Watching Beneath the 12-Mile Reef I tried the different audio settings and found the 5.1 DTS mix to be really distracting. With few exceptions, my front left speaker was silent to the point I had to check if it was working on my first listen. The Stereo option is much better IMO.

At this rate, it might sell out in a couple of weeks.

Aren't you being just a little overly-optimistic?

But actually, they finally sold another one! Just 12 left.

I don't follow. Why would SAE pay taxes on inventory?

I'm glad I poked my head into this thread because I thought that most TTs were gone for good outside of the few remaining on Hamilton Book. It is simultaneously disappointing and comforting seeing several leftovers that I got robbed of at the sale price when TT was clearing inventory—Let's Make Love and Rapid Fire, to name a couple. SAE shipping is so expensive, though.

My apology. I had read the following on a Business Management website:

"Taxes are paid on the levels of inventory kept, meaning that a high level of stock translates to a higher tax amount."

A discussion of inventory procedures followed. Apparently I either misunderstood the phrase itself, or the context in which it appeared. I've removed the post in question.

End of year inventory levels have an effect on a business' annual taxes for a given year. It affects the cost of goods sold which is used when determining business' taxable income for the year. It basically comes down to when a business can deduct expenses attributed to said inventory.

This means there are more than 150 copies of AMERICAN BUFFALO! It's been on fire sale for years.

Great film by the way, just can't believe they can't sell it out.

When researching all the sale titles, I passed it on by, over and over, thinking it was a bottom of the barrell title. On TT's last day, I watched the trailer and will admit that I got sold on both the color cinematography and the clip of Sally Anne Howes laying on the beach, wet hair and all, talking to Kenneth More. I picked it up at the bargain basement price (was $9 or so.)

I had a chance to see it this weekend and I think it holds its own up against other British comedies (e.g., Ealing Studios films) of that era.

Definitely recommended.
