Twilight Time / Redwind

[RodneyOz]

And now The Other has sold out as of today.

[AfterTheRain]

Pal Joey is now officially sold out, too.

[AfterTheRain]

The TT sale has now been extended to Friday; good time to pick up some titles for Christmas.

[tenia]

AKA : "Please, we still have some copies of Bite the Bullet and The Rains of Ranchipur that are getting more dusty than some Code Red titles !"

[domino harvey]

I can't believe I paid $35 for Bite the Bullet. Good movie, though

[captveg]

Now gone:

Drums Along the Mohawk
Oliver!

Jane Eyre is down to 100 copies.

[perkizitore]

i did not get either oliver or the other, because the uk editions are even cheaper and i doubt they will have great resale value. i am bummed though that judgment at Nuremberg and major dundee sold out that quickly! (although the latter will probably get a uk release sooner than later)

[swo17]

All these TT releases selling out is the hardest news of 2016 yet.

[dwk]

All these TT releases selling out is the hardest news of 2016 yet.

Well, if it is any consolation, they are not selling out at their full price, so they likely aren't making very much off of these.

[domino harvey]

Twilight Time losing money is the best news of 2016

[dwk]

Their breakeven point is 1500 copies, so they are making some money.

[perkizitore]

They are breaking even at full price, are we sure they have sold 1500 copies of all sold out titles without sales?

[dwk]

Beats me. So ends our Frogurt riff. Damn it.

[Cinephrenic]

Stupid business model. They just sitting on out-of-print titles with rights license still active.

[captveg]

The vast majority of the OOP titles are past the three year licencing window.

[AfterTheRain]

Lost Horizon and Jane Eyre are now sold out.

In for Peyton Place, though I'm increasingly tiring of TT's model and prices even when they put out a title I like now that Kino is doing the same thing at half the cost. Surprised they didn't just pair You'll Never Get Rich with You Were Never Lovelier. Both are minor musicals and I doubt I'll upgrade. How to Steal a Million is out all over the world for cheap and has been for years. Another Woman is superfluous thanks to Arrow. The Fortune Cookie sucks-- Wilder's worst film. Vague recollection of Baby Boom from childhood, definitely not enough to spurn me on to dropping $30. Haven't seen the rest.

I'm kind of shocked that Our Man in Havana is getting its domestic release via Twilight Time. The new restoration played to sold out screenings at the Pacific Film Archive back in March. I figured this Carol Reed comedy would be a Criterion release for certain. I expect the UK release will likely be through BFI.

[Luke M]

I'd really like How To Steal a Million but now hoping it gets a UK release by Arrow/BFI/MoC. At this point, any time I see a movie I'm interested in get announced by Twilight Time I let out a quiet, "fuck".

[sir_luke]

How to Succeed has always been one of my favorite musicals along with Romance on the High Seas and High Society, and I've been waiting forever for it to come out on Blu. While I would have rather had *any* other label put it out, I knew it would be TT and have resigned myself to picking it up (and then selling it when it's released overseas somewhere).

[Rayon Vert]

Didn't think all that much of Our Man in Havana. Some good elements here and there but a minor work, and more often than not neither funny enough, or too broadly played.

[captveg]

I need to see six of those films, but of the three I have seen:

- Our Man in Havana -- I like it well enough, but it's a minor movie and not one I'll spend $30 on. I can see myself picking this one up during a future sale in a couple years.

- How to Steal a Million -- Just didn't enjoy it all that much. One viewing was servicable for me.

- Another Woman -- A fine movie, but again, not one I feel the need to own. It just doesn't have the rewatchable factor of other Allen films, IMO.


And the other six films to into my various rental lists (Netflix, Amazon, etc.)

[What A Disgrace]

Our Man In Havana sounds great. And also sounds like something that either MoC or Indicator would fight eachother over the rights to.
