Turns out I am leaving tomorrow after all, so I'll be around until tonight, then it's adios amigos.
I STILL can't find a certain book I have to have for my school's summer reading requirement, but a trip to Half-Price Books at least didn't leave me empty handed. I found 2 LT videos, one a PD and one an official. The first is called "The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote: Scrapes Of Wrath", a great little video, but worth no more than the 2.50 I paid for it simply because it only includes 5 cartoons...the Golden Jubilees had EIGHT, and most of the other WB released tapes I've seen have no less than 7. However, it's great quality, and has some of the best RR cartoons, plus a Bugs one:
"Whoa Be Gone"
"Guided Muscle"
"Rabbit's Feat"
"Stop! Look! And Hasten!"
"Hopalong Casualty"
The other, a PD video with no distributor made clear, simply titled "One Hour of Cartoons volume 2", with pictures of Bugs and Daffy on the front cover. Nicely packaged, and the film prints are excellent. It includes 3 cartoons I did not have., "Rookie Review" (blah, what a snooze!) "All this and Rabbit Stew!" (They couldn't show THIS on June Bugs? boy, they ARE strict) and "Daffy the Commando" (pretty dang funny! It also included a superman film called "Jungle Drums" (although unbilled, the box says it's "Foney Fables") and a Lantz film, "Boy Meets Dog". They have the opening cards removed, but it's not intrusive at all. Intead, they play the whole opening soundtrack over a freeze frame of each title card, then play the original credits and music to them. The end titles are chopped off too, but there's a "The End" card and the original music plays, including the Porky line where applicable. The prints are excellent quality, all of 'em, and the sound and tracking are wonderful. Complete contents:
"Fresh Hare"
"To Duck Or Not To Duck"
"Daffy the commando"
"Case Of the Missing Hare"
"Boy Meets Dog" (Lantz)
"Jungle Drums" (Fleischer)
"Bars and Stripes Forever"
"All This and Rabbit Stew"
"Rookie Review'
