Andy

wanted to thank you for the JPC link, used then for the first time with the massive Dune release & this Supergirl release & the shipment was fantastic, so well packed.

Never heard of them or used them before, but will in the future.

Thanks again.

Andy Handgun was shown at cinemas in the UK for 2 weeks, it did not go straight into the VHS market. There were 12 prints in the country (as per my records of the day) & they were sent to EMI owned sites - ABC cinemas. Distribution was Columbia - EMI - Warner. It was then held back for 10 weeks ...

Thank you eric & added Dune as the Koch edition has 3 versions!

What a tremendous and kind person, who had a marvelous sense of humour and seem to truly respect his fans. First crossed paths on Jaws 3, which by the way if they had wanted a better film, they should have just released Lou cheering up the cast and crew, he did his best to raise everyone’s spirits a...

Andy Swarzc was on this as EMI was pushing for a very fast & cheaper film & they paid for this film, he proved to be exceptionally efficient on Jaws 2 & was able to meet the requirements. Guess that he may have been asked to try to get Christopher Reeves, but I do not know for certain, i...

Thank you for your insight.

The German sets looks astounding.

Thought I would ask here, as many have seen these extended US broadcast versions & they never made it to the UK, I do find them fascinating. I have the Arrow release Dune, but the Australians, Imprint, are putting out a version which has the TV cut. Now I did quite a bit of work on this back in ...

A while back the net seemed 'aflame" about The Warriors coming out with an all bells & whistle edition? maybe it is that & they finally got the full TV version to add to 4K remastered? Some people held back on the Imprint for that reason. Happy with the German media book edition, but if...

My thoughts are that it is 50 / 50 or the great English saying 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other. The internet has made programing wall to wall, everything all blurs into one thing, films are given no life to breath find an audience and make its own way forward. The never ending onslaught of prod...

For someone who was quite active in this industry in Europe at the time frame being discussed here, here are a few observations. Up until the early 1990’s we handled films in very defined ways. There were a few big or now termed blockbusters, Towering Inferno, Jaws, Star Wars, Superman The Movie, St...

Nothing new we did this back in the 1980's with Polyester. Just a gimmick that really was quite pointless!

More things change the more they stay the same!

Thanks Andy, I wasn't aware of the later British Blu-Ray that had it in there. I'll correct it before I upload it online next week. That Steelbook you worked on notes 1080i so obviously they didn't have a true HD element of that version available? That's too bad, but it is better than a DVD scan. F...

The extended version was released on Blu Ray back in 2018 for the UK, so not really a premier as such. Not a bad copy, I was given a copy for some advice I gave them on the cuts. Think it was more of an up grade from the DVD master than an actual re-scan etc. Here is the link. https://www.amazon.co....

Did a trade & have some Imprints from box sets that are no use to me, maybe someone here they appeal to & a trade?
