That Fortune Cookie cover goes directly to the Worst Covers Ever thread.

It looks like a poster for the Terrance and Phillip movie

Looks like Twilight Time removed cover for

You Were Never Lovelier

What's great is that there's like a 75% chance whatever they replace it with will be clearly worse

Fixed..

That's better.

Re: the attempted Interiors commentary: "Just as a point of accuracy, Woody Allen's office signed off on the commentary - it was the studio that got cold feet at the last minute - a shame as the commentary was very supportive of the film and everything that it accomplished as Mr A's first dramatic endeavor."

Redman might not be the most reliable source of objective information, but to me this is completely plausible. If the "no supplements" policy is actually part of a contract between Allen and the studio, then even if Allen's office approved the supplement for whatever reason, the studio's legal department might nix the possibility unless the contract were revised. And TT's whole business model is based around minimizing any effort whatsoever on the part of the studios licensing to TT, so they might think it's not worth it to re-draft the contract (especially since TT pays up front so the studio doesn't really care about whether TT sells more copies as a result of added-value supplements).

Nah, Redman sounds like he is trying to save face. Why would MGM get cold feet if the Allen folks approved the commentary, which they (Allen's folks) would most likely have relayed to MGM. With Allen being notoriously anti-supplements for his releases wouldn't all parties communicating be a priority.

That Allen would tell Criterion no to supplements but be A-OK with a shithole boutique label is Pizzagate-level believable

Though don't trust everything the fisherman says.

The track being removed from the release (period) is evidence enough for me that TT is lying. If Allen actually wanted it, it'd be on there.

Having been in the home video industry for 15 years I would absolutely believe a rejection by legal at MGM. I've seen some remarkably absurd reasons legal has rejected something on a release over the years.

Legal reason: Woody Allen will sue us if we put this out.

You guys really believe they got to the announcement phase without clearing it with Allen? I know you guys see Redman as the devil and all, but do you actually think he's that obtuse? To me that simply strains reason.

Arrow folks have already confirmed they needed to get in writing approval just to get written supplementary material on this Allen release. Hard to believe anyone okayed anything on disc.
