So the answer is to criticize a film that does get SE treatment? That's not directed at you in particular Mark, but at the general level of criticism by non-fans in this thread. The point is that every film, if it is being released, deserves at a minimum, 'decent' treatment at least in terms of presentation. (And yes, Columbia Tri-Star's treatment of the Apu films is shameful. It was very difficult for me to pass on those titles.)
While I do believe that production resources are finite, bitching about a film that you don't have any interest in is not going to do one thing to alter the business model of the studios. Perhaps it makes people feel better? If a discussion of the business decisions that affect the production resources of particular titles and the variability between titles is the desired direction of this thread that the naysayers wish to take then please start that discussion. Because I haven't seen that yet in this thread.
