20th Century Fox’s recent attainment of many of MGM’s
home video properties — which had bounced over to Sony in some
convoluted back catalogue purchase more rooted in contingency than cash
— means a finally re-scheduled release date for the long-awaited
special edition DVD release of A Fish Called Wanda. The title will bow on October 10. In further Fox-related news, a decked-out version of this summer’s The Omen will release on October 17 with deleted scenes and the like, alongside
a box set of all the previous films in the franchise.

Also, not to go
all Word-a-Day calendar on you, but who out there ever heard of the
word schwarmerei (pronounced shvair-muh-RYE), a noun meaning “excessive
or unwholesome sentiment?”
