Oliver, I think part of it is that I'm older now and have come to realize that my time on this earth is becoming shorter each day and I've accepted the simple fact that many of my favorite films will never be presented as I prefer them to be on home video. Sadly, the studios have failed big...
What you do with your hobby is your business and I didn't miss your point as I'm content with what I do with my hobby and have no problem with how you handle this great hobby. As I previously stated, my comments should not be taken as a criticism. I just rather be me when it comes to the hobby...

There was a vocal dissent about this BD being bad just like there was a vocal approval for this BD. How was I not being fair with my comment about "not in this lifetime" comment about the following:
I can't wait to see these BDs. As to sales, I'm not surprise that Zulu is behind those other two titles since many have bought the UK release like myself.
