It simply isn't worth it. So I am sorry for any offense and I will no longer post in this thread since it seems to annoy you.

Have a nice day.

Dude, you really are blowing things out of proportion. I was just telling you to chill. I understand you're anxious to get your movie, but as has been pointed out before Twilight Time and especially Screen Archives are often slow to get stuff sent. You don't need to offer apologies or abandon the thread. If it makes you feel better to post about it, I'll keep stumm from now on.

Peace.

Of those 28 on blu-ray, 16 were released by Fox themselves, with the other 12 being licensed out to other labels -- 1 Criterion, 2 Kino, 8 Twilight Time (including 2 not yet released or announced, but known to be under license to them). One might wonder why, if Fox was proud enough of them to call them "Studio Classics", why would they license any of them out instead of releasing them all themselves (rhetorical question)?

And they should have included others in the series, like "Laura" which was released, but perhpas not under that banner.

Laura is an interesting example. It was released by Fox under the "Studio Classics" banner on blu-ray, but wasn't part of the DVD "Studio Classics" series. On DVD, it was part (the first one, actually) of their "Film Noir" series.

Example: Last Friday, I placed an order for 3 BDs from SAE, taking advantage of their Scorpion 20% off sale to pick up Puppet on a Chain and Go Tell the Spartans (plus a non-Scorpion Lancaster film, The Swimmer). I didn't get the shipping notification until this morning. No big. It's not like I'd have the time to watch them right away.

It's 4pm, I've loaded my cart with $119.80 of stuff on TT's site, but where's the signed promo???

at http://www.twilighttimemovies.com - 100 copies of CAT BALLOU signed by Elliot Silverstein - offered FREE with the qualifying purchase of a minimum $119.80 - promotion goes "live" at 4 pm EST. Load up your carts in advance to be ready as soon as it happens, and the FREE signed Cat Ballou will automatically be added when "live" - good luck!

You'll notice the promo is at Twilight Time's site and not Screen Archives.

Is there some trick to getting the signed copy of Cat Ballou? I have 4 items in my cart and nothing is showing up.

I'm not seeing anything either.

Mr Pimm · 09-14-2016, 08:05 PM

Same here. Nothing yet

Mr Pimm · 09-14-2016, 08:07 PM

The announcement says 4pm EST. It's actually 4pm EDT at this time of year...

surfinhank · 09-14-2016, 08:08 PM

Is this the first signing promo done on the TT website? Maybe they're having problems....

I thought they were supposed to be Twilight Time not Daylight Saving Time.

Mr Pimm · 09-14-2016, 08:10 PM

Not sure what time they're on...

movieben1138 · 09-14-2016, 08:12 PM

Well, I was planning on giving them some money...but I'm already bored with this.

cgurley · 09-14-2016, 08:14 PM

It is now working.

baheidstu · 09-14-2016, 08:14 PM

Try again. I just added 4 random titles then went to checkout and it's there automatically.

movieben1138 · 09-14-2016, 08:17 PM

Got it!

Sy-Klone · 09-14-2016, 08:18 PM

Yeah, it worked. Got my order in.

If you had your items in the cart before the sale went live, it isn't working. Remove them and put them back in and the promo will be there. Just a glitch but since this is their first free signed promo, it's not a surprise.

Not working for me. It just magically appeared in your cart?

Mr Pimm · 09-14-2016, 08:20 PM

Got it as well.

krasnoludek · 09-14-2016, 08:20 PM

Got my signed copy. Though for some reason, putting it in with the order raised the base shipping from ~$6 to $13! I have a feeling that's a bug (probably because the listed value is $1,500, which is then struck through and replaced with $0). Hopefully they'll allow a refund of shipping. I put my order in because I didn't want to miss it and I have to leave my computer.
