I've read Mr. Epstein's wonderful recap of the EMA events and wish to congratulate all of the various attendees on participating in a very successful conference.
It sounds like the various studios as well as the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray groups treated their guests well and with respect. They are to be thanked for doing so. I hope that, despite any attempts at post-mortem controversy, they feel their efforts were worth it and that they are treated with the same respect they showed. Those of us who weren't able to go this time sincerely hope that HTF is invited back next year so that we can go.
Ernie Borgnine is a favorite of mine and I hope we read some stories about this 90 year old legend mingling with the membership. From all accounts he's a genuinely nice guy and quite a character.
I hope we also hear some reports from the Warners presentation, particularly in regards to any news about upcoming classic releases (hint Bowery Boys hint
). That was a very classy move on their part to distribute advance copies of the much anticipated Noir 4 set.
Welcome home all!
Steve
