Well, we can't have it all... even though it seemed like we could (close enough) for a good long while... At least current Criterion pricing still seems substantially better than what good LDs cost back in the day, especially once we account for their occasional sales and present value of $ --...

That's to be expected after the earlier agreement to a joint venture between Warner and Universal (mentioned right in that article itself). The real big concern will be what happens w/ WAC going forward for instance. Will they fold WAC too, but instead, license those kinds of titles to other...
