"The greatest respect" isn't necessary when a simple correction is fine; I wasn't purporting to have a first hand encounter with the thing, but admitted that it was through hearsay.

Not really a correction, just my opinion...and I'm always polite, I don't want to start an infighting and navel gazing thread :D

No worries. I suppose there's not much chance of my ever seeing a print, me being in the States?

available for pre-order and only $13. Will Amazon lock in that price if you preorder it? And this essentially means Criterion is not going to do their own on BD, right?

Already being talked about elsewhere, but the new restoration of this is coming out soon on blu-ray with tons of extra features. Really excited about this one.

Any rumors or speculation on whether CC will reacquire the rights to this with a BD release?
