Orson Welles's "The Other Side of The Wind" (IndieGoGo campaign) - Blu-ray Forum

I hate these limited crowdfunding things because they're so easy to miss and then you're screwed. I would have backed this in a heartbeat, and now presumably I'll have to pay some crazy price to someone on ebay. I wish this forum had a "Crowdfunding" subforum so it'd be easy to check in once in awhile and make sure you hadn't missed anything. "Blu-ray Movies - North America" moves too fast to "keep up with" unless you're checking constantly or reading back multiple pages when you do check.

Glad this will have a disc period though, even if I have to get ripped off for it. This Netflix streaming-only stuff grinds my gears in general and seems absurd for a situation like this. I can't believe no one with a real interest in film-preservation didn't step in first (Scorsese? BFI? The archival group at Sony? A team-up between Criterion and Eureka? Etc.) and they were left to turn to Netflix, who will sort this next to "The Break with Michelle Wolfe" and "Insatiable season 1" (or whatever comparable-quality nonsense is released in November) in the "Trending" category for 2 weeks and then never promote it ever again.
