DVDs of Note
Time to look at forthcoming DVDs of note. MGM is planning to release the two Thunderbirds theatrical releases,
Thunderbirds Are Go! and Thunderbird 6, as a two disc set with lotsa extras. This comes out in July. Creepy marionette fun!
My pal Eric alerted me to forthcoming
Wonder Woman: Season One set. I think this was the year it took place during World War II. After that, the show was updated to the '70s, with the explanation that Lyle Waggoner was playing his own son from season one -- or something like that. And look, it has a commentary from Lynda Carter.
The one I'm most looking forward to is
Walt Disney Treasures: On the Front Lines, which finally comes out next month after a long delay. This set focuses on the Disney studio's output during the war effort. Highlights include the feature film
Victory Through Air Power and the Oscar-winning Donald Duck short
Der Fuehrer's Face. Expect lots of interesting propaganda rarely seen since the 1940s.

I'd buy that DVD set just for the marionette versions of Cliff Richards and the Shadows.
And the live-action Thunderbirds movie release this summer. I have mixed feelings about it since it appears they got the vehicles right, but totally missed the boat on the characters (Brain doesn't even wear glasses, fer krissakes). Hopefully, the CGI version of Captain Scarlett will hew a little closer to the original.
