Finally today, we’re going to be doing some much-needed server and software upgrades to The Digital Bits over the next month or two, and such things unfortunately don’t come cheap. So if you love what we do here and you’d like to help us cover the costs, we humbly ask that you consider making a one-time donation via PayPal (click here or on the Back The Bits button below) or subscribing to our Patreon. It really helps us to keep the site going in a time when so much of today’s online advertising revenue has moved to social media. But I know there are lots of you who still prefer and enjoy reading good longform text content—news columns, editorials, disc reviews, and whatnot—so please consider pitching in if you can, and just know how much we appreciate it. Thank you!
We’ll leave you today with a look at a few of the titles mentioned above, as well as a trio of forthcoming Kino Lorber Studio Classics catalog 4K titles, all with Amazon pre-order links if available...
Stay tuned...
