Everything Else / Re: Dario Argento and others thrillers/horror movies directors
« Last post by Guillaume on May 01, 2026, 08:06:34 PM »I assume that the german BR 4K release of July 23rd will include at least some extras/features/supplements from the american BR 4K release of Vinegar Syndrome released some time ago:
Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present THE CARD PLAYER in its world UHD debut, newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative and loaded with a full deck of both new and archival extras.
directed by: Dario Argento
starring: Stefania Rocca, Liam Cunningham, Silvio Muccino, Adalberto Maria Merli, Claudio Santamaria, Fiore Argento
2003 / 103 min / 1.85:1 / English, Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
Additional info:
2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD / Region A Blu-ray
4K UHD presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range
Newly scanned & restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative
Presented in its original English language 5.1 surround soundtrack, as well as its Italian language 5.1 surround soundtrack with newly translated English subtitles
Commentary track with film historians Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson
Playing the Game (27 min) - a brand new interview with actress Stefania Rocca
Digital Nightmare (19 min) - a brand new interview with composer Claudio Simonetti
Like in War (10 min) - a brand new interview with make-up artist Sergio Stivaletti
Sharp Cuts (20 min) - a brand new interview with editor Walter Fasano
Watch Me When I Kill (18 min) - an archival interview with director/screenwriter Dario Argento
Taking Risks (9 min) - an archival interview with screenwriter Franco Ferrini
A Chip and a Chair (12 min) - an archival interview with set designer Antonello Geleng
Game Over (8 min) - an archival interview with actress Fiore Argento
Archival behind-the-scenes featurette (9 min)
Reversible sleeve artwork
English SDH subtitles
I have the french Blu-ray released two years ago, which is good, but I will probably buy one of these foreign releases for the 4K (the french Blu-ray is a "classic" 2K Blu-ray) and especially for the extras, interviews (with the lead actress, the editor, the screenwriter, etc.).

« Last post by cthulhu on May 01, 2026, 11:28:56 AM »I like the cover of that edition, sadly they just mentioned in the description of the extras "and many more". I have another normal edition of The Card Player on my watchlist, haven't seen this one yet and i wouldn't spent 40€ for this edition without knowing the movie and what additions besides 4k is in there. Let's wait for the reviews after release.

« Last post by cthulhu on May 01, 2026, 11:06:05 AM »Yesterday i stumbled upon Hundreds of Beavers on prime, didn't want to watch a movie after hours in front of the pc, but i started it because MR mentioned it....and after 3mins i was laughing out loudly 
and watched the whole movie...Love this one! Really impressing, so much going on there, i saw a Star Wars sequence and many hints to Videogames also. This is a must have for the collection.

« Last post by cthulhu on April 30, 2026, 05:38:25 AM »Sounds great and promising, i have seen the title sometimes and wondered if it is worth looking into it, now i know;-)
I love slapstick and yesterday came my Box Set of The 4 Marx Brothers at Paramount. 5 movies in there: The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers and Duck Soup I had them already on dvd and looking forward to watch the restored versions, another fine edition by Arrow Video.

« Last post by cthulhu on April 30, 2026, 05:32:17 AM »I have listened to the whole Album, took my Graphic Novel The Incal by Jodorowsky and Moebius, i love to read those Graphic Novels while playing atmospheric music and it was a great fit (also have played the John Carpenter Cds he put out with his son while reading, also very fitting..) and i can't say i have a favourite tune. Maybe the Track: The Challenger's Arrival followed by the eerie Supernatural Accomplice i could name, but the whole Album had a fine seamless flow to it.
