Default I am VERY excited for this release

I am a huge fan of Baraka, have owned it on DVD since it was first released, and first saw it when I was in high school and was blown away. I have turned many people onto it by showing them the wonderful Balinese "monkey chant" scene. I am thrilled to see this coming to Blu-Ray. It sounds like they did it justice. 70mm films are ideal for BD transfer if done right!

I also own all of the QUATSI trilogy on DVD, and have always been disappointed with the PQ of Koyaanisqatsi (After years of searching I found a bootleg copy of the limited-edition IRE DVD release, which is better than the sub-standard MGM DVD, but still has lots of dirt and other visual issues).

I have searched high and low and can't find any plans for Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, or Naqoyqatsi to be released on BD, but I would be beside myself if they ever do. I know it has to be expensive to do a good BD transfer of films that have a rather limited audience, but it seems like some wealthy fan might be able to sponsor the task. If I had the $$ to spare, I'd do it in a heartbeat! Or if some loyal fans could rally MGM to release them?

Does anyone know who to contact at MGM to make requests that actually don't just get filed in the round file?

PS funny synchronicity, I forgot my forum password, and so I had it send me a reset email, and when I checked my email, literally two minutes before the blu-ray.com email, I got an email from the Spirit of Baraka mailing list, announcing the Blu-ray release:
