...is the damage it may do to their brand. Say Criterion Collection to a serious film collector and that means something to them. If that brand gets hooked to films like Armageddon the result may be to dilute what they have worked so hard to achieve. I also suspect thier effort is a bit misguided as well in that I doubt many folks that liked this movie are giong to pay a premium price for a deluxe copy of a popcorn movie (a particularly bad one, in fact). Does Joe Six Pack really want a premium disc that costs twice as much? Serious collectors will pay that tariff - but for Armageddon? I suspect not...joe
...look at the first ten titles on their list, then figure out which one doesn't belong there (hint: it is not the Autumn Sonata). If I were to simply buy that whole list (not a bad proposition) I would end up with more than 80% success rate. With this type of odds I *would* buy it all, and give that dreaded Armageddon to my uncle Joe for Christmas.Bot for Pete's sake, being sandwitched between Rublyov and Sonata - if I was the Armageddon, I would not wish of a better "uplifting" company. Kind of like a seat between Karajan and Pam Anderson?
You've got a point about Armageddon. Joe Six Pack on a budget may not spring for it but maybe the rich and tasteless Joe Six Pack might. I wonder how well that movie and Robocop did for sales. I remember seeing the Criterion Robocop and Armageddon on the racks at Best Buy. I couldn't find "Seven Samurai" or "M" though.
