That track was also missing from the 2009 DVD, in case that makes you feel any better.domino harvey wrote:YES YES YES YES YES YES

I don't remember the Bogdanovich comm being a good track (I can't remember if I ever even bothered to finish it), but anything would be better than ol' Whispering Smith

Re: Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu
I don't mind Drew Casper compared to Bogdanovich. I especially am not a fan of Bogdanovich doing impersonations of others, (he does John Ford's voice or Hitchcock's voice when he talks about them, and they aren't very good....)

More than you ever wanted to know about Whispering Smith (go to page 13.) "No more tattoos.

Re: Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu
Pre-orders are up at Amazon.com and Walmart. It seems to be Paramount's "big catalogue" title for April. So far we have:
January - Wings
February - Love Story
March - To Catch a Thief
April - Chinatown
Paramount 100 is quite lame compared to Universal 100, but still better than nothing.

Re: Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu
Those features look very good. And a commentary from David Fincher...didn't see that one coming.

Agreed, but the lack of DTS baffles me.

All the special features were on the Centennial collection DVD released in 2009.RobertAltman wrote:Those features look very good. And a commentary from David Fincher...didn't see that one coming.
Why would you need DTS if you have Dolby TrueHD?flyonthewall2983 wrote:Agreed, but the lack of DTS baffles me.

Re: Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu
You do realize the film was recorded in shitty mono, yes? Complaints about the HD audio codec are like complaints about saturation levels in a colorized restoration.

That Towne/Fincher commentary completely flew under my radar, I'll be checking out the DVD right away.

Which is not an issue here, since the disc includes a Dolby TrueHD track.fdm wrote:You do realize that compressed lossy audio is worse than lossless audio, mono or not, right?

Re: Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu
It's certainly pretty great as far as commentaries go. Although I found it rather amusing how Fincher periodically points out certain elements which he thinks flawed and would have done better himself.Oedipax wrote:That Towne/Fincher commentary completely flew under my radar, I'll be checking out the DVD right away.

And it's also very nice to see that Paramount and Universal have started offering original mono/stereo mixes in lossless.Brian C wrote:Which is not an issue here, since the disc includes a Dolby TrueHD track.fdm wrote:You do realize that compressed lossy audio is worse than lossless audio, mono or not, right?

COME BACK LITTLE SHEBA. This film was on laserdisc and dvd but the soundtrack music was altered in the typical Paramount fashion. Assume they would not pay the fee.
