Among the problems I listed for 3D and the fad aspect that you mention, I think the two biggest stumbling blocks for the technology lie elsewhere. Number one (as has already been mentioned) is a lack of good films. A crappy movie is just as crappy in 3D as it is in 2D. In addition, many 3D films...

Again, I'm not saying that I think it will become a mainstream product. I'm saying that the industry will try to market and sell it.

I'm not saying it will. I'm saying that I think the industry will try to market it. May never get past the stage of a few high-end panel offerings. And, I may be dead wrong. :)

3D suffers from multiple companies pushing competing and incompatible standards, a small number of titles, and the misfortune of hitting the market during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

I disagree. After pushing 3D as the "next big thing", display manufacturers will need a new technology to convince people they need to buy new TVs. 4K is the logical technology to drive those future sales. That would be my guess anyway.

Oh I agree, but tell it to Criterion. They've done very well for themselves serving that market with meaty, meaningful releases of films most people have never even heard of. My point was that Criterion has set the bar for high-priced niche titles and so far TT has failed to meet it. If I'm...

I disagree. As someone else has mentioned a few posts back, it's some of the CATALOG Blu-ray titles like these two films that are niche products. Sony "gave" them to Twilight Time because they didn't feel that an investment to distribute these particular films would be worth their while...

Interesting interview and thread. While I don't agree with some of Mr. Redman's opinions I found them enlightening. It's great to have the opportunity to hear directly from industry insiders and it's one of the reasons I value HTF so much. I'm always learning something new here. Amongst all...
