Geek Alert! The Warner Archive.


My wife just brought this to my attention. Warner Brothers has started a made-to-order DVD program, The Warner Archive, where all sorts of cool stuff can be yours — stuff the general populace has little or no interest in.

The list of titles (the initial listing is 150 films) is pretty impressive. Darby's Rangers. Westbound with Randolph Scott, directed by Budd Boetticher. Doc Savage. Wichita with Joel McCrea directed by Jacques Tourneur. And more.

All are in their proper aspect ratio. Wichita, for instance, has its CinemaScope all 16x9'd.

People, this is a good thing.

And for a limited time, the discount code XB392 will get you 25% off. Basic shipping's free these days, too.

No, I disagree about this being "a good thing". The Warner Archive releases are cheapo DVDR that you get charged a small fortune for. If these were factory pressed DVDs, I'd buy some of them. DVDR? I"ll pass thanks.
