Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas (Complete) - (Released)
Time

Some good news of late, The Jim Henson Company finally got permission to reinstate Kermit for Emmet Otter! The special even aired recently on ABC Family:

The bad news, they matted it to widescreen and because they restored it in HD, the frame rate has been manipulated.

Info Wanted: 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' - audio issues; laserdisc better audio?
Time

My gripe about the 5.1 track on the Blu-ray is the part where Lucy asks Charlie Brown about her Christmas Queen part. The music and dialogue don’t match the rhythm and timing the mono track did.\

Other than that, no complaints with Warner’s DVD/Blu-ray audio for Charlie Brown Christmas.

But yeah, it be great if someone made a fan edition with both 5.1 and original Mono, reinstate the Coca-Cola sponsor tags, and add additional extras (like the recent ABC documentary special).

General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

My thoughts:

-I hope Disney does the right thing and restores the Fox logo and fanfare for the 5 of the 6 films (customer service understood my dilemma and my complaint went to marketing for evaluation so...good news!)

-Ewok Adventures on special edition Blu-ray and DVD (by special edition, I mean remastered picture and sound and loaded with extras, no CGI changes!) and complete series sets of Droids and Ewoks to coincide with VII. Who's with me? ;)

-It'd be great if some miracle happens and Fox manages to keep permanent distribution rights for I, II, III, V, and VI along with already permanent rights to IV.

-I suppose Fox also has permanent rights to any other Lucasfilm co-productions?

BANNED BOND: The Criterion Collection on DVD (Released)
Time

"Finally today, here’s a little treat for you 007 fans that our friend (and BD producer) Robert Meyer Burnett alerted us to this afternoon: The website The 007 Dossier has just posted MP3 files of the “banned” Criterion laserdisc audio commentaries for the films Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger! These tracks were recorded by Criterion for their original LDs way back in 1991 and were initially released, but Albert Broccoli felt they were unacceptable and had them all pulled and re-issued without the tracks. Now you can finally download them and enjoy, so be sure to head over there ASAP if you’re a Bond fan. They’re well worth the time."
