In this context use of the term “noir” is marketing strategy. And I have no problem with that. Through it, Kino is making many films available, and it's the selection in the sets that determines whether I buy or not, not the terminology printed on the box.

My Image DVD from 2000 says copyright renewed 1981 Telewide Systems, Inc. Original copyright 1953 Blue Gardenia Productions, Inc.

We can't because there's no such thing. The disc doesn't exist until it comes out of the pressing process; you could say that its existence immediately before that was in the form of liquid melted plastic.

Yes, pressed. “Blanks” don't enter into it.

I'd still rather give them all my money for their product than split it with Amazon. I know I'll get the stuff, and a wait doesn't bother me. For this sale it was about three weeks between order and delivery.

I'm not going to stop purchasing directly from Kino.

Well that's useful! The use there has other good lists, too. Thanks!

Boy, it sure would be a big help if you provided the same ability to filter sale items as you do for regular browsing, like by genre and decade, for example. A big, big help.

I would love to have Impact on Blu-ray from high-quality film elements, in large part because of its extensive location photography in my home town back when I was two years old. But it was an independent production, with UA involved only in the initial theatrical distribution. FWI worth, the...

Same title and same transfer?

Right, their announcements in the dedicated forum here don't mention audio specs, either. I had to ask there specifically to learn that Flower Drum Song was going to be multi-channel. Since these things are otherwise SOP industry-wide, it makes me think it must be Kino company policy. Be...

I'm in the "After 46 years of all that, enough is enough" category.

It would really be great if your sales listings included the filters by Genre, Country, Decade etc. that are available in your general catalog listings. In all honesty, having to scroll through neatly 900 items on 38 pages (in grid view) to find things of personal interest is a real...

If those filtering and sorting options aren't, they ought to be. Maybe it's a work in progress.

For me the filtering and sorting options, plus having the title in text along with the thumbnail is just what I was hoping for. A big improvement.

Seven filter options: Format, Genre, Director, Cast, Country, Decade and Price. Ten sorting options including variations for Price, Title, Director and Year. That and having the title in text in addition to the thumbnail is just what I was hoping for.

Apparently out of print since I couldn't find it on Kino's site, but I grabbed one of the seven Amazon had in stock for $14.95.

To avoid angering regular viewers who might still be planning on switching to another program after a half hour, might be one reason. But I don't understand why is this so important. Does making this distinction have any real-world practical consequences?

I agree about Eddie Muller's commentaries, but I was engrossed throughout by Jason Ney's on Shakedown. Even though right at the start he pulled a boner by misidentifying the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge as the Golden Gate.

She was born in 1938, then when she was seven her parents divorced and she moved with her mother to San Francisco. She didn't really have any personal contact with her father's movie-making career.

Well, it was the Kino Insider's use of just WSL in the original post (#10,666) in that forum that started me wondering about it. In today's post he's spelling it out and including a link. Thanks for letting me know they're going to be revamping the site, I'm looking forward to it.

I put this here rather than the Insider Announcement forum from whence came the quote. In their announcements they could also spell out things like "While Supplies Last" and include a link for people like me who don't have the intricacies of their web site layout and terminology memorized. I...

My guess is somewhere between zero and pigs flying.

Maybe there should be another separate thread, “Your thoughts on other people's thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays.”

I think he means Secret Agent, but Criterion doesn't appear to have it on disc.

Same here. Ordered 15th, shipped 28th, UPS says "in transit" 29th. UPS tracking also gives a USPS tracking number, which means the PO will make final delivery, as per previous orders.
