Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu

[domino harvey]

I picked up the Hepburn set when it was on sale last year to replace all the indiv releases

[therewillbeblus]

Yeah I grabbed it too- surprised you didn’t pick it up swo, since you were the one to highlight its existence to the forum and hype it as a good deal back in October!

[swo17]

I already had all the individual releases I wanted besides the Quine, which I figured would come out eventually, and I didn't feel like going to the effort of trying to sell all of those off, but I'm still going to post a good deal when I see one!

[therewillbeblus]

Well I appreciate it, and I’m glad you got your Quine!

[domino harvey]

It was easier for me to commit because I also didn’t already have the Vidor or Cukor films (not that I was really missing them…)

[Drucker]

I'm no expert but I don't love the way this encode looks on Beavis and Butthead Do America

[therewillbeblus]

Looks like how they’d do encodes tho’

[tenia]

For those interested, Imprint's version of Last Train from Gun Hill doesn't have the ghosting issue the Paramount BD has.
The encode isn't as good with fine grain, though.

Coming out on May 17. Are there any other sites besides Amazon that sell Paramount Presents titles for cheap?

[swo17]

I've gotten a few from DeepDiscount

[Monterey Jack]

We're finally getting The Ghost & The Darkness from Shout.

[ryannichols7]

this is the first Ford in 4K, no?

[videozor]

Are there any other sites besides Amazon that sell Paramount Presents titles for cheap?

Critic's Choice Video - ccvideo.com - you might stumble upon Paramount Presents sale - $19.47 per title

[fdm]

You might also stumble across them during one of Target's B2G1 sales.

[PfR73]

I haven't been able to find any Paramount Presents releases on Target.com for a long time, longer than just temporary out-of-stock issues should take. I think they don't carry them anymore for some reason.

[fdm]

I think I only got one from them quite a while ago, Roman Holiday. Probably why that's been the only one…

Who, anywhere, ever, was asking for this on Blu-ray?

Not I, but every film seemingly has its fans, and the "C" tier catalog releases seem to be the biggest random output from Paramount ("A" tier being UHDs/Paramaount Presents BDs, and "B" being the Top Secret! type BD releases with digital copies).

[domino harvey]

It has an unexpectedly exhaustive Wikipedia entry, so there’s at least one superfan out there

[Matt]

There was a brief resurgence of fondness for The Nanny among Millennials (after they ran out of Frasier and Scrubs episodes I suppose), so this may just be the studio’s usual lethargic effort to cash in on a long-passed trend.

There must be really cheap, low print run minimums for Blu-rays now, like 500 or less. I can’t imagine someone’s ordering up 3000 copies of this.

[domino harvey]

I had friends in high school circa 2000/2001 who'd go home at lunch just to watch syndicated reruns of the Nanny while they ate, and they'd always refer to the show by Drescher's name (ie "We're watching Fran"). Glad to hear I was hobnobbing with trendsetters

[JakeStewart]

I was not one of those millenials I’m glad to say. I sure hope The Nanny reruns weren’t more popular than Seinfeld ones. If so, yikes.

I believe this is the case with all the major labels for their "boutique" MOD style titles.
