Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Cover Girl, now there's about 7 titles I want from them.
The question is, do I have a spare $214 for them. Should not have to be this way but looks like Sony isnt interested in releasing these themselves.

Never seen Cover Girl but have always meant to--kinda pricey for a blind buy, though. I think I'll probably get Bye Bye Birdie.

How much do you think Criterion would sell it for?

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
And don't forget with MoC and Criterion, you generally get a host of supplemental features and my favorite, a fairly substantial booklet filled with archival critical essays and/or other insight into the film.
Unless I am missing something, TT has yet to treat the films they release with that level of care or concern.
EDIT: Is there a method to TT's pricing? Some titles are $29.95 versus $34.95, do they all jump to the higher amount after the pre-order period runs or do they fluctuate periodically?

If you had told my little laserdisc-purchasing ass, back in 1988, that in the year 2012, $30 in 2012 money is by far the most I would be paying for a lovely HD transfer of a super-esoteric title, I would've wept tears of joy.
If it gets me something like The Big Heat on Blu-ray, I can't pay Twilight Time fast enough.

It would be nice if The Big Heat suggested lower pricing for future Sony titles, but I'm not betting on it.

The Star Wars "faces" discs were $59.99 each and had bupkis for extras.

I wasn't "around" for the LD days, but I'm assuming if you didn't get any, there really wasn't anything created for the release.
The commentary for AGAIG already exists and is on the Sony dvd. Why give TT the rights to the film, but not the commentary?
I don't like the idea of limiting the sales, but I can live with higher prices on certain titles. Just don't get why people are just happy to get whatever they can get, when just adding the existing extras shouldn't hurt whatever business model TT has.

I'm not big on extras either, but I just think it stinks when they have them and just choose to not use them.

I just got my signed copy of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH in the mail. It was signed on the case cover instead of the insert or booklet.
