Okay - after the last 3 Blu-ray discs from Fox that I have bought - Young Frankenstein, Futurama-Bender, and Conquest-Apes, I AM OFF FOX BD TITLES. Having both an up-to-date Samsung BD-1200 standalone player and LG GGC-H20L with PowerDVD Ultra 7 (both also up-to-date), that do not play the...

Hello, Mr. Harris; Granted, this is a long shot, but do you foresee another opportunity to go back and revisit your restoration of Abel Gance's Napoleon, and have it issued in a presentation eventually suited for current DVD (or Blu-Ray) standards? Could it again see light of day under...

This e-mail was posted at Perez Hilton (I know, I know...): Is this accurate, and if so what led to the takeover - legal issues with LOTR, or poor box office as of late (Golden Compass, Be Kind Rewind, etc.?) Sad if this is actually happening...
