Before I collapse from a headache, here.

Had a dream that a new, and apparently unknown film with Connie was found, restored and *gasp* released. It was an adventure film (set in a savannah/desert), tinted. The restoration was very good. It was originally released between 1920-5. The English title was Look Back or something along those lines.

It just makes me want a BluRay release of Around the World in 80 Days more.

(There is a BluRay release of The Student of Prague! Finally! And Alraune!)

Indeed! (My subconcious really wants him to be in adventure films, it seems.)

Took them long enough! All DVD releases for Student appear to be bootlegs, so this is the first home media release for it. Same for Alraune, it seems.

Did a quick bit of tutting at Warner Archive releasing films on DVD-r's again and not putting them on BR.

*facepalm* Cheapskates. You would think they would know (since they have profit in mind) that releasing the films on BluRay, in HD, would ultimately make them more money? People who already have the film on DVD would get it again?

I think Alpha Video is legal-ish, but it's Alpha video!

People who already have the film on DVD would get it again Totally, speaking as a triple dipper.

With blu-rays factories they do smaller runs today so it wouldn't hurt Warner's financially and they could put more than one film on a disc. Why there isn't a Lorre & Greenstreet box set I don't know. Are Warner's hiring? They need me XD
