Re: Columbia Classics
It most likely sold out so quickly partly because it was limited to 3000 copies. I don't a regular non-limited edition would sell so much so quickly because there's no need to rush, it's not a limited print.captveg wrote:No surprise with Christine that Sony is handling the re-issue themselves. If TT could sell 3000 copies in 8 hours that surely got Sony's attention.

Re: Columbia Classics
Sure, but 3000 copies that fast still indicates a market Sony didn't foresee, regardless of scalpers. With all the content of the release needing just a simple repurposing to a new disc image it's a no-brainer investment in their part.

Re: Columbia Classics
I was just thinking of Arrow's experience with Hellgate and Hell Comes to Frogtown, where most likely the 1000 copies sold out not because there was a market for the movies but because it was limited.captveg wrote:Sure, but 3000 copies that fast still indicates a market Sony didn't foresee, regardless of scalpers.

Sony could very well press 3000 copies of Christine and take 3 years to sell them out, and that would only further consolidate their view on how it's not interesting for them to do this kind of releases.

Re: Columbia Classics
Unfortunately, it hasn't been restored - they're showing it because Tavernier picked itStefan Andersson wrote:A Matter of Life and Death, restored in collaboration with Park Circus, screens at this year´s Venice Festival:

Where does this line up with other Capras? Closer to It Happened One Night, or the message films?

It's lightweight, the only message is to have fun and let loose, you only live once, &c. It's an okay film, but not one I'm in any hurry to upgrade

Re: Columbia Classics
I agree with Dom. The stage version with Jason Robards is my favorite version, look out for that one.

It is the twentieth anniversary of the Spice Girls' debut this year, so I get it, but I thought literally no one liked the movie

Re: Columbia Classics
I actually remember watching the movie when it got out in France in theaters. I was in junior high schoold and remember spotting my then maths teacher, accompanying his daughter. I asked him at the end of the movie if he liked it. He told me he basically slept all the way through it.domino harvey wrote:It is the twentieth anniversary of the Spice Girls' debut this year, so I get it, but I thought literally no one liked the movie

$14.99... I love it. The biggest "fuck you" to Twilight Time since their similarly cheap and feature-packed Christine
