Wasn't there a weird visual glitch on the French release of Tenebrae? I can remember reading something about it on its release. If so, hopefully Arrow's version will correct the issue. |

Me neither.. Quote:
I don't mind that they're re-releasing. Yes, it's effectively admittance to a mistake as someone mentioned before, but better corrected and re-released than not at all. Arrow's releases are effectively getting better, so hopefully things like this won't happen again. |

New Arrow Announcements...
Saw the news on Facebook about the 58? minute conversation with Gould and Muchael Connelly. As if this release wasn't already a must buy, then they go and add this. Excellent!

I honestly dont mind if they go back over previous releases and have another go. The troubles they were having prior seemed to be down to shoddy equipment at the italian labs, a theory supported by the excellent quality of their US releases. |

I think there used to be an attitude that any release was better than nothing at all, and that if the only master available was a badly compromised one then so be it (to be fair, that attitude was by no means restricted to Arrow and several companies still have it), but it's clear from customer reactions that that's no longer sustainable. Standards at Arrow are vastly higher now than they were three or four years ago - they've hired some really good people (in addition to the deservedly acclaimed James White, encoder extraordinaire David Mackenzie is handling a lot of their discs now), and take things like QC much more seriously. And indeed rejecting substandard masters at an early stage, even if it means scrapping entire releases. I've QCed the vast majority of their recent releases myself, and have spotted and fixed mistakes that might well have ended up on the final release before - most recently an audio problem with Invasion of the Body Snatchers that did end up on the US BD! |

I have mentioned before and hell why not, I will mention again.........the 1975(James Caan) Rollerball I feel is right for Arrow to be looking into. It has everything that a cult movie release is about and I know that extras if obtainable are abundant and there certainly is room for more. Anyone with me on this one? |
