Re: Twilight Time
since apparently an old MGM title - "La Mariée était en noir" - from François Truffaut is announced for the first time on blu-ray, do you think it could be too soon to for "La Sirène du Mississippi" / "Mississippi Mermaid" on Blu-Ray (no DVD MGM were satisfying...) and Mk2/Artificial Eye won't release this title on blu-ray...
I saw one day an HDTV transfer in France and it was sooo beautiful...
This is one of my favorite Truffaut movie with The Soft Skin and Domicile Conjugal...

Re: Twilight Time
Of course they got Lenny, right after Criterion got my hopes up that *they* were releasing it with all those clips they used of it in the All That Jazz extras.

Re: Twilight Time
Those are actually two films I have no trouble rationalizing spending that much for. Hell, in terms of the joy I get from them, they're worth that total each (But don't tell TT that!)

Re: Twilight Time
Do we know yet if there's a giveaway on the 22nd with the preorders?

Re: Twilight Time
Not yet. Sometimes they post early (the last one was September 3rd), sometimes they post late (Brannigan was July 16th for a July 24th pre-order date), and sometimes we don't get one at all (August). I'll let you know.

Re: Twilight Time
Me too. I don't mind TT at all. I buy the titles that interest me and hope they release others that I'm looking forward to, like the Ox-Bow Incident, which they said was on high on their list several years back (from a facebook q & a).
For me, the annoyance about TT, is Redman's dire predictions about physical media, which I think he is off base on.

Re: Twilight Time
Twilight Time have two Wilders in the works, neither of which are One, Two, Three. I forget what has already been announced/released by other indie labels recently; what is left for TT to put out (that they can get)?

Avanti!
The Fortune Cookie
Kiss Me, Stupid
Irma la douce
These are all the remaining titles owned by MGM, if I'm not mistaken.

I hope it's Irma la Douce and Kiss Me, Stupid but it'll probably be the Fortune Cookie and Buddy Buddy
If they're not going after One Two Three, it does sound like double-confirmation that it's the Wilder coming from Criterion

Re: Twilight Time
Those who rely on Screen Archives Entertainment's Amazon storefront to order Twilight Time discs may want a heads-up that come next month they will no longer be able to have their product for sale there thanks to Amazon's draconian new policies prohibiting most sellers from listing DVDs with a retail price of > $25.

Re: Twilight Time
I wonder though if that restriction will apply to items that are only ever sold by third-party sellers, like Twilight Time titles. (This is because it's not Amazon but the third-party sellers creating the pages in the first place.) I guess we'll find out soon enough.Gregory wrote:Those who rely on Screen Archives Entertainment's Amazon storefront to order Twilight Time discs may want a heads-up that come next month they will no longer be able to have their product for sale there thanks to Amazon's draconian new policies prohibiting most sellers from listing DVDs with a retail price of > $25.

Re: Twilight Time
I have to say, Twilight Time's gotten really good in the past couple of months at releasing films I want but are low priority, which in most other circumstances I'd wait for a good sale on before buying. (Salvador, The Bride Wore Black, and Lenny are all fit that description for me.) Which is to say that if anyone but TT were releasing them, I'd be paying maybe 25% of what I'll pay if I decide to buy the TT releases.

Re: Twilight Time
I think TT would say that the reason you're now forced to buy these low priority releases at full price or not at all, is because in the past you "waited for a sale" on similar titles much too often (along with thousands of others, of course).
That said, TT will probably be having anniversary sales annually from now on so you might get the opportunity to buy these for $25 instead of $35 in a year or two (unless they turn out to be high priority for 3000 other people).

Re: Twilight Time
I'm sure that argument is legit. Too bad we've all been trained to wait for sales, really; though it seems ridiculous, I sometimes find myself wistful about paying full MSRP for stuff and not worrying about it, some 20 +/- years ago.EddieLarkin wrote:I think TT would say that the reason you're now forced to buy these low priority releases at full price or not at all, is because in the past you "waited for a sale" on similar titles much too often (along with thousands of others, of course).

Re: Twilight Time
Audio interview with Nick Redman starting at the 40:30 minute mark. The description of the interview states Redman has a few special new title announcements* and goes into great detail on the business model behind Twilight Time and why they do limited runs of their select titles.

Re: Twilight Time
Around 1:22:00 Mr. Redman mentions that one Walter Hill title they are trying to get is Extreme Prejudice (1987), which would be ideally licensed as part of a deal with another studio. That would be Lionsgate, which would be a real coup if they could pull it off, as LG is right next to WB in the "difficult to license titles from" category.
