Another upgrade of one of their ancient DVDs

Why did they even bother picking those UHD rights up if they weren't going to keep them in print for more than, what, 3 or 4 years?

This was what they said this afternoon...

We're not discussing it in public, but it should be pretty obvious whose choice it was.

While I'm certainly amenable to the politics of this one, I remember it being a slog. Granted, that was roughly 18 years ago.

Oof, a movie I loved as a kid that does not hold up well in adulthood. Even if it was a good film, though, their choices for 4Ks continue to baffle

best Kino announcement in some time. have been holding off on the Imprint disc in order for this to come to fruition. seems the wait was a new master!

[domino harvey]

Nice, I’d been considering the Imprint as well, but this is def more of a $10 movie for me

Kino Insider hinted that they will be releasing Richard Stanley's Hardware

Nice, I’d been considering the Imprint as well, but this is def more of a $10 movie for me

since it's a blind buy for me I'd definitely much rather pay Kino's price of course. hoping they can port the Daniel Kremer commentary or get someone equally inticing for their inevitable track - I've only heard his commentary on The Desperate Hours but enjoyed it a good bit

as a Jack Lemmon fan I've always wanted to see the movie, and some key recommendations have had it on my radar. definitely looking forward

My write up from the 70s List

Save the Tiger (John G. Avildsen 1973) I became uneasy as the film unraveled, as this looked like your garden variety mid-life crisis mope-a-thon, but Jack Lemmon (in a justly Oscar-winning role) brings a strong lived-in despair too convincing to be reduced to mere melodramatic tics or narrative points. This is a film that understands something elemental about aging, the idea that the world we felt comfortable in has passed and what's left in its wake is not only different, but hostile to what we knew and loved (and even the ignorance is a kind of hostility, a reflection of the perceived importance of our beloved era). There's a great moment early on: Lemmon joylessly prepares for the day by taking a shower, getting dressed, reading his paper, and at the end of this ritual he turns on the stereo to listen to some music and a look of peace creeps into his face, only to be immediately crumbled away by his wife's brusque dismissal of his music. It's a wonderfully observed moment and the film is filled with them.
