fair enough--that's what I would have expected...TravisR said:From last night's chat, Warners said:
and that's how it worked when I took TCM up on the RKO Classics from the Vault thing last year--which was pretty expensive in itself, but featured extraordinarily rare items that I wanted to encourage the studio to make available
this new batch, though, mostly includes films that could easily have appealed to a wider spectrum of viewers, if included in the right kind of package (and I've got the VHS tapes to prove that they used to think things like Three Comrades had a market---and no, I'm not even close to 40... I bought the VHS tapes with my newspaper delivery money when I was 14)
I spend close to 75% of my disposable income on classic DVDs, because I love them, and I want to see them in circulation... but this kind of niche collector thing seems counterproductive to me, and I reiterate that I won't be taking advantage of it, whether they ship to Canada or not...
normally, I wouldn't complain at all (it's not my style), but as I interpreted that list as 150 movies (all of which are almost certain to have been on the TCM schedule in recent years, and will almost certainly return) that won't be getting proper DVD releases ever, I'm sure you can at least understand my lack of enthusiasm
