    Please don’t put words in my mouth. I have not offered my opinion as to whether or not I like these editions. I have not provided a personal opinion that I’ve asked you to share with me. I’m neither excited nor disappointed by your opinion of the disc.

    What does fine even mean in that context? Legally and contractually, Cameron has the right to have his films presented on home video the way he wishes. That’s what’s happened here. HTF strongly believes in its mission statement that filmmakers have a moral right to have their work presented...

    I really don’t understand why we’re all still stuck in this semantics argument since the digital release of these titles since December. It’s possible to hold two opposing thoughts in one’s head at the same time. Two things can be true at the same time. Here, those two things are that 1) the...

    I wouldn’t be too concerned. They’re taking orders through the end of May. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny shipped late too. With a plethora of major releases all scheduled for March 12, that’s a strain on the limited remaining physical media infrastructure and that’s the most like...
