What do you see as disappointments vs successes? Is it titles or mastering?
Don't get me wrong- they have made some terrific packages: 2001, Heat, Paris Texas spring to mind.
But they also have had some pretty bad ones (artwork-wise) like Carlito's Way, The Sting, and The Thing.
Don't get me wrong, they do some fantastic stuff- just sometimes the art choices leave me scratching my head. I still regret blind buying The Sting, as the artwork is just not representative of the film (imo). My Wcl of Wild at Heart is serviceable at best. However, I love my editions of 2001, Paris Texas, Heat.
I suppose it's just a little shocking when they do really great editions like 2001, and then do something like The Sting box set. (Almost like they have an "A" team and a "B" team).
i always have high hopes when WCL does something. But, you never know if it will be like 2001 (chef's kiss), or like the John Waters box (not great art, there).
I guess that comes down to art choices (which of course, are subjective)---like, I find Citizen Kane, and Roman Holiday pretty blah. Titles on boxes. Whereas 2001 was an instant classic release.
No label is perfect, of course- and perhaps my earlier statement was overly (and perhaps, unjustly) harsh.... Maybe it was my disappointment over the last few choices of artwork.
But, it is true that for every release they have that is stellar, their have been a few that made me regret it. But, this certainly true of other labels as well- and they can't ALL be winners. And it doesn't help that a lot of the time the in-hand inspection is the only way to know for sure. (I still am not sure if I am missing out by not getting the Clouzot box- but it looks very plain- but in-hand maybe it's geat? Dunno).
I like WCL- but maybe it's because their good ones are so good, that the not-so-good ones feel like such a let down.
*Field of Dreams is a head scratcher. It is literally an image of some random field.

While one might quibble with the "look" of WCL editions, in terms of content, it's a SLAM DUNK. They arguably do it better than every other company!
Not to qibble- but you get an amaray, an extra DVD (lol), and a booklet. How is that a slam dunk on content?

I'd love that lenti slip....but that would be a triple dip costing $80! I hope maybe Diabolik can get it, and ease the shipping cost...

Fair enough. Different strokes for different folks.
If it is satisfying collectors- the more the merrier.- 6

My opinion on WCL stands. Yikes.
occasionally, they'll make a good one… But mostly they are yikes.

Meant the steelbook for Signs already out is as close to perfect a steelbook can be.
so (personally) I feel any Signs premium should use that same steelbook or it won’t be as good.I get ya. Sure, use the same steelbook - slap the 4k disc inside and design some nice lenti and full slips.👍

Wrong. I would love one - but unless they use that perfect steelbook it would be pointless. .
Care to elaborate? Not sure what you mean.

SIGNS is a perfect candidate for a premium.

Did you check the club tab to see whether you can access it? Because you can, lol as you have been in the club since 2/1.
I guess I need my eyesight checked...😆

@Gary K I think I was in the GB for this. (It's on my ledger- the GB sign up was so long ago!) can I get an invite?

@Gary K I also never received an invite for this. I just started wondering what the status of this is. Did this come out? Should I have received it already? I should be on the GB list- but I have no way of checking it.

I cancelled mine. I only need 1 & 2.
3 & 4 are just frisbees I'd be paying extra for.😆- 2

Amazon.uk only £8 shipping to U.S. 😳👍
(you'd think it would be much more for a box set)

There was a guy on reddit who posted a response from an inquiry to Zavvi, and they said it was temporary and should be resolved by March/April.
I hope this is correct

Unless MP does a GB - maybe another vendor in another country.
remember that a lot of the time "Zavvi exclusive" means Zavvi has exclusive for the UK - not the world.

So is MP gonna have to start doing GBs for Zavvi UK (until they start selling worldwide again)?

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Complete Collection (RaroFilm Studios Exclusive #004) (Blu-ray) [Italy]

Yeah. Been there. I blame bad pre-order pics that don't convey how nice it will be in-hand.
But, if it makes you feel any better- Raro's first release, Devil's Advocate, was very underwhelming. (The Title is even off-center on the spine).
