Twilight Time / Redwind

[domino harvey]

The Train is sold out. I didn't even know it was running low!

[captveg]

There was a 250 copy notice about it a few days ago IIRC

[domino harvey]

Again, people who follow TT on Facebook, please pass this info on to us

[captveg]

I saw it on one of the other message boards. I hadn't visited this thread from then until now and just assumed the info had also been shared over here too

[EddieLarkin]

Ah sorry, I don't actually have a Facebook account and just go onto their front page to check what the next promotion is now and again. And despite being on SAE's mailing list I never get the "running low" emails. Since I bought The Train when it first went up for pre-order, it's sort of been off my radar.

[domino harvey]

Not singling anyone out, just a general request for the future

[captveg]

Well, copy-pasting from another forum, posted on TT FB on Monday:

"As we have previously posted, In Like Flint, Our Man Flint, Hard Times, The Driver, Leave Her to Heaven, Bye Bye Birdie, and Bell, Book, and Candle are all getting close - of the more recent releases, the Thunderbirds twofer is moving briskly."

[swo17]

Is that supposed to be the notification that The Train was running out?

[Drucker]

There's also a Facebook post from July 18:

"FROM SAE:
Fewer than 250 copies of THE TRAIN remain. Limit is strictly one per customer."

I just liked them on FB, so I'll try to post that stuff when I see it.

[captveg]

Is that supposed to be the notification that The Train was running out?

No. I just saw that one and since there was that request I reposted it here.

[swo17]

OK then! Thanks for obeying domino.

Ha wow, I thought Judgment at Nuremberg would be coming from Kino for sure. Heaven and Earth was a Warners release-- are Warner titles now on the table for TT?

[cdnchris]

There's a couple of surprises there, especially Heaven and Earth since i'm sure it's still Warner and would be an obvious one for an Archive release.

I was still sure Criterion would have released Jean Brodie at some point.

[rockysds]

It might be similar to what happened with Badlands & Criterion. Warner not interested in doing a blu-ray themselves and Oliver Stone pushing for TT after a presumably good experience with Salvador.

[captveg]

Or Warner is the other studio they were negotiating a deal with, which would be huge.

[John Doe]

Per TTs Facebook.

"It's a "one-off" driven by Oliver Stone who really wanted us to put it out."

[captveg]

Well, not surprising, but disappointing compared to what could have been.

[What A Disgrace]

Twilight Samurai is the one I'm really excited about. Otherwise, I've decided to lay off these guys unless I get mondo rich.

[Finch]

The Hongkong Blu-Ray of Twilight Samurai might work out cheaper. It's a good presentation of the film and the English subtitles are solid.
