Whatever happened to the Marty box set that was supposed to come out? I've been on the lookout with no luck.
no word on this lately?
for some reason i was thinking i read something about this earlier in the year and it was stating a possible Christmas 03 release. i guess this didn't pan out.
what's the word on the Mean Streets and Goodfellas SE's?
Quote from: In this thread http://xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=33&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=150 WithnailTONS of new Warner titles revealed:
http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/030904chatlist.html
In the most recent New York Times Review of Books, Richard Schickel reviewed a biography of Sidney Poitier. In the "about the reviewer" mini-bio, it stated that Schickel is working on a film about Martin Scorsese. Since Schickel put together the Charlie Chaplin DVD box set, this leads me to believe he is performing the same duty for a Scorsese box set. If the foregoing is true, then it is reasonable to surmise that SE's of Mean Streets, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, After Hours and GoodFellas are headed down the pipeline, perhaps in time to coincide with the theatrical premiere of The Aviator.
Release Date: August 17th
(From Another post)
From what I gather, Warners has a habit of sometimes releasing promo DVD art designed to look like keepcases, even though the eventual release will still be a snapper. Rest assured that unless a title is a 2-disc or more affair, it will be in a snapper. GoodFellas will probably in the usual Warner 2-disc slipcase/digipak packaging.

if it's $60 for the boxset, might as well get all of it.

No. Same discs that are in the box set, it's just that they are also sold separately.

on a related note, i was shocked and delighted to see that my mean streets: se did NOT have the goofy insert faces of keitel and deniro on it like the one on the picture of the previous page but rather the original art unobscured.

Just Buy the box set and then sell off New York New York to some sap who likes everything Scorsese does.
for some reason or another, they're playing new york new york at the mall multiplex for $1 two days after i leave for school. they NEVER show old movies there. i hope it's the start of a new trend. even if i won't be around to enjoy it.

i just noticed over in the casino thread that there's a 2 disc casino due out in june.... i think. perhaps in a boxset with who knows what
what would be in that boxset with it? color of money, cape fear, and kundun? i'd pass.
Quote from: ewardwhat would be in that boxset with it? color of money, cape fear, and kundun? i'd pass.
Color and Kundun are Disney/Touchstone. Cape Fear is Universal. His other films not supersized are Paramount and Columbia. No, Casino is not part of a box set.
right, i know, but i was just sayin there's no other films of his that are really worth the attention his greats have been gettin lately...

i don't think any of them are bad, but compared to his others they're worthless hackjobs.
Quote from: flagpolespecialcan anyone with the raging bull/new york/boxcar bertha/last waltz boxset clear something up for me please?
