The celluloid is haunted I tell you.

Are there any other portions of the film where the yellows appear pink? Very unusual effect.

I don't know about retail places, but my wholesaler (the one of the majors) has this note for the Kubrick box: "Moratorium - this item cannot be ordered from the vendor or backordered" EWS is in the same status.Go figure what's going on...

I had to cancel my order from DVDPlanet because I had waited over a month and still no set.

How could they have fucked this set up again?

Oedipax · #531 Post by **Oedipax** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 3:56 pm

Simply amazing. Kubrick would be apoplectic if he were here to see it (but then, I think we can all agree, it would've never happened to begin with).

Anyway I'm glad I held out until I make the transition to HD.

Are they going back to throw in Lolita and Lyndon?

Cinephrenic · #533 Post by **Cinephrenic** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 11:34 pm

Lolita and Lyndon

They both deserve great special editions separate from the box.

But have the Lyndon and Lolita gotten any special treatment?

No. See HERE and HERE.

Maybe next time, Warner.

So I'm confused...has this been pulled? If so, does anyone know why?

They probably sold out of original print run of EWS/BR. So another run, with corrected artwork, is probably what's going on. (Artwork indicated both censored and uncensored versions were included; only uncensored one is.)

Oh, but since everything that is or has EWS (BR/HD/DVD) is apparently on moratorium, this probably applies to all of them, including box set.

So, is the DVD boxset in moratorium now? And if so, are the separate releases still available?

The old box with the street date 10.23.07 is on moratorium, but there is a new box, identified as the "New Pkg", which available from 01.29.08. Most likely, the cover art of Shining is now the correct one (not the same as available separately)...

justeleblanc · #542 Post by **justeleblanc** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 7:45 pm

There was also an EWS snafu with the rated/unrated versions both having the same box.

Gregor Samsa · #543 Post by **Gregor Samsa** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 3:21 am

Speaking of snafus, the R4 version not only has the shorter 'international' cut of The Shining, but the 1966 Kubrick interview on 2001 has been removed for no particular reason.

The UK set is coming out in March (Amazon link), but doesn't appear to be any different to the R1 (specs from DVD Times).

TheWatcher · #545 Post by **TheWatcher** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:36 pm

Amazon has this back in stock, although there's no indication that all issues (incorrect colour in The Shining, branching on EWS, covers for those with OCD) have been addressed.

The 2001 Spacesuit Restoration Project.

Barmy · #547 Post by **Barmy** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 8:39 pm

I bet the founder of that project has a lot of unwatched DVDs on his shelves.

I noticed one UPC of it get switched to OOP a couple weeks ago at Michael's Movie Mayhem. That site has three UPCs of Barry Lyndon listed, all now OOP.

atcolomb · #550 Post by **atcolomb** » Thu May 15, 2008 5:39 pm

And if they release a special edition will they issue a Blue Ray edition?.....with Barry Lyndon's beautiful photography that would be a great benefit.....
