New Line Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

In 1990, [[New Line Cinema]] established its own video label as '''New Line Home Video''' (later renamed '''New Line Home Entertainment''' in 2001) and started releasing its videos the following year through [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment#RCA.2FColumbia_Pictures_Home_Video|RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video]] (which became [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment#Columbia_TriStar_Home_Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]]) while Laserdisc releases were exclusively distributed by [[Image Entertainment]].

* On RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, Columbia TriStar Home Video, and Turner Home Entertainment releases, there is a still version of the logo before going to the Warning screen. The box and filmstrips look slightly different.

* A widescreen version of this logo's seen on such releases, like the 1994 Laserdisc releases of ''When Harry Met Sally'' and ''City Slickers''.

* An ''Amos and Andrew'' home video spot shows this next to the 1993 Columbia TriStar Home Video logo on a black background.

* Some tapes have the beginning of the movie's theme, such as ''Late for Dinner'' (plastering the 1989 Columbia Pictures logo) and ''National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1'', where the opening of the soundtrack begins at the end of the logo before going into the New Line Cinema logo.

* The screener and the UK VHS of ''Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins'' has part of the "Mortal Kombat" song by The Immortals.

* 1995-1997: "A Turner Company"

* 1997-2001, 2003-2010: "A Time Warner Company"

* 1999-2001: "A TIME WARNER COMPANY"

* 2001-2003: "An AOL Time Warner Company"

* 2004-2010: "A TimeWarner Company"

* Sometimes, this logo is bylineless.

* The first byline variants introduced, even the "Home Video" text versions plus the 2003 Time Warner byline had the original ITC Garamond Cond Book logo font. These versions were videotaped, running in fast 30fps for most of the time, and the text zooms in at 60fps; two byline variants, one being the second AOL byline variant, and the TimeWarner from 2004 onwards are filmed with a different font from the videotaped variants, with the text rapidly zooming in on the first filmed logo. 4:3 variants, except for the 2004 TimeWarner byline version, had a large field of vision, and the 16:9 variants were vertically cropped from their original formats. A widescreen version of the Turner variant was used on a few early 1997 DVDs in anamorphic widescreen such as ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'', ''Dumb and Dumber'' and ''Jackie Chan's First Strike''. DVDs in letterbox widescreen such as ''The Mask'' and ''Mortal Kombat'' use the regular full screen version.

* On VHS tapes and demo DVDs, there is a still of this logo seen before the Warning screen.

* On some VHS releases, about halfway through the animation, streaks of green appear through the blue glow. This can be found on the 1998 VHS of ''The Wedding Singer'' and the 1999 VHS releases of ''Pleasantville'' and ''A Nightmare on Elm Street''. However, the DVDs of all three (including a Warner Bros. Century Collection VHS reissue of ''Pleasantville'') use the standard variant.

* On some New Line Home Video releases, the Time Warner byline is in bold and in all caps. So far, this has been spotted on the DVD releases of ''Gummo'', ''8 Seconds'', ''Boogie Nights'', ''Magnolia'', ''Lost Souls'', ''Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'', ''Corinna Corinna'', ''Detroit Rock City'', ''Boiler Room'', ''Feeling Minnesota'' (the Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz comedy), ''Final Destination'' and the individual DVD releases of the ''Nightmare on Elm Street'' series (the original was released in 1999, 2 through 7 were released in 2000).

* There is one 4:3 version of the AOL Time Warner byline variant that has similar camera field of vision angle degrees as the 60p version of the logo. Another notable difference is that the byline is not near the bottom of the screen. This was spotted on the 2001 VHS reprint of ''Mortal Kombat''.

* On the 2003 byline variant, but not the recent variation prior to the logo's end, uses the Palatino font.

* A 4:3 anamorphically squished version of the widescreen variant of the New Line Home Entertainment logo (with the AOL Time Warner byline) appears on the full screen side of a 2003 repackaged 1997 DVD of ''Dumb and Dumber''.

* There are 4:3 cropped variants of the widescreen variants of the 2001 AOL Time Warner, 2003 Time Warner, and 2004 TimeWarner variants. The 2001 and 2003 variants can only be viewed in 4:3 mode on all DVD players, while the 2004 variant can be found on all 2004-2006 VHS releases.

* On a promo seen on the 2001 demo VHS of ''Dungeons & Dragons,'' the filmbox from the movie logo rapidly zooms in, crossfading to the print logo for New Line Home Entertainment, with the text in a different, narrower font in black on a white background.

* The Turner variant was used from 1995-97, starting with ''In the Mouth of Madness'', and also appears on some early DVDs such as ''Friday'', ''The Adventures of Pinocchio'', ''The Mask'', ''Dumb and Dumber'', ''Mortal Kombat'', ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (1990 film), ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'' and others.

* The 1997 Time Warner variant can be found on all VHS and DVD releases from 1997 to 2001 such as ''Spawn'', ''Rush Hour'', ''Pleasantville'', ''The Wedding Singer'', ''Blade'', ''Boogie Nights'', ''Lost in Space'' (1998 film), the first two ''Austin Powers'' movies and the ''Nightmare on Elm Street Platinum Series'' DVD box set. Some of the last releases to use the "HOME VIDEO" variant were ''The Little Vampire'' and ''Little Nicky''.

* The bold caps variant of the Time Warner byline can be found on the aforementioned titles above.

* The "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" variant replaces the "HOME VIDEO" variant on several repackagings of all pre-2001 DVDs such as ''Dumb and Dumber'', ''The Corruptor'', ''Boiler Room'', ''Rush Hour'', ''Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'', ''Mortal Kombat'', ''The Mask'', ''Blade'', ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (1990 film) and later copies of the ''Nightmare on Elm Street Platinum Series'' DVD box set (however, the disc labels and cases still use the New Line Home Video logo along with a 1999 copyright date).

* The AOL Time Warner variant can be found on several 2001-2003 VHS and DVD releases such as ''Sugar and Spice'', ''Rush Hour 2'', ''Austin Powers In Goldmember'', ''Blade II'', and the ''Lord of the Rings'' trilogy.

* The 2003 Time Warner variant can be found on the VHS releases of ''Freddy vs Jason'', ''Ripley's Game'', ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'', and ''Secondhand Lions''. It can also be found on some DVDs such as ''How To Eat Fried Worms'' and the 2005 DVD release of ''The Mask'', though it is unknown if the full-screen version seen on the aforementioned VHS releases appears on retail DVDs like the AOL byline.

* The 2004 TimeWarner variant can be found on the 2004 VHS releases of ''Elf and Blade: Trinity'', and most 2005-2010 DVDs such as ''Hairspray'' (2007 film), ''Blade: House of Chthon'', ''Running Scared'' (2006 film), and the 2006 Unrated DVD of ''Dumb and Dumber''.

* Some of the last VHS tapes to use this logo were the VHS releases of ''Raise Your Voice'', ''After the Sunset'', ''Son Of The Mask'', ''Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle'', ''The Man'', ''Wedding Crashers'' and ''A History of Violence'' (one of the last major Hollywood films to ever be released on the format). One of the last releases to use this logo overall was ''The Time Traveler's Wife'', while their final releases before they were folded into WHV were ''Semi-Pro'' and ''Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay'', and the still of the final Time Warner byline variant appeared on the ''Kill Shot: The Making of Final Destination 3'' documentary, also included on the Blu-ray release of ''Final Destination 3''.

'''Logo:''' We see the New Line logo form as usual; the details are quite improved, and the background light consists of many rays. The words are in Bank Gothic MD BT font, more silver, and in 3D. When the logo is formed, a very bright light flash occurs, making the words change to "HIGH DEFINITION".
