I'll stick with the region free UK release. Hopefully Kino will at least license Arrow's healthy selection of extras, though I suspect we'll just get a new commentary.

I am totally fine with them working through Olive titles, given they have new transfers and add extras.
Kino love Alan K. Rode, who did the Arrow commentary for this...interested to see who we get

That’s such a disaster of a comedy too because it doesn’t capitalize on the humor inherent in the initial scenario of a straight guy being thanked in a hugely public way for being an inspirational gay figure and instead decides that yeah, okay, he is gay

I'm no great defender, but the Barbra Streisand-themed bachelor party and the climactic "fuck Barbra Streisand" have remained with me vividly many years after seeing it.

My write up from the War List Project
domino harvey wrote: Mon Aug 18, 2014 6:11 am
Submarine Command (John Farrow 1951) Fourth, final, and weakest by far pairing of William Holden and Nancy Olson. Holden is a sub captain who is haunted by his actions on the last day of the war which resulted in the original captain of the sub dying. Though he's in the right and there's even a narratively convenient meeting with the man's widow who pleads with him to forgive himself, Holden eats himself alive mainly because one of the men under him, William Bendix, keeps giving him dirty looks and refuses to shake his hand &c. William Bendix seems like your girlfriend's father: he's fun, you like him, but you wouldn't want to piss him off. So I get it. But I don't get it. You needn't ask if Holden eventually wins back favor in the eyes of some guy who's really good at holding a grudge once Holden and his ship get recommissioned back into duty for the Korean War, for you already know the answer.

A terrible movie, but the ending is incredible (and truly, don’t spoil it for yourself if you’re planning on watching)

Yep, all I remember about this one is its ending, but I probably last watched it nearly 25 years ago so that’s saying something

Didn’t realize until now that I’ve somehow seen all three adaptations of the source material too (The Big Clock and Police Python 357 being the others)— I guess it helps that all three liberally change key details of the plot while keeping the set up. Only one goes “there” for the finale though!

Funny, but when we were watching this movie back in Soviet Union the reaction was completely opposite - good movie but terrible ending - to the point that people were deleting the ending from their VHS copies

That's makes perfect sense. It would only have worked for you if all the nationalities were flipped.

It's been so long since I've seen this, probably when it came out, all I remember was something about Sean Young in the limo

Watched the new 4K of Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and was really pleased at how it looked. Finally the huge epic of Middle Americana the MGM DVD betrayed a little with the bland presentation and mid-90’s studio logo attached, the subsequent Blu Twilight Time was an improvement, but this went the extra mile with the new stereo sound and Dolby Vision. This also fully retained the UA logo from 1974, repeated at the end and with no lion upfront either.

I recall them initially saying The Italian Job wouldn't sell but then shortly announce Nobody's Fool later. Then they relented on The Italian Job. I guess Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy was a no-brainer.
