I think we should all mail in printouts of Nabob's new avatar.

Just one of many bad news stories, I fear we will have more of the same again tonight.We're just one of hundreds of independent labels who have lost all their stock in the Sony DADC fire at Enfield. Shocking.

Re: MoC Facebook & Twitter
Will any titles go OOP because of this? You don't reprint some titles that don't sell well, so i am bit concerned.

Re: MoC Facebook & Twitter
However! The best place to still purchase our titles is Amazon or Eureka direct, who both still have plenty of stock

We don't think this is going to be a massive problem. A few titles may be not available for a few weeks, but everything will be back in print as soon as possible!
One upshot of this, is that we'll be fast-tracking new Dual Format editions of most of our Blu-ray only releases.

Re: MoC Facebook & Twitter
I've confirmed with one of my BFI contacts that the fire only affected stock, not masters. Obviously, it's too early to say what the long-term outcome will be, though I assume it's covered by insurance.perkizitore wrote:Will any titles go OOP because of this?

Might you also do the reverse, bump up the likes of IL GRIDO & LA NOTTE to dual format editions too?...peerpee wrote: One upshot of this, is that we'll be fast-tracking new Dual Format editions of most of our Blu-ray only releases.

That's not very easy though if we don't have suitable HD masters yet. For the pre-existing separate editions, it's just a matter of fusing them together with new sleeves.

Is it possible for you to put out duel format releases of things like Sunrise or City Girl that have individual dvd and bluray releases?

I believe that is what he means. As far as I'm aware, Masters of Cinema don't have any truly Bluray exclusives at the moment (at least not until Touch of Evil and Silent Running come out). Hopefully Amazon will reduce the price of all the current Blurays soon, like they did with the BFI stock.Askew wrote:Is it possible for you to put out duel format releases of things like Sunrise or City Girl that have individual dvd and bluray releases?

Is it really worth flagging up such an obvious typo? Especially as it makes no difference whatsoever to the point of the piece?

Well it might not be worth contacting the journalist about, but it's certainly funny, especially when the information is available in one Google click. A lot of stuff in articles is not essential to the big picture, but still, God is in the detail!MichaelB wrote:Is it really worth flagging up such an obvious typo?

Re: MoC Facebook & Twitter
Fixed, FWIW. Considering everyone there has their hands full dealing with issues somewhat more important that correct attribution of films a decade and a half old, we could cut them some slack.Der Spieler wrote:Well it might not be worth contacting the journalist about, but it's certainly funny, especially when the information is available in one Google click.

Re: MoC Facebook & Twitter
It was not my intention to demean the effect of the fire at the Sony warehouse nor wag a finger at journalists who are attempting to cover the rioting; the error simply made me smile for a moment while reading the glum news. I apologize if the flagging was offensive.

I for one would like to buy a dual, non-steelbook, Metropolis.

Unfortunately we've had to close the Blu-ray page of our sale due to lack of stock in the office. Amazon have a good stock holding ATM.

Re: MoC Facebook & Twitter
Yes, presumably genuinely OOP stock wasn't being stored there, on the grounds that it was no longer sellable.

That seems to be the case, as they took donw their blu-ray sale page (due to low stock), but kept up the new release and out of print sale pages.MichaelB wrote:Yes, presumably genuinely OOP stock wasn't being stored there, on the grounds that it was no longer sellable.
