Cross your fingers for a "Police Academy" steelbook if you're meeting him!

and Spaceballs!

 

[hiphopnrap]

Well I've took the plunge..
October is going to be beans on toast all month
But lots of steels

 

[yeslek]

A jumbo steelbook is available for Gremlins + Gremlins 2 for 20€

yeah I'm aware but a) dislike jumbo steels and b) prefer english/uk release

Not seen this film for years,but it is a classic.

Warner release therefore I'm pretty certain the transfer is exactly the same worldwide. As far as I know only certain titles from Warner are defferent in the audio / video dept. Zodiac being one. It's a safe bet to assume the UK one is the same as your current Canadian copy.

I'm pretty sure The Shining UK is a different cut than the US. Both released by Warner.

Let´s flush out some more 80s classics on steelbook...

Now I only want "Romancing The Stone", "The Lost Boys", and "The Jewel Of The Nile".

I got him to sign my original US one sheet poster of 'Police Academy'

I wouldn't want to read too much into this, but the inside artwork has been removed from Zavvi's website...

 

[Bendouche]

That was a nice movie when I was a child too. Pre-ordered today!

Yeah they've probably realised that the inner art was from Gremlins 2 and are hopefully changing it to artwork from the first film

 

[GoDo]

yeah, it'll probably have a picture of Mr Myagi

 

[GroundZero81]

Wtf the inside artwork is from gremlins 2 not the first film zavvi you guy's are really doing the most

 

[Lollard2002]

I think Zavvi are going steelbook OTT overload

 

[pmwhelan]

If you don't like what Zavvi are producing there are cheaper alternatives.

Yes amarays. This is a forum about steelbooks though.

The artwork I mostly saw was the spine. Sometimes the artwork can bug us to no end but you know what folks be happy that our retailers even bother to give us a different alternative.

So they can churn anything out onto a steelbook and we should be happy?

If you're not happy with the expensive steelbook artwork, don't rant about it and don't buy / pre-order it..

Not to get too cheesy here but I think we should aspire to better in all walks of life. Look at the Sixth Sense artwork. This forum criticised it so much that it was changed to a widely perceived better version.

I don't like moaning but constructive criticism can be excellent if it improves things.

Bear in mind that the back of UK blu-ray sleeves often include the runtime from the DVD (which includes PAL speed up) when the actual disc is long due to lack of speed up.

Haven't noticed that, but in this case (The Shining) the numbers quoted are actual Blu-ray on-disc feature running times.

But anyway, it would've been much preferable to have both of these catalog titles in one steelbook release. Well, we will probably get Gremlins 2 soon, at the rate Zavvi is churning them out

 

[Sigill]

Moved a few posts to The Shining thread here. Can we try and keep on topic please folks.

Well played Zavvi for taking notice again!!

 

[snooloui]

Fantastic news, well done Zavvi!

I thought the old inside artwork was fine. Just put the correct spike in it. Little more colorful
