Wooch, when Buena Vista Social Club, which should have met BR's 1000-copies-sold-to-meet-marketability criteria by a wide margin, makes it to BR, then maybe I'll be more optimistic about it. But then that bears the question, why isn't it available on BR yet? Or do Jazz titles need to reach a higher threshold? Maybe those BR folks are anti-jazz?

I'll throw out this morsel: maybe it's because it's got nothing to do with profitability thresholds, but with the movie as a whole. It, like a gazillion other movies out there has a nostalgic quality about it's "lower quality." Kind of like Cassablanca and Rio Bravo. Releasing them on super-high quality audio and video formats serves what purpose, exactly? This is why I maintain that the depth of the BR catalog will never even come close to that of DVD. Even if it just reaches profitability thresholds, the bad publicity from the fans could kill that margin. Remember all those "colorized" B&W movies? was that worth it? Who knows, but I do know you can buy some of these for $3.33 at Albertson's bargain bin.
