Agreed! Hoping they are better than the already-existing Mill Creek BDs. I know "Orbit" wasn't released in those but "Outlaw" had some glitch issues that I hope have been corrected.Having these 4 wanna haves restored and on Bluray make it easy to pop on this set!! The shorts are just the icing in the Blu ray!!!
- Have Rocket – Will Travel
- The Three Stooges Meet Hercules
- The Three Stooges in Orbit
- The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze
Thre seems to be so many Mondo Swag Bag Editions, that's really not my thing, some people Love it!!!! I'd much rather have great and rare film clips and commentary than 3D photo-rings and mini posters and commemorative coins and other smegma!!!
It's Sony so who knows? They tend to release something like this and then not revisit it for a decade. From what I recall, they were reluctant at first to release The Three Stooges to DVD. They had those single-disc collections and then the colorized DVD. Years later, they finally released chronological sets that were big sellers from them. They haven't learned their lesson from that or there must be new people in charge who are not familiar with that era of DVD. Fans have been asking for BDs of the Stooges for a long time. This might be it for a while.
Hate to disagree, but yes they would, because even those contain different bits. from the guys that may not be in another one of the shorts
I agree, and frankly, several of the Shemp remakes improve upon the originals. Of course, original shorts would have been better but the remakes sometimes find ways to improve upon the originals. Be it getting tightened up, pacing, etc.
Agreed! There really should be a list of the shorts included in the press release. That's a half-assed job right there to issue an announcement and yet be so vague about what is actually included. Do people go to the store and buy unlabeled bread and think "maybe it's rye, maybe it's pumpernickel but it's all bread. Okay, I'll buy it." LOL
Yes.... Dear God.... For the love of Shemp, was there at the beginning and walked away to a pretty good spot, showing up in some great films, Thin Man, Arabian Nights, and others, some good works at Universal and Paramount as well, while the others were kind of tied to the Contract at Columbia,
I would think new transfers were made for this set. But who knows?
I’m happy and buying!
Good questions about the 3D shorts and the commentaries (there's also Leonard Maltin/Gary Lassin/Brent Seguine too?) Probably wayyy to co$t prohibitive in any case.Are the two filmed in 3D going to get a proper 3D presentation?
Nice to include the 2000 bio film, but those missing shorts are more important than the Telefilm.
As for included extras, Are there going to be any Commentaries? Has any one at Sony contacted Bradlev Server ( Curly's Grandson) and Andy Pagana.
I pulled the trigger immediately upon seeing the post. Still scratching my old, grey head about the incomplete presentation, though.
I think it's most because Stooge completists would want all shorts on Blu Ray. And I must admit, I would like to see a list of exactly what is included BUT, personally, I am buying it just to have The Three Stooges in Orbit on Blu Ray which is worth the entire set to me.
The 3D shorts were included in the BD release of the film The Mad Magician. So I'm okay with it if they leave those off. I just hope they include some of my favorite shorts.
