpoint. I would hope that would be enough to placate anyone who would decry this film being rereleased. But who knows?

Also Ladies They Talk About, which I believe is the first film from the Forbidden Hollywood sets to be upgraded
EDIT whoops I see Ribs caught this already
