Can't get over how awesome that Emerald Forest cover art is. Nice job, Kino!

It does look nice, fingers crossed the transfer is also very good.

Has as anyone else noticed that Amazon discounts each new batch of Kino releases slightly less than the one before? The first batch settled in at a pre-order price if $16.99, the second at $17.49, and the current batch at $18.49.

What I've noticed is that all the October titles I'm interested in — MARRIED TO THE MOB, BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN, TOPKAPI — are all pre-orderable at Amazon at the insane price of $27.98. For titles whose picture and sound quality has to be assessed on a case-by-case basis? Seriously?

They could be gathering data on the best preorder pricing to maximize returns.

I've been ordering these since the first month. They've usually started in the $27 range the first month, then dropped to $20 range the month prior to release, and then to the $17 range right before street. But the October releases haven't been discounted much, if at all, while the November and December releases have. Strange. I always pre-ordered day 1 so I get the low-price guarantee that Amazon offers.

UPDATE: I just checked "Topkapi" which I have pre-ordered. It streets on Oct 7th....price is now down to $18.49 (it was $27.98 when I pre-ordered).

Day 1 on Kino titles (and Olive) listed on Amazon is usually $20.97 by default and jacked up to around $27 a few days later.

It's usually best to snatch these up immediately upon preorder listing. That is if you're willing to take the Kino gamble on the end product ahead of time.

In the midst of watching Elmer Gantry this week, but in 30 minute
increments due to a very busy schedule.

Is The Bubble a Kino release?

Is The Bubble a Kino release?

Yes, but not from the "Kino Studio Classics" line. The KSC line is identified by matching bindings and disc art.

On the fence about that one (haven't seen it). Any recommendations?

Very dark (mood) film, I found it kinda sleazy when I first saw it in theaters. It's Frankenheimer, so it tends to be a little over-wrought at times, but overall a good, but not great, thriller.

"In this exclusive clip from BURT REYNOLDS: BACK TO THE BAYOU, Reynolds discusses an infamous stunt-gone-wrong by legendary Hollywood stuntman Hal Needham. This story and more can be found in a two-part retrospective interview, featured on WHITE LIGHTNING and GATOR from KL Studio Classics.

Anyone know anything about why Kino's long-in-the-works release of the AIP/English-language Mario Bava titles BLACK SUNDAY and BLACK SABBATH were abruptly cancelled just over a week before the street date?
