Fingers crossed for Ladykillers...

More OOP based on previously being in the "While Supplies Last" sale and now no longer appearing on the website:

Sangaree (3D) (1953) (DVD Still Available (2D only))

I imagine Bunuel's Gran Casino and The Young One are also part of the deal.

Is there a “While Supplies Last” page still active? Googling it brings up a dead link and I can’t find a way in through their site...

Here it is. It's up in captveg's long post.

For some reason the url changed when they added the recent titles.

Based on the decade breakdown and what Lionsgate previously released, it's one of these titles: Contempt, The Ladykillers, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Ran, or Delicatessen.

Since StudioCanal UK released a new 4K remastered The Ladykillers with both 1.66 and 1.33 transfers this is the most likely guess.

Just purchased this over the weekend. Thanks for keeping track of these!

No problem! I kinda do it mostly to keep track for myself since their website is less obvious about something going OOP than, say, Criterion or Shout! Factory. Why should I be the only one befitting from the information when I'm gathering it anyway?

KL Insider confirmed that they licensed some Claude Chabrol in there deal with SC.

Nice, what titles might that include?

Both A Double Tour and Les Bonnes Femmes are Studio Canal titles.

Kino already has the rights to both

Hopefully La Ligne de démarcation and L'Œil du malin sell well so they finally give us that long-harnessed gold

Well, it's not The Ladykillers. The KL Insider said it's not with them and still with Lionsgate. My guess now is that it's Delicatessen

On that matter do people know which aspect ratio is preferred? The official restoration trailer seems to pick the 1.33 transfer. Then what's the point of the 1.66 ratio?

I believe it’s one of those transition movies from the 50s where it was exhibited at the time in whatever the theater could manage and was not necessarily definitively meant for one or the other.

Kino Insider said they have at least 5 UHDs planned for 2021.

So, while they don't have The Ladykillers, they do have at least one Ealing Studio film. Perhaps they picked up Last Holiday?

We know two are Spaceballs and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but hearing there are at least three more on tap is great news.

Can someone give a little PQ summation of The Ipcress File? I watched it on TCM. I really liked it. I may pick it up if the bluray is worth it.

Svet reviewed Kino's release of The Beguiled at blu-ray.com.

To answer your question: Yes, the phrase "toxic femininity" does appear in the review.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) UHD revealed for a 4/27/21 release.

D1 of the set is the 4K UHD for the Extended Cut. D2 is a regular BD for the Theatrical Cut (presumably the same disc from the previous BD release). EDIT: D2 BD is newly authored to put more of the special features on the BD disc, but the encode of the Theatrical version of the film is likely the same.

KI confirmed that The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly will not have HDR.
