From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment...
Larry, Moe and Shemp Keep the Laughter Flowing…
THE THREE STOOGES COLLECTION Volume Six: 1949 - 1951
24 More Fan Requested Digitally-Remastered Shorts,
Arranged Chronologically and Packaged in a Two-Disc DVD Set
AVAILABLE ON DVD JUNE 16
CULVER CITY, CALIF. (April 13, 2009) – Eye-gouging, nose-tweaking, stomach-poking, ear-pulling, head-slapping, pie-throwing, and seltzer-spraying can only mean one thing. The classic comedy trio of Larry, Moe, and Shemp are back doing what they do best. America’s favorite comedic trio continues tickling funny bones on June 16 when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment launches "The Three Stooges Collection Volume Six: 1949 – 1951." These fan requested short films, all digitally remastered and chronologically organized, include such classics as THE GHOST TALKS, THREE HAMS ON RYE and PEST MAN WINS. The sixth volume in this tremendously popular series will be available in a two-disc DVD set for $24.96 SRP.
The Three Stooges are one of the most influential screen comedy teams of the 20th century and have been an inspiration to generations of comics that followed. Following their start in vaudeville, the trio’s film career began in the early 1930s, reached its slapstick peak during their tenure at Columbia Pictures (1934-1957) and lasted well into the 1950s. After their initial retirement, they were rediscovered by an enthusiastic new generation through the medium of television and have surpassed all their contemporaries in terms of lasting popularity. Volume Six continues Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s long-running tribute to the comedic mastery of the Stooges, by tracing the evolution and development of their craft in films from 1949 – 1951 in progressive order.
"The Three Stooges Collection Volume Six: 1949 – 1951" episodes include:

You legend!
I must have a sixth sense. Believe it or not when i came here 2 minutes ago the time was stuck on 3:15pm so i refreshed to get to 6pm to check out if we have volume 6 news and in the mean time i went into "video eta". :o The Sony schedule is upto June 16th so any day now we should know if thats the correct date which im guessing it is as we have not been given an incorrect date yet.
I remember volume 3 was announced 10 days after volume 2 came out so this is pretty much the same thing.
-
Woo! Alright! :laugh:
-
Nice! This is like the short amount of time between Volumes 3 and 4!
-
Let's hope they keep it up for the final three or however many volumes. Wonder if they still plan to have the entire collection out by the end of '09... Would be quite a feat at this point (with the economy).
-
Wooooooooo Hoooooooooooo !!!!!! Can't Wait !!!!!
-
The best news of the day!

Maybe we should place bets on what color this one's gonna be ;D

Fantastic.....and released the day before my birthday!

You know, I didn't realize just how many of these Shorts hadn't made it to DVD before, and there are several that I don't have on VHS either, like Self Made Maids. Awesome!

SELF MADE MAIDS (1950)
SLAPHAPPY SLEUTHS (1950)
And, others that were on VHS from GoodTimes; but, never released by Columbia...
LOVE AT FIRST BITE (1950)

Yes indeed, which is why I have been looking foward to this Volume for awhile now. Alot
of my favorite Shemp shorts are in this collection. They include-
Who Done It?
Fuelin' Around
Vagabond Loafers
Dunked in the Deep (Bortch rules)
Dopey Dicks
Three Hams on Rye
Studio Stoops
Slaphappy Sleuths
A Snitch In Time
Three Arabian Nuts
Scrambled Brains
The Tooth Will Out
Sooo happy it's just a few months away!
-
Wow, this is going to be such a stellar set. Three Hams On Rye is such a forgotten classic short.
-
Yeah, not EVEN three months. Two and 3/4 from today :)
Any bets on set colors or front image? ;D
-
Im guessing the colour will be white and the image just your standard Moe, Larry and Shemp like they did with Moe, Larry and Curly.
I still cant believe that in June we'll have every short up to 1951, Sony have slowly but surely become one of my favourite studios. At this stage its Warner Bros for what they've done with the Looney Tunes.

I'll say this same image from the Fuelin Around VHS release:

Oooo, could be. How much ya wanna put down? ;D
But I dunno about the white color... Not sure if they'd do one of the blank hues (black/white/gray).
-
Any bets on set colors...
What about hot pink?

What about hot pink?
Ack, my eyes! xD
I dunno what it'll be... brown? Yellow? Orange? Another shade of a color we've already gotten? The primary palette is running a little thin =P
-
SONY just don't understand the passion of a Stoogephile! - But at least they are doing some worthwhile work in restoring/remastering all of the 190 Three Stooges shorts.
-
can't wait to see 2 of my favs remastered......scrambled brains and don't throw that knife
heeeep heeeeep heeeeep! ;D
-
Should probly get the press release and artwork within the next week and a half or so, if this set follows suit like the last one :)
-
Wow! This is terrific news! I have all but two (Hugs and Mugs & Scrambled Brains) on VHS, taped off the TV, & the quality of most of them is not real good, not to mention the fact that most of them have entire scenes deleted to make room for commericals. Plus, I'll also get to finally hear one of my favorite Shemp lines again - In Hugs and Mugs where he sits on the hot iron & says, "Smells like somebody's roasting a ham."
-
Even though this set hasn't been officially announced, it's still looking good. ClassicFlix.com also says that Sony plans to release this set on June 16th. Here's the link: http://classicflix.blogspot.com/2009/03/three-stooges-vol-6-in-june-special-3.html
I still can't believe how many rare shorts we will be getting in this volume. I've always wondered why Sony never released shorts like Self Made Maids, Slaphappy Sleuths and Baby Sitters Jitters before. Well, it's good we're finally getting it now.

Amazon also taking pre-orders for Volume 6 as of today! At $17.99 "I'm losing my mind!"

I've pre-ordered mine for $24 from there as it'll probably reach a price of over $37 again like volume 5 did. The Australian dollar is currently buying 71 US cents and 88 Canadian cents so it makes sense to buy it from Amazon.ca.
-
I'm not pre-ordering this time. Just gonna grab it in the store =P Hate waiting for shipping.

Last time, Amazon wasn't too bad. My Volume 5 DVD arrived only two days after release date. For $15.99 and free shipping, I'm not complaining.
BTW, in my case, June 16 is a very long time to wait. Between now and then, I have finals, graduation, and job hunting in this lousy economy. All of that will occur before I get to sit down and enjoy the new Volume 6 set.

This is such great news. Vol. 6 already. We're 1/2 way home now and getting all the rare Shemp stuff that's been so hard to find. I suppose the last volume with be all Besser, but even that will be good to have. Or maybe the 4 "AS" Shemps and Besser's. I also hope they included the Shemp, Besser and DeRita Columbia shorts too. I have copies of them, but not very good ones.
-
In the past few weeks, our local Stooges channel has shown (incomplete and cut, of course) quite a few of what we will receive in Volume 6. It'll be great to see "Slaphappy Sleuths" in full for the first time in decades, along with what the channel has also chopped out -- Shemp's famous "Ras banyas yatta benne fuchi ... June 22nd" from "Studio Stoops."

Light blue!!!! Sony rooked us! (http://www.classicflix.com/three-stooges-collection-1949-1951-p-8311.html) Guess they're saving Brown & Orange for the later volumes... and Pink for the Besser years :D

Nice! Looks like Sony is late with the press release. This same thing happened with Volume 5. But anways, it definitely looks officially. On the side you see pictures of "Self-Made Maids" and "Slaphappy Sleuths."
Can anyone figure out what short the front cover is from? It looks like "Three Hams On Rye," but I'm not 100% sure.

NICE!!! (Guess I should have figured out how to upload pics.) It does look great
Hard to believe that by June we'll have remastered versions of over 70% of all Stooge shorts, including ALL the Curlys and MOST of the original Shemps.

I think that picture is from The Tooth Will Out. They wore 19th Century style clothes in that one.
I love the cover for Volume 6, the light blue is nice and great pic's on the side also. Nice to see ones from Maids, Hames on Rye, Hula La La, Slaphappy Sleuths and many more. This set is going to rock.

Oh yeah, you're right! The picture is from "The Tooth Will Out." I haven't watched that short in a while, so I had a little memory block.
You're right. This set is going to rock. I'm not sure if I'm going to pre-order this one or buy it in the store. Amazon has it for $17.99 right now, but it may decrease later on, like Volume 5 did. I guess I'll have to sleep on it.

On Volume 5 what short is the picture with Shemp's head in the circle from?

Looks like All Gummed Up (and they're all pointing to the right!). It's from the same photo used inside the disc 2 case.

If that's the final cover, I absolutely love it. It just looks so good. Way better than the VOL 5 cover.
-
Awesome cover art! I can't wait to get this set. It will be a treat to see all of these Shemp episodes remastered. Most of these I've only seen on tv, cut, and with commercials.
-
I actually like the light blue color. It looks good. I guess the next two volumes after this will be orange and then yellow. Because the Joe Besser set will have to be pink.
-
LOL, I was only kidding about the pink, fellas. :laugh:
I hope Sony does not consider pink for any of the volumes.
-
Yeah, I was just kidding, too. But it is Joe Besser, you know.
-
Haha, oh jeez... ::)

Good to hear. I thought people here took me seriously. But if Sony does indeed decide to use pink, then yeah, use it for the Besser volumes.

That's a slap in the face to Moe and Larry. At least they tried. I'd say make it mauve. Not quite pink, but good enough for Besser.

I can go along with that. :D But hey, I mean no disrespect to Moe or Larry. I've always liked the Joe Besser shorts. However, I do like to joke around about it. I'd like to think they had a sense of humor about it. Sense of humor? What am I saying? The Stooges invented humor. At least our kind of humor. [pie]
-
That's a slap in the face to Moe and Larry. At least they tried.
Yeah, they did. That's why I'd prefer that they don't use it at all. Sony should avoid pink at all cost.
-
As i said in the schedule thread volume 6 is on Sony's schedule for June 16th so that is confirmed. All we need now is a press release.
-
Amazon now has this up for pre-order for $16.99.
-
I got an email from Shop Knuckleheads inviting pre-orders on Volume 6, but they want $19.99. Amazon is $3 less, as xraffle noted. I still like Shop Knuckleheads' selection for t-shirts, etc.
-
Amazon has a bundle special where you can order all six volumes together for $96.99. That's about $16.99 per single set.

If you order early, you're guaranteed the lowest price that it was offered for between then and when it ships.
Inflation tends to follow in a liberal government [pie] :P
It also tends to follow "conservative" governments, too. It's what happens when people are foolish enough to let a government get away with creating a central bank (the Fed is privately owned, btw) that can create "money" out of thin air without anything to back it. The dollar today is worth less than 5% of what it was worth in 1913, when the "Federal Reserve" was created.
Considering the trillions of "dollars" that the Fed has created out of thin air over the past few months, don't be surprised when we start seeing hyper-inflation in the near future. Think Zimbabwe (http://www.tomchao.com/hb28.html):

At the time I made that post, I had it pre-ordered for $16.99, but I had to cancel it just now. It's a long story, but I'll try to make it as short as possible. I had a $25 gift card, so I pre-ordered Volume 6 with a movie to get free shipping, but the movie I ordered it with just went down in price by $5. Also, another DVD I wanted to get is now on sale. So, I had to cancel my Volume 6 order and instead I ordered the movie that went down in price along with the other DVD that's on sale. This mess wouldn't have occured if Amazon would just keep their prices stable. On all their DVDs, their prices fluctuate by the hour. So, I'll just buy Volume 6 at the store for $20 on June 16th. With all the new Shemp shorts we're getting, paying another $3 is worth it. Besides, the money I saved on the two movies will offset the extra $3 I'll pay for Vol. 6.
-
How many of you guys will be seeing some of these shorts for the first time? A few of them have had little or no home video releases and were part of the "missing 60" (When was the last time that term was used?), on AMC years ago.
HUGS AND MUGS is a great one, good for Christine fans.
-
I've seen them all, but the two shorts I'm excited about are "Slaphappy Sleuths" and "Self-Made Maids."

I've been known to state that all politicians deserve to be shot on sight, but I suppose that's a tad extreme. Most probably don't really deserve anything worse than tarring-and-feathering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarring_and_feathering) and being ridden out of town on a rail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riding_the_rail). ;)
I used to buy into the whole "Republicans" versus "Democrats" malarky, but I know better these days. As Jesse Ventura pointed out, politicans are like professional wrestlers: they will put on a public show of being mortal enemies, but as soon as the cameras are off and they are out of the public view they are all good friends.
The only difference between politicians and the Mafia is that the Mafia are far more honest.

Thanks...you answered my previous questions I posted about where I should start to collect all of the episodes. I'm a new collector but a very old fan!

The only thing wrong with the box art is they've got "Punchy Cowpunchers" under 1949.

That was released January 6, 1950 so it would've been filmed in 1949, but even then it should be under 1950.

I wonder if this is one of those cases like the whole deal with "Flat Foot Stooges" being out of order. As it turned out, the books were wrong. I wonder if it's possible that the short was released sometime in December 1949?
-
Dopey Dicks is a 3 Stooges short that seems like it should have been released earlier because it has the first intro with Shemp when he returned.
-
Hello, was the release date moved forward? I just got a shipping notification.
-
Must've just gotten their stock in already. I just checked online, and my local Best Buy's already have their stock. Gonna go ahead and pre-order for store pickup... who knows, maybe they'll let me have it now! :o

All stores get their stock before the release date, but they're not supposed to sell it yet. However, some stores break street dates when they shouldn't.
-
Yeah, I ordered it for pickup and thought maybe they'd not really know any better and lemme have it early, but nope, looks like they're holdin it til release date (which is only right, of course).
-
I remember when I ordered volume 5 from Amazon.ca (Canada) and they shipped mine out to me (in Australia) 5 days before the release date and I got it before the release date. Hopefully something like that happens again. ;D
-
Where did you order it from? I haven't gotten anything from Amazon.
For the last 2 volumes I used amazon via the link on this site. This time I tried dvdpacific as I was ordering another item from them.
edit - Received on June 6th, but it'll be while before I get to view it.
-
I usually get them at Wal-Mart. Always available on the day of release for $19.99. After all the money I spent on old DVDs, paying $20 for 3 years of shorts at a time is nothing. Really looking forward to this set, all those new to DVD shorts!
-
I just placed my pre-order today. I did originally order it much earlier, but I had to cancel it for reasons mentioned on my earlier post (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?topic=3016.msg22000#msg22000). The shipping estimate for my order is June 22nd. I'll see you guys then. ;D
-
I just ordered volume 6 at amazon.com and if you enter the code SONYPIC3 in the promotional code box during checkout, it knocks three dollars off each Stooges title you order. It also works for volumes 1-5 which are currently listed at 14.49. So if you buy all six volumes, you're getting them at 11.99 per volume. Not too shabby.
-
I just checked my order on Amazon.ca and its "Shipping Soon" :o Shocked because its like that 6 days before the release date.
Hopefully its dejavu (having volume 5 before the release day on the other side of the world) and it ships tomorrow. ;D Best day for it too with the conversion rate being at 89 Australian cents to the Canadian dollor. This will be the cheapest set yet for me. And yet, with the quickest shipping to get it in Australia within 2-3 days, i still managed to pay $66 for one item.

Bought mine today at Costco for 14.99 (they had like 10 copies of each volume in the series) Cancelled my order at amazon due to the fact they still had a June 18th delivery date.

Same with mine, but I don't care. It'll be here in another week, which is when I've been expecting it for months, and "old age" has taught me to be patient. (Beside that, the nearest Costco is 30 miles away, and in a direction that I don't usually go anymore.) ;)
-
Mine is not shipping soon yet either.
-
No guarantee anyone else's Costco has the new volume out on the shelf, just gotta go check it out.

I just went to Costco last week and didn't see any Three Stooges DVDs. Not sure about this week though. I only go to Costco once a month, so I won't be going back there in a while. I'll just wait for my order to come, even if Amazon takes a while to ship it.
-
I work there, the release date was moved up a week like someone else mentioned on this site and tuesdays are always the day of the week for new releases (and others) . We received Volume 4 as well (with the others along with it) but we did not get Volume 5 so I preordered from amazon, but saw all of them on Tuesday the 8th (related to Henry The Ache?) and did not want to wait the extra week (being a lifelong Shempaholic like I am) for all the great shorts on this collection. No guaranteee we will get each volume, (I try to check in the computer to see usually) But If I know we are getting them in I'll make a report here for people like myself who hate to wait for the mailman to commeth!

I let the wife and kids know the release date and what it looked like. It should arrive on Father's Day... ;)

I went to Costco today and sure enough, there it was with all the other sets. All of them $14.99 each.
-
None of the ads in yesterday's paper showed the Stooges in the listings or pictures of DVDs coming out tomorrow. Not Best Buy, not Sears, not anyone. BOOOOO!

-

No lie indeed. Just picked up mine. $15. I think I know where I'm getting the remainder of the volumes from now on!
-
Im watching "Ghost Talks" which is a short i've seen many times but before today i had no idea that Shemp gave the spirit a cigarette. I love these collections. [cheer]
-
I went to my local Wall Mart after work this afternoon, and they had 3 copies left on the shelf.
Good thing I went when I did, I was afriad they would all be gone by the time I got there.
Looking foward to watching several shorts tonight.
-
I saw Volume 6 at Best Buy today and this time, it's right there in the New Release section. Other times, I've seen them hidden in the Comedy section on the first day. They had about 5 copies for $19.99.
-
I just finished the set, wow that was great. I watched about 15 of the shorts for the first time, probably my favourite set of the first 6 with the most laughs.
-
I've watched "The Ghost Talks" through Slap-Happy Sleuths since I picked up my copy at Wal*Mart yesterday. Definately as good as Volumes 3 and 4 in terms of quality shorts. I have never noticed the country called "Woo-Woo" on the map in "Malice In The Palice," and I noticed that the operators in "Dopey Dicks" and "Studio Stoops" sounds an awful lot like Christine McIntyre, who appears in both of those shorts. Is that her?
-
Got my Volume 6 set yesterday, and watched them all right away. They are excellent. I'm really looking forward to completing the entire collection. Its been a long time in coming, but they are doing it right. I figure there should be three more sets total. Two more Shemp's and one Besser. I've heard they also will include some of Shemp's and Besser's solo Columbia shorts. I have all of those, but not good quality. So those would also be a welcome addition.
-
Further dispelling the notion that Shemp won't sell, Vol 6 is a top 50 selling DVD on Amazon and a top 10 seller at DVD Empire and Deep Discount DVD. With sales like that, it would be a surprise not to see Vol 7.
-

I'm looking forward to Volume 7. That volume will only have 3 shorts that are NOT new to DVD and those will be the last ones. Volumes 8 and 9 will all be new to DVD.
BTW, someone noted earlier that "Punchy Cowpunchers" is listed under 1949 on the back cover. Well, on the slim case, it's correctly listed under 1950.
-
I wonder what they will do with the last volumes. It looks like volume 7 with be 52-54 and 8 will be 55-57(mostly remakes). This leaves a volume 9 with a lot to be desired as it would only include the years 1958 and 59. I just dont see how an all Bessier volume that only contains two years of shorts would work. Maybe they can include some of the films with Curly Joe on a separate disk. Anyone know if thats the plan?

That's great news False, Vol 6 has been so much fun. It's about time we got all these Shemp shorts on DVD.
I can't wait for Volume 7.
I've heard they may throw in Shemp and Joe Besser's Columbia Solo Shorts for the last 2 Volumes, which would be awesome
because A. They have never been released on video and B. They would be restored and in great video quality.
-
I just finished watching Volume 6 today. With the exception of the audio clip in "Slaphappy Sleuths," I only found one flaw. In "Dunked In the Deep," there is a slight skip when Bortch bangs on the table and the salami flies into Shemp's mouth.
-
Watched Fuelin Around for the first time in a long time. It was better than I remembered it. A fast-paced and high octane effort. The opening scenes where they lay the rug may well be the highlight of the short, though the lab scenes aren't far behind.
-
On the back of the Dokey Dicks vhs it says that Dokey Dicks is a 1949 short.
Does anyone think that Sony will release a complete 3 stooges dvd box set with all 190 shorts after all of the 2 discs volumes sets are released?
-
I believe the final shorts will be grouped as follows:
Volume 7: 1952-1954 (22 shorts)
Volume 8: 1955-1956 (16 shorts)
Volume 9: 1957-1959 (16 shorts)
Or 1955-1959 could be all in one volume with 32 shorts on 2 double-sided DVDs.
Volume 6 is selling exceptionally well on Amazon.com, so Volume 7 is likely.
-
Or 1955-1959 could be all in one volume with 32 shorts on 2 double-sided DVDs.
Oh, please no! I'll pay the extra money for four discs. But please, Sony! No double-sided discs!
-
Oh, please no! I'll pay the extra money for four discs. But please, Sony! No double-sided discs!
I'm with you. I don't want anything to do with double-sided discs.
-
Another way they could do it, and finish it up with only 2 more volumes, would be to make Volume 7 cover 1952-1955, and Volume 8 would be 1956-1959.
That way, Volume 7 would be Shemp's last 4 full years, and Volume 8 would be Shemp's 4 1956 shorts before his death, the 4 Joe Palma shorts, and lastly, the Joe Besser shorts.
Now that were getting to the weaker and less popular shorts, an added year to each set may help improve sales a bit.
-
Here's my idea for the last few volumes:
The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 7: 1952-1954 which should include both the 2-D and 3-D versions of "Spooks" and "Pardon My Backfire." And a few pairs of 3-D glasses would be nice, too. This would be a great selling point.
The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 8: 1955-1957 which finishes up the Shemps and goes into the first year of Joes. Yes, another crossover collection, but the main picture would be of Moe, Larry & Shemp, with a small picture of Joe Besser on the front with the notation "also includes Joe Besser" just like they did for the Curly to Shemp crossover.
The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 9: 1958-1959 would finish up the Columbia Shorts and would also include solo shorts from Shemp Howard and Joe Besser.
The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 10: The Feature Films would be a nice way to finish these sets. It would include: "Rockin' In The Rockies," "Have Rocket, Will Travel," "Stop! Look! And Laugh," "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules," "The Three Stooges In Orbit," "The Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze," and "The Outlaws Is Coming." This could also include Joe DeRita's Columbia shorts as bonus features.
Now, is all of this too much to ask? :-\
-
I for one just don't want to see a change in the box set conformity. That is, I DON'T wanna see one of the last volumes be four discs, or double-sided discs, when the ENTIRE rest of the set has been the same way. No, no, NO! I too will pay the extra money to have separate sets. And if Sony is worried about lower sales of the final volume with Joe Besser, just don't print out as many initially. DON'T SHOVE IT ALL TOGETHER INTO ONE EYESORE OF A SET, PLEASE!!!
-
I agree that each set should be 2 discs, just like the previous sets. I'd like to see the sets be all *alike*. My idea in my last post is good for that, except for the feature films. Perhaps we should go up to volume 12 or something. Have 2 disc sets all the way through "The Outlaws Is Coming." But at some point, I'd like to see Shemp, Joe and Curly-Joe solo shorts. They could continue the years thing and have a set of 1958-1960 with the rest of the Joes and 2 feature films: "Have Rocket Will Travel" and "Stop! Look! And Laugh." then, the next volume could be 1961-1965 and include the last 4 feature films in a 2 disc set.
I dunno, I'm sure they'll do us right. They have so far. But I must make one thing clear: I don't want double-sided discs!
-
Wow, I didn't think having more than 2 discs in a set would be a problem for anyone. I, personally, think having one volume with 3-4 discs is better than double sided discs or cramming so many shorts on a single-sided disc. Looks like Sony has a tough call to make on the last two volumes as each person seems to want something different. So, it seems like we're going to have a few dissatisfied fans no matter how Sony handles it.
-
You want a thicker volume out of nowhere at the end? I'd rather have volumes that conform to the layout we've had all along thus far, regardless of how many volumes it takes. Better that (imho) than to have a nice row of volumes that all look great, and then this fat volume at the end that sticks out like a sore thumb...
I really dunno if they are considering releasing the solo shorts of either Shemp or Besser, nor the feature films. I'd be perfectly content with them just putting out Volume 7: 1952-1954, Volume 8: 1955-1957 (with the crossover into Besser's just as they did for Shemp, as was already opinionated above^), and lastly Volume 9: 1958-1959 (either with or without any bonus materal, be it solo shorts or a couple feature movies, packed on, or not).
I just like things ORGANIZED and all in sync. Thus far, Sony's done BRILLIANTLY in that regard... I don't wanna see an awkward, fat volume bookending this great series, not horrendous double-sided discs cramming everything together.
Again, I WILL PAY FOR THE EXTRA VOLUMES, just keep it conformed. That's my $0.02 anyway.
-
I dont know if this has been discussed, I know about the audio dropout on the opening theme of some of the shorts, but did anyone catch the one in Punchy Cowpunchers? Right after Shemp drinks the sour milk, and does those sounds with his mouth, one of the Dillons turns around to another and you could see him saying something to him, the audio picks up something but you can barely hear what was said. Was that an audio dropout or was it original like that, on TV etc?
After watching all these Shemps upto now, volume 5-6, I think Punchy Cowpunchers is one of my favourites.
-
I cannot remember if I heard that there will be no bonus features on any of the remaining volumes. I know that some footage was shot of the supporting players at the Hollywood Collectors show back in 2007. Wasn't that Sony doing that?

Oh, that's why people don't want that. It will ruin the consistency of the packaging. Well what if they have a four disc set, but package two discs in one slim case? That way, you'll still get two slim cases. I've bought some TV shows with that kind of packaging and they're ok, but they're more fragile though. So, that may not be such a good idea.
And if Sony does make the last volume thicker, this isn't the first time this was done with a TV show. Look at the Looney Tunes sets. The first few volumes are thick, then the packaging became thinner after that. Same goes for Popeye. The first volumes was four discs and then the second volume was two discs.

Yeah, that's like my sets of "The Dukes Of Hazzard." Every set is a different thickness. Kinda looks weird on the shelf.

The Stooges are still pulling in big bucks for the studios and powers that be. Decades after they all passed away. Don't ever let anyone say that they are "minor comics" again!

Just because the practice has been done doesn't mean it's GOOD. Especially not for our beloved Stooges!
-
Package it in a paper bag covered in dog shit and I'd still buy it. I wouldn't let something minor like packaging deter me from buying a feature-packed final Volume.
I just hope they do the original plan and include the Shemp and Besser solos.

Remember about two years ago, when we didn't have any remastered, restored, and released in chronological order sets of the Stooges?

[thumbsup2] I agree with you both. I'd rather have a thick final volume with beautifully restored shorts than have one with consistent packaging, but lacks in picture/sound quality. As long as all 190 shorts are released unedited and restored on single-sided discs, then I'm happy.
-
Can no one read entire posts on here or something?
When did anyone, including myself, ever argue that we want everything CRAMMED onto one last volume, via either dual-sided discs or poor quality?... In fact, I'm quite sure I argued AGAINST that.
As I said, I'd prefer MORE NUMEOUS volumes that kept with the style and organization of all the volumes thus far rather than one fat, jumbled, awkward box.
Conformed box sets, AT THE SAME QUALITY AS THUS FAR, even if it takes 10 volumes. That is what I, for one, want. NOT crap quality, NOT double-sided discs.
Where's the miscommunication?... [pie]
-
Whether it's 10 volumes or 20 volumes, I can't wait until I have all of them. These sets are so awesome! The best films of yesterday meet the technology of today. ;D
-
Im glad one of my first posts sparked this much response. It will be interesting to see how they handle this but I agree that double sided disks are out. Id like some conformity but if they wanna throw in a third disk on the last volume I dont think Id have a problem with it as it will probably cost less than buying a seperate set for those final shorts which will be interesting to watch but never make it to the regular rotation in my dvd player.
-

Assuming Sony follows the same three year pattern as the previous volumes, the last few volumes will look like this:
Volume 7- 1952-1954 (2 discs)
Volume 8- 1955-1957 (2 discs)
Volume 9- ??
I'm not sure how Sony will handle the last volume. It could be either 1958-1959 (1 disc) or they could make Volume 8 cover years 1955-1959, but that will require 3 discs. Either option will cause some kind of inconsistency in packaging. The only way Sony can maintain the same 2 disc volumes is to include the solo shorts, which is what the rumors are saying, or to add a couple of Curly-Joe movies to Volume 9.
-
I like the idea of including the solo shorts, and having it as:
Volume 7, 1952-1954 (2 discs)
Volume 8, 1955-1957 + Shemp solos (2 discs)
Volume 9, 1958-1959 + Joe solos (2 discs)
OR (if it fits better):
Volume 7, 1952-1954 (2 discs)
Volume 8, 1955-1957 (2 discs)
Volume 9, 1958-1959 + Shemp & Joe solos (2 discs)
Or even still:
Volume 7, 1952-1954 (2 discs)
Volume 8, 1955-1957 (2 discs)
Volume 9, 1958-1959 (2 discs, split up one year per disc. I know they'd be relatively brief discs, but they could just run it for a cheaper price. May actually help sales at that.)
Just ideas...
-
^ I like the "Or even still:" option the most. I think these sets should only include the shorts, not features/solos. Those should be left to its own collection.
-
After typing that out and thinking about it some more, I think I agree. Having JUST the shorts has been how it's been all this time, and I don't see any reason to change that up. And yeah, why not do the solos and features on their own collections? If Sony keeps up with the great restoration work and everything, I think sales would still be respectable!
-
I have to agree with this. Just the shorts. The 190. That's really all we need in these sets. Another set with the Shemp Howard, Joe Besser & Joe DeRita shorts would be an excellent idea. The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 11: The Solo Shorts.
Then, we could have another box set of features. How about The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 12: The Feature Films. This should include all of their starring features at Columbia: "Rockin' In The Rockies," "Have Rocket Will Travel," "Stop! Look! And Laugh," "Three Stooges Meet Hercules," "Three Stooges In Orbit," "Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze" and "The Outlaws Is Coming."
How about that for some great box sets?
-
Volume 9, 1958-1959 (2 discs, split up one year per disc. I know they'd be relatively brief discs, but they could just run it for a cheaper price. May actually help sales at that.)
I just got an idea. How about Volume 9: 1958-1959 with extras? Disc 1 contains the shorts and Disc 2 contains a whole mess of special features.
-
Just random special features from throughout all the years? I suppose it COULD work, but what kind of features?
I think I like the idea of just the plain-Jane shorts on this collection. But again, extras COULD work, if they were worth it.
-
I'd prefer sets with just the short subjects, myself. That's all these sets really need, anyway. As for the final volume of short subjects, the solo shorts should be included. I'm in favor of the release of *all* of the Columbia short subjects. So, the shorts with Shemp Howard, Joe Besser and Joe DeRita would be a perfect fit with the Three Stooges series. That's where the fan base is for stuff like that.
Once all the Three Stooges and related short subjects are released, I'd like to see more Columbia short subjects from other actors. Like the Charley Chase series. That would be one that we all should support. And some of the others that had short subjects like Andy Clyde, Harry Von Zell, etc. would be great on DVD.
-

I don't know. But I'm sure there has to be something they can use for extras since the previous volumes didn't have anything on them. How about that commentary with Shemp Howard? :laugh:

Whaaaa? lol
I'm thinkin' they weren't really looking as far ahead with special features back in the 30's and 40's as they do today... I think the majority of what we'd get is today's filmmakers talking about their opinions and inspirations from the Three Stooges films... no thanks.

Yeah, there's something similar to that on The Marx Brothers Collection. Leonard Maltin gives a commentary on "A Night At The Opera." Well, that one's not too bad. But there's some British guy who apparently authored a book on the Marx Brothers that gives a commentary on "A Day At The Races." That guy was boring! He just went on and on about the Tootsie-Fruitsie joke from the beginning of the movie until Groucho told the joke. Then, he just laughed. Then, when it got to the musical part, he said that he wasn't going to watch it and was silent for about 5 minutes. Totally not worth it.

Wow thats hilarious, the guy they picked to do commentary wouldnt watch the musical part. Doing any type of commentary or documentary as a special feature for the stooges would be all kinds of awful.

I was just kidding about the commentary part. The reason I said that was because someone brought that up months ago about having a Shemp Howard commentary and Metaldams replied saying that would scare the shit out of him. I laughed like crazy when I read that because he's got a point, LOL. I can't find the post right now, but if/when I do, I'll edit this post and add the link in.
Personally, I usually hate commentaries because you can't listen to the movie and all that person does it waste time rambling on about nonsense.

They could put interviews from the Three Stooges' family on the dvds. Maybe Moe Howard's grand children or someone elses.
-
Meh... What are they gonna say that most of us who'd be interested in special features don't already know, or haven't seen on other documentaries already?... The more I think about it, the more I prefer shorts only.
BUT HEY, that's just me.

Oh yeah. I was the one that said we could have Shemp Howard do the commentaries. However, wouldn't it be weird if someone just happened to record Larry commenting on one of the Stooge films he used to show when he was in the Motion Picture Country Home? Now that would be interesting.
But to have Shemp doing a commentary on an episode would really be weird.
Since we're talking about bonus features, has anyone found any easter eggs on the Stooges DVD's? I haven't seen any, but you never know.

I think many of you fellas are just too hopeful of the idea that they had cameras and mics running off of screen time, and that they saved any of this footage. That's 90's/2000's mentality. This was the 30's through 50's... I'm not saying archive, behind-the-scenes footage is IMPOSSIBLE, just highly improbable. I'm pretty sure they weren't thinking ahead to DVD bonus feature material potential... And you have to remember, at the time, the studios hardly let the Stooges do barely more than hang in there making films, so you really think they'd care to record/save any extra material from the guys? I'd be truly amazed if there was more than 5-10 minutes of meaningless footage/audio from the guys during the golden years still in existence.
If they did put on special features, I'd be much more willing to bet it's, as said, current filmmakers giving their insights and opinions about the Stooges work (no thanks) or 70s documentary footage we've already seen of reflections of the times (meh).
I'd love for there to be Stooges "deleted scenes" and "how we do the sound effects" type featurettes and crap... but that just was NOT the way of the times... It was ROLL, CUT, PRINT, DONE. This is why I personally don't see any hope for the existence of genuinely worthwhile bonus materials for these sets.
-
yes they SHOULD have had bonus features for each short
such as - Fact tract - states info about the short - locations what used on before and etc
and the movie posters for each short
