Judging from ourselves, our friends, family and co-workers, there are a lot of Movies and Television shows that have yet not been committed to disc, or at least a decent non-PD version of it, including media from the last twenty or so years, which the latter wouldn’t interest me much.
I know many representatives of the major studios frequent this site, as well as many media distribution companies, such as MPI, which is a good thing, as they can get a general feel of what titles the Home Theater professionals, as well as the movie and television buffs that are members here, should consider giving a proper restoration to.
Even though the Home Theater is brimming with talented professionals in all arenas, there is only so much we can do on our own, even on a great site such as this.
Not trying to put anymore weight on site owner Ron's shoulders, which is a full time job in itself, but I notice HT has a Facebook page.
Would it be possible to pick a fairly recent non-released Movie or Television title that would be of interest to the forty-year-olds and younger (although plenty of oldsters frequent Facebook as well), something to get them into the groove of getting a never before released product released on some sort of disc, if that’s possible, as the younger generation may be more interested in streaming it, and, something that will be easy and cost-efficient for the powers that be to finally release, and start an unofficial release campaign?
Start an informal rally of sorts, by showing select clip(s) (from a hand-picked easy to di$tribute title), either supplied by YouTube or elsewhere, to get a general release, or a full restoration (with extras) ball rolling, on a $elect title.
If it works for that strategically picked title, try one or two more, to develop a strength in numbers release group, as they, and we, would see how easy it was for the previous title(s).
Perhaps then, would we be more likely to eventually inspire others to join in our older-classic choices.
In the process, it could heard a few of the younger generation here, wherein they would now be introduced to other older shows, that they weren’t previously aware of, and possibly add some number$ to our favorite shows, or, merely just gain more release to DVD/BR followers, or, new members in general?
As I’ve mentioned earlier, lots of people with the power to release such material to disc either lurk or post here.
If a site like HT can inspire some titles to finally be released, imagine what a site with the magnitude of Facebook could do.
This could make it easier for the powers that be to be coaxed into a more favorable decision, as it would unofficially lay out the potential profits in black and white for them, without removing one penny out of their research pocket, we’d do it for them…sort of a world-wide poll.
Oh well…maybe the upcoming Ozzie and Harriet restoration project will help open a door, and show that a restoration of any magnitude, even on much older, forgotten titles, could be a win-win for all involved.
Whatever the case, thanks forlistening reading this.
