Well, at least I am relieved that I seem fine with the PAL speedup issue. It's not that glaring (yet?) that I cannot enjoy the show. I notice it here and there, and sometimes only if I concentrate more on it. So right now, not a deal breaker. However, I'd still probably buy a US collection if there was ever a nice one like this.

Yesterday I got the PAL discs of THE BLACK CAT and THE RAVEN. I played a good chunk of both of these, and I'd say I notice the speedup but again, it doesn't kill the movies for me. While THE RAVEN visually looked about the same as I'm used to on the R1 release, I could swear that THE BLACK CAT looked really good, maybe better on R2 than the R1 version (this was the stand-alone release). I don't know if this is the same print used or not, but I did like the UK copy better. I guess others' mileage may vary.

Today I received the R2 discs of DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS and FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN.
