Ken Russell’s _The Devils_. Warner Brothers has been embarrassed by this film since it’s initial release, and it’s only currently available via a bootleg that crops the 2:40 widescreen photography to 1:85. The studio has been touring a digital projection print as of late, though, so it’s possible they have plans to finally release it. It would also be cool to get a commentary track from Russell, who is rumored to be of poor health. ---

[Project G.e.e.K.e.R.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115324/) just fyi, The rest of Rocky and Bullwinkle is coming as well, a full 5V set and Vol 5 alone. I’m over the moon because I have a copy of Adam’s Woman, [Warner Bros](http://www.wbshop.com/Warner-Archive/EXCLARCHIVE,default,sc.html) has a dvd on demand area, and [Sony Columbia](http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/columbiaclassics/screen-classics-by-request/) has a similar section on their website. They aren’t beautiful boxed set with lots of features and commentary, but if you just want the dvd, it’s awesome. ---

> [@ShallowEnd](#): > > just fyi, The rest of Rocky and Bullwinkle is coming as well, a full 5V set and Vol 5 alone. Thanks for the good news about the stand-alone Season 5 set. I read a review of the new box set just a couple of weeks ago that said that would be the only way to get Season 5. I’m happy to see that it was wrong! ---

> [@Spiff](#): > > “The Day The Clown Cried” Heh, heh, heh. The ONLY DVDs I’ve ever bought right out of the chute were \*Let the Right One In \*and _Venture Bros._ Seasons 2 and 3. I’m not chomping at the bit right now, though I probably would be if \*London After Midnight \*ever showed up. (By all accounts, it really wasn’t that much of a movie, but still.) ---

> [@Capitaine\_Zombie](#): > > ??? I’m in a zone 2 country too, and I saw both Grindhouse movies, with the fake trailers, on a zone 2 DVD. Far as I’m aware, they’ve only been released on a zone 2 DVD as two separate movies - not the joint edition I’m after. I’ve just checked Amazon UK again, and that does seem to be the case. I read somewhere that a zone 2 blu-ray disc was available with both movies together, but I don’t have a blu-ray player, so that’s not much help to me. ---

> [@pancakes3](#): > > MTV’s Daria [Daria: The Complete Animated Series](http://www.amazon.com/Daria-Complete-Animated-Tracy-Grandstaff/dp/B0019N8P2W/). Saw it in Best Buy last week. I believe they had to replace a lot of the non-original music (no one bothered to reserve the home-video release rights back then), but at least you can get the show. Unfortunately, it’s looking like they’ll never bother to release a complete **Sifl & Olly** collection. Already have the unreleased Season 3 DVD, but I want all that early stuff! ---
