Flicker Alley

[Blu-Velvet]

Really looking forward to THE LOST WORLD on Blu-ray, as well as SHERLOCK HOLMES and an alternate release of THE BIRTH OF A NATION (presumably with a different score as well as different extras), not to mention Chaplin's Essanay shorts in HD. Of course the 3-D rarities on Blu-ray will be a must-buy!

I know the people at Flicker Alley have been somewhat disappointed in Blu-ray sales over DVD sales in terms of net return vs. expenses, since there is already a limited niche market for their titles and libraries/schools generally all opt for DVD versions, so I try to support their Blu-ray releases as much as possible to encourage more to come. Their French Masterworks set looks so good on their DVDs that it's frustrating they released only one of the titles on Blu-ray (an interesting one but not necessarily the best) with no plans for the rest on Blu.
