Apparently in many cases never to be seen publicly again. Seems somewhat counterintuitive for publicly traded companies. However thin the margin, isn't exploitation worth exploring, using internal and/or external resources? Anyway, I've droned on long enough. David Zaslav's probably not...

So here's the existential question: For what exploitation -- if any -- would prints then be preserved? I'm all for preservation, but to what end if these films are not going to be available for home -- or at least convenient theatrical -- consumption...? In the case of 2D titles, that pretty...

Amen again. Like I said, there deserves to be (eventually) at least a conversation. All kinds of possibilities arise when people actually talk... and think a bit outside of the box. And this isn't just about 3DFA (though I've yet to learn of someone else who can do these on such a...

Amen.

All fair points. And at least we're having the conversation, aren't we? That's all anyone can ask.

Thank you, Joe, for bringing the thread back to the topic raised in the launch post. But I'm afraid we're not likely to get anywhere.... at least for the time being. For the record, I'm a big fan of George Feltenstein. With the launch of Warner Archive he not only unearthed dozens of catalog...

Thread's getting off track. If you look at the first post, it was about the lack of movement by WB toward releasing any of the balance of their classic 3D product. 2D wish lists should be ported over to the HTF's existing Warner Archive thread, IMHO. Then again, I think we've received our...

Pity. But, after all... it is their property, to do with -- or not -- as they see fit.

All some of us are saying is, we want at least some of those remaining WB and RKO 3D titles to get blu ray releases. If WB's initial answer is to be that they can't do so profitably via current practices and policies, will they not entertain alternatives?

Yes and I'm quite happy to have those initial WB 3D blu rays. But the whole point everyone keeps making -- on this thread and elsewhere -- is that, based on its own internal cost structures, WB finds it prohibitively expensive to prepare its remaining classic 3D titles for blu ray release...

Plenty of good arguments on all sides of this discussion. Me? I'm biased; I want all classic 3D movies unearthed from the vaults, with any means of profitable home-media exploitation to be considered. 3DFA has famously found quality -- frankly, labor-of-love -- workarounds to the (on the...
