Warner/New Line Triple Features

[htdm]

DVD Davis announced that Warners and New Line will be releasing a pile of themed triple feature disc on Nov 7th @ $14.98 each. Most are new(ish) titles but among the notable classic titles scheduled are two Randolph Scott collections:

Colt 45 (50) / Fort Worth (51) / Tall Man Riding (55)
Man Behind The Gun (53) / Thunder Over The Plains (53) / Riding Shotgun (54)

and two early John Wayne collections:

Ride Him Cowboy (32) / The Big Stampede (32) / Haunted Gold (32)
Telegraph Trail (33) / Somewhere in Sonora (33) / Man from Monterey (33)

Ok, this new Triple-Feature line is a joke.

Oh, how the mighty fall...

Oh, how the mighty fall...

I'd rather three unrestored minor films by Randolph Scott and John Wayne for $3 each, then the same three films restored and selling for $12 each.

Judging by the screenshots on dvdbeaver, the picture quality is pretty good considering the age of the films. I'm sure if these same three films were released by a no name outfit the picture quality wouldn't look half as good.

I'm glad I'm only interested in the Western titles anyway, which all appear to be OAR. I picked up one of the Randolph Scott discs but haven't had time to check it out yet. I'm not expecting much for $3 a movie but those Beaver caps look acceptable.

WTF, they completely diss Lethal Weapon 4.

My thinking was similar to porquenegar's until I began reading posts over at Home Theatre Forum saying these dual layer discs have been freezing up a la Universal's early francise collection releases.
