You know I was thinking of that! 😄

That’d be cool wouldn’t it, if thanks to the Disney-Fox merger they announce Fox will co-distribute TLJ at the last minute? Plus, the possibility of Fox co-distributing any other future SW media (maybe even help co-produce one).

If you’ve been reading up as of late, though Bob Iger stends to stay longer as Disney CEO, James Murdoch is looking to be next in line (oh, so awkward!):

But Rupert prefers that Iger stays:

That’s not all, the deal is expected to be done by Thursday:

Finally, a latest article:

Again, I so want this deal to go through because to have Star Wars in a way fully owned by Fox again, that’s all I really wanted. They were always SW’s rightful home to me.

Deal’s not over yet!:

Personally, I’m excited for this if it means Disney and Fox will finally share the Star Wars pie under one roof (and keeping the Fox logo and fanfare for I, II, III, V, and VI indefinitely).

The deleted scene(s) is included as bonus material!!!:

The 40th anniversary edition of Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas is now available and I found 2 Amazon reviews confirming that the Kermit scenes (and the laundry scene) have been restored:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3LUIR1VP9HQUJ/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0746S1XZ1

No word yet if the presentation is original full screen with the proper 60fps framerate or the matted widescreen presentation with the manipulated film-like framerate (the one that aired on ABC Family/Freeform) but I asked one of the reviewers and currently awaiting reply.

UPDATE: So bad news; the 40th AE DVD is in matted-widescreen with the film-like framerate.

Bumping this thread to tell you all that NCircle will be releasing the film on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack:
https://www.amazon.com/Gumby-Movie-BD-Combo/dp/B01M9BFWNM

According to the runtime, it seems it will be the theatrical version.

Further confirmation comes from a listing on Amazon Instant (with NCircle listed at the Studio) with a runtime of 88:36 (it still missing the Warner Vision logo though).

My predictions:

-40th anniversary Blu-ray/DVD box set from Fox/Disney containing the original unaltered theatrical versions for the first 6 films

-Announcement that the Fox logo and fanfare will be present for I, II, III, V, and VI come 2020.

Some additions (all US releases):

-Child’s Play - 1.33:1 OM on Original MGM DVD release
-Phantasm II - 1.33:1 OM on VHS release
-Phantasm III: Lord of The Dead - 1.33:1 OM on VHS release
-Phantasm: OblIVion - 1.33:1 OM on VHS release
-Phantasm: OblIVion - 1.33:1 OM on DVD release
-Sky High - 1.33:1 OM on DVD release
-Who Framed Roger Rabbit - 1.33:1 OM/P&S on Vista Series DVD release

Oh yes he is! 😉

Ah, I heard about this on Stu’s Show. Can’t wait! 😄

Excuse me for bumping an old thread, but I have a question; does V2 of the King Turd Collection feature the transfers from the Mike Judge Collection Volume 3 or are they VHS rips?

Also something to point out, Nose Bleed on the Mike Judge Collection Volume 3 extends a few scenes by a couple of seconds, but it removes 2 seconds of Butt-Head laughing after coming up with an idea to fix Beavis’ bloody nose once and for all (though it can be found on the Innocence Lost/Chicks N’ Stuff DVD from Time-Life). What does the King Turd Collection have for that episode (meaning adding the 2 seconds back in)?

So there’s 4 possibilities: CGI, recast, have her off screen in IX, or recycle unused takes.

I think using the idea of using deleted scenes and unused takes is a wise choice. As for killing her off, I don’t know (I’m leaning towards No).

At any rate, the main saga is ending at IX.

I don’t know. I would just end the main series at IX, as George wanted. On the other hand, he envisioned 9-12 films, so if they want to go up to XII, let that be it.

If you want to make more Star Wars films, the spin-off films were made for a reason.

So the DVDs “He’s a Bully, Charlie Brown” and “Peanuts: The Emmy Honored Collection” (AKA almost the 1980s Collection) have HD to SD remasters of most/all of the specials on them.

Didn’t realize that. I just assumed for He’s a Bully, Charlie Brown, they used the previous (remastered) transfers. Can you please do an image comparison for the specials on that discs with the other Warner releases that have them?

Technically speaking and like ANH, wouldn’t Fox co-own the Holiday Special too being they co-produced it as well?
