So, we have My Fair Lady and West Side Story which are both 'maybe's. Neither is perfect, but neither is truly awful either - both are 'acceptable'
Several people are using these as examples that 'quality no longer matters', and therefore Blu Ray is doomed and over.
And yet, there are many 'quality' releases that are coming out, but of films not quite the stature of these. So I'm not sure what this means.
Did we have too high of expectations for these 'crown jewels'?
Plus we have the Mysterious Island issue - where a company decides that there isn't a demand for classic movies and gives distribution to another company who charges double the going rate (and therefore decreases demand - a self-fulfilling prophesy).
I'm just very confused. I've only been into Blu-Ray for about a year, and my head is spinning.
