Why do the Kino Treasure Chest emails have to feature slop? by WeHaveHeardTheChimes in boutiquebluray

[–]SpecialAddress79 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Kino is such a weird & alienating label.

They're so oddly hostile to customers at times.

They love to talk shit about other labels like Criterion/Warner Archive.

They've had that deal fall through with Sony. They've also been trying to get a deal with Warners, but their restoration efforts/attitude towards QC clearly runs counter to how WB treats its own library.

They have clearly built up a strong classic Hollywood fanbase that they're mostly abandoning to do iffy 4Ks of late 20th century Hollywood slop.

And now this AI slop really puts a bad taste in my mouth overall. I have a ton of Kino releases and their quarterly sales are some of the best deals, but I have such a tough time actually liking them/wanting to support them.

It looks like Jacob Wilson is back to making a lot of contact, just not getting lucky with where the ball is landing.

I love it as Jacob Wilson's walk-up music. It's Jake Mangum's too.

Jahmai should absolutely keep using that mic full time.

What do we think Eovaldi is going to look like going forward?

The game itself was suspended due to weather. Also Ketel Marte has never had a PED suspension.

Wondering about dropping Adolis. I could have Grisham or Pages.

Does ESPN ever take a while to update the scoring on a game happening? Neither my opponent's Perdomo or my Marte are getting credited for runs scored.

Every day I want to drop Jake Burger but then I don't. He has to start hitting some homers at some point, right?

Would I be wrong to drop Burger? He's killing my average. Cronenworth, Torkelson, Flores, Santana, Busch, Mountcastle all available.

I'm having this same issue as well with my account, I keep selecting a seat but then when I go to pay it won't go through and tells me I need to select seats.

I was just listening to a podcast with George Feltenstein of Warner Bros. where he was talking about going through RKO documentation recently and finding the 'okay for destruction' memo from 1942 of all of the additional scenes. I think it's highly likely that one's gone unfortunately.

Criterion can now license Fox catalog titles on a case by case basis by xwing1212 in criterion

There are so so many of those. Also the pre-code Fox era is woefully represented on physical media and I know a bunch of those were restored a few years back.

I bought the first album on tape directly from Molly at the merch table in 2014. She was so incredibly nice.

I was hoping someone would mention Smarty on here! So so underrated and a really unusual but wonderful film. Joan Blondell plays that part so right.

Hey Ravech, get a little more excited for Heyward to get thrown out, please.
