I had an IB print of The Black Swan in 16mm and it was incredible.

I'd like to ask NickZ one question: How old are you and did you see all the referenced titles in your post in darkened theaters at the time of their release.

I'm not going near any of this, other than to say I know where at least ONE of the things spoken of in Nick's post came from. As to Bigger Than Life being the poster child for Deluxe color - who do you think did that transfer and color timing - let me help: The same folks who did all the others.

Well, why is that? Because there is almost no blue in the production design or lighting. This transfer has just as much blue as every other transfer in terms of its palette and you can see that when the parade is happening. I love all the Fox transfers :)

Well, it's about to open as a stage show - more songs by Flaherty and Ahrens.

First off, it's just a wonderful movie - great script, great score, with beautiful costumes. You just have no actors today who could do this kind of film, period. Brynner, Bergman, Hayes - they're all amazing, and the character actors are brilliant (again, we don't really have character actors...

What was popular in the DVD era has nothing to do with what sells on Blu-ray. It was a completely different world. In other news, Anastasia has arrived and I'm about to watch it.

I hope it hasn't come off as picking on anyone - what people have been picking on is the notion that this would somehow have been better served on a different label. And I'm sorry, that kind of thing must be refuted. And Mr. Harris was finally the one who introduced the most salient point...

It's all relative, isn't it? You went to a store that probably ordered ten copies and sold them - seriously. Even if they sold 100 copies and you were on a waiting list, that doesn't make it a popular Blu-ray bought by 5,000 people, does it?

Why? The argument was that it's so easy to walk into a Barnes and Noble and find all these great movies on Blu-ray. You named two. I said I've never seen a Kino or Olive title in ANY store. I'm not sure what it is you're not comprehending about that.

We can keep going around in circles but - how do you know how popular they were? You don't. For all you know if The Way We Were came out in Guam they might have sold six copies. You just don't know. Twilight Time has a business model that is working for them. Kind of the end of the story.

Yeah, I've heard of Amazon and I buy many things from Amazon at many different price points. But if a movie I want is not available via Amazon I buy it from who has it. Seems pretty simple to me.

It doesn't seem right because you think it doesn't seem right. Any company who actually puts these titles out as a BUSINESS (you know, operating from a logical business standpoint) know that 3,000 of a title like Anastasia will, most likely, sell half the run and maybe, just maybe, if their...

Yes, you can occasionally find one copy of a classic at Barnes and Noble - better do that quickly, though, because Barnes and Noble is not long for this world. So, they have their one copy of Ben-Hur. They've had it for a while if you're still finding it, and when they have no use for it...

I don't think it was me who was being belligerent - I just read my posts really carefully to see if there was even a hintarooni of belligerence and I came up empty, which makes me belligerent, frankly. :) No, just responding to your posts, Noel - that's what happens on a message board. If you...

I'll tell you why - because maybe Anastasia on DVD was in a different time and a different market. Check. Maybe (and I don't think there's much maybe about it) Inn of the Sixth Happiness didn't sell well - in fact, maybe NONE of the titles Fox put on Blu-ray were worth it for them - none...

Nice attitude. :) You can't go into Best Buy and find Kino Lorber either. And you know what else (and I've used this argument a lot, but it STILL holds) - if it was twenty bucks people would complain it's not fifteen, if it was fifteen they'd say "Oooh, I'll wait it out until it's ten" and...

And if you asked a person on the street what Kino Lorber was or Olive was they wouldn't be able to tell you either, so what IS your point.

I always wish I knew what people were talking about. :) They are always under the mistaken impression that somehow there are more than 3,000 people who'd love to have Anastasia. I suspect they'll be lucky to sell half that number. And really, would it be THAT much cheaper through Kino...
