To get this BACK ON TOPIC:

Has anyone gotten the new 'Lawrence of Arabia' 2-disc CE? Is it the inferior transfer from the old LE release, or the Superbit transfer supervised by Robert A. Harris, or a new one entirely? And when the hell will we get a Blu-Ray of this?

No idea if the new Lawrence of Arabia uses the same transfer as the Superbit transfer supervised by RAH or what. Looked on DVDCompare.net Didn't this also receive a Roadshow release or was it at a time when the Roadshows were dying down? I'd love LoA on BD, including Bridge on the River Kwai, The Great Escape, The Man with No Name Trilogy, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Magnificent Seven, DJANGO and other period films from around the same time on BD. Even CHARADE would be excellent in High Definition. Of course it'd be a Criterion release on BD.
In fact, speaking of LucasFilm Ltd. properties, I'd even enjoy watching WILLOW in HD (1080p of course) with all the extras from the Special Edition release. EXCEPT/INCLUDING a mandate for commentary from Ron Howard and possibly Val Kilmer, way more documentaries, image galleries including concept art from Jean "Moebius" Girard (sp?) and more.

EDIT: Speaking of films released around the time of Casablanca... Are there anyone besides me who considers GUNGA DIN a precursor to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? Just it's set a hundred years or so before ToD. In fact both films compliment each other. What I enjoy most about Indiana Jones is the great adventures. Whether it be inspired from 1930's Republic cliffhanger serials, the Jim Grim novels, 1950's science fiction B-films, Ray Harryhousen, pulp stories and more. Hell, I'm even considering reinstalling my CD-ROM version of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on my PC, of course playing it via ScummVM, and actually trying the other paths instead of the team one.
Speaking of Fate of Atlantis, if a film were actually made when the game was released in 1992, which actress from said timeframe could've portrayed Sophia Hapgood? Of course she'd need to be a natural auburn redhead or thereabouts. She was also in Infernal Machine but I never actually passed it without downloading saves for the start of each level. Emperor's Tomb was alright, except I bloody hate jumping puzzles!
