That is frequently true, as witnessed by studios who release in Europe but only license out here.

Well, for what it's worth, my apologies for helping perpetrate the discussion longer and for any part I played in veering it away from Titus in particular. As I said, I don't think there is anything left to say on either side.

I absolutely agree the discussion has run its course and need not be continued. But in all honesty, what is the purpose of any thread but to have a discussion. And that was always the point of this thread. It's not like it was highjacked from some other topic. I don't understand why people...

Then TT with their "limited editions" and "high" prices aren't keeping anyone from seeing these films, so what's the issue? But, as you said above, the films are easy to see even in HD, right? And no one is forced to buy from TT if they don't want to. No one is "forced" to buy anything but on...

I forgot you two had Bay Cities! I have you guys (I assume) to thank for the Funny Lady soundtrack that contains the original, superior version of "Great Day." The Arista remaster replaced it with an alternate version that I loathe.

No, I would venture to say that most, if not all, are just like me: they buy them because they want that film on blu-ray. We love the particular film; collectability has nothing to do with it.

How so? If the studios saw these as viable releases on their own, they would have released them instead of licensing them out to TT. Or they'll release them once the 3-year deal with TT is done. And, again, what's reasonable to you is not the same for everybody. To some of us, it's more...

Why? Are they unhappy with their current success?

Yes, but the difference is, the people who sing the praises actually BUY the discs. Many (or most) who whine, do not buy the discs. You'd think they just ignore it, but they don't. It's like people who complain about a TV show they never watch. I don't understand why they care.

But you are overlooking the very simple fact that if they struck a new HD transfer, loaded the release with extras and released it for $15-$20, they would sell hundreds of thousands and be as super rich as Criterion and the all the studios and the discs would FLY off the shelves and all their...

The Fury had multiple transfers. Titus does not. Are you saying TT should not have put it out because a new scan may happen at some unspecified point in the future? You may be okay with waiting, but I would rather have it now and double dip IF at some point the film's owners miraculously...

But that is exactly the point: Titus could NOT be better. They used the one existing transfer. It was THIS Blu-ray or NOTHING. If people want to just stick to upscaling the old dvd, they have that right. If someone wants to not buy the Blu-ray, they have that right. But if people are happy...

That simply isn't true for me. It is a noticeable step above the old dvd, so I am quite happy to have it. The other option was not to have it on blu at all. Anyone who thinks the $30 price is too high is free not to buy it. But they are not free to speak for all of us. Do I wish it was a...
