These guys have a lot of work to do to catch up.

Who has a lot of work to do to catch up with what?

At first I thought it was spam, but his other three posts seem to make sense.

Importcds sale extended until 30/6, might be able to pre-order FOE and BOS with the code now (well next week anyway).

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.

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?

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

Via HTF, these titles will not be released by Olive:

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.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

I don't know much about most of those, but I am disappointed to hear they won't be releasing The Savage Innocents and The Turning Point.

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!

No need to be factitious - it was a mild and valid criticism.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

Uh, good one?

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

Total bummer about "Shanks". At least we got "The Spirit is Willing" and "Project X".

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

DVD Beaver on Johnny Guitar, Body and Soul and Force of Evil

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

Four George Sherman/John Wayne Westerns on 10/2:

Glad to give my wallet a rest for a bit.

Now I can finally retire my Johnny Guitar and Samson and Delilah laserdiscs.

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:
