re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
I read in Blu-ray.com that Olive Films will be releasing Sion Sono's Love Exposure. I really hope this is true as North America hardly gets any these obscure but fantastic Japanese films unlike the UK or other regions.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
once again Olive are only using less than 15gb for their transfers of Invasion and High Noon. Screenies look good but why not just use more of the disc space?

DVD Beaver on High Noon
The small file sizes bug me too, but I have yet to watch a transfer of theirs that genuinely displeased me.

Yeah, small file sizes really bother me, enough to not support them. Come on guys, kick that meter up to the 30s, and I'm in! It's as if they have a big yellow warning sign that says, WARNING: DO NOT RELEASE THESE FILMS WITH AVERAGE BITRATE ABOVE 20 MBITS/SEC!

Ugh, reading that write-up of Johnny Guitar - "weird and wacky", "supposed subtext", "critics (and you know how they are)..." - reminds me why I usually skip the specious and simple-minded summary sections of their reviews.

Why is EVERY ONE of Olive's releases encoded at exactly 22.00 Mbits/sec regardless of the length of the film? Very suspicious.

I had forgotten that Overland Stage Raiders represents Louise Brooks' first HD appearance! She looks unrecognizable with her hair parted. It's a pretty routine programmer, but fascinating to watch for Brooksophiles:
