I was on the fence for Used Cars, but a whole unused score has me very very interested now.

This may have already been addressed, but what's with TT's love for the Photoshop sharpening tool?

Are you talking about the Royal Flash signed copy? This is weird. They have the copies for almost 3 weeks now. I was one of the customers to place my order within the first six minutes (to get the signed copy) on the pre-order day. My order was delayed because Virginia was under the snow for a couple of weeks. I finally received my copy more than a week ago. This copany is probably run by one or two people. Every months their orders get so backed up, they have to use various excuses. My order contained all Feb pre-order items. I can justify my delay due to bad weather, although USPS worked everyday. Its just them who went into hibernation and could not ship out anything. Why should somebody has to wait for in stock items now? This is just crapy customer service.

The latest promotion was for The Driver, not Royal Flash.

That's right. Thanks for the correction. Now it makes sense.

Special Features:
Isolated Music & Effects Track / Love, Death, Elvis & Oz: The Making of Wild at Heart / Original 1990 Making-of EPK / Dell’s Lunch Counter (Extended Interviews) / Specific Spontaneity: Focus on David Lynch / David Lynch on the DVD / 4 TV Spots / Original Theatrical Trailer

No Lime Green extras. Sort of hoping the PQ turns out to be no better than the Universal so I don't have to contend with that cover. Though an uncut version could sway me.

Edit:

Nevermind.

The fact that the deleted scenes aren't being included (which likely means Lynch was not involved with the release) basically renders this TT release pointless.

I received the e-mail yesterday that my order (with autographed copy) shipped and is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

From Redman: with regard to "U-Turn" we are working with Oliver Stone on another of his films, so hopefully "U-Turn" is a possibility for the future. Anybody want to guess?

MGM has Salvador and it hasn't come out on Blu-ray, so surely that one

The other one I would like to see is Heaven and Earth, but that is with WB. It has to be Salvador. This release must be loaded with extras, in order to justify - "we are working with Oliver Stone".

It can't be any of the Warner titles, and it can't be Seizure (that one's coming to blu from Scorpion ), so I agree Salvador is the most likely candidate. The only other alternative I can think of is Talk Radio.

April 2014 release booklet artwork:

Interesting: Twilight Time wrote on their facebook page that Lynch declined to allow the deleted scenes of Wild at Heart on the upcoming release. My guess is that, knowing Lynch and his involvement with the past releases of his films, his inability to supervise a new master for the main feature, as well as remaster the deleted scenes in HD, turned him down entirely.

That booklet for Used Cars is pretty great

I'd be willing to bet that if that Wild at Heart booklet art was used as the front cover and they were sold in Barnes & Noble, it'd sell out on the first day of release.

It is probably going to sell out quickly anyway.

Or you could import the region free Blu-ray from the UK for seven pounds. HMMMM

Have TT made any comment whether it is uncensored?

Yes, they've confirmed several times that it is simply the MGM DVD era master, and thus, censored.

Is the UK Blu-ray censored and/or based on a newer master?
