Warner Brothers announces made to order DVDs, digital downloads, as WarnerArchive project launches

Sometimes it takes facing bankruptcy to make Hollywood realize it's time to move into the 21st century. And once again, the ailing Warner Brothers is leading the way. The venerable film studio will reach into its extensive film vaults to sell digital downloads and made-to-order DVD's for a mid-line price.

The group of films, dubbed WarnerArchive, is available starting today at http://warnerarchive.com. A plethora of interesting films are among the initial offering of 150 movies, and eventually, the majority of Warner's large catalog will be issued in this way.

Twenty more films or TV shows will be added to the program of re-releases each month, with 300 expected by year's end. To put it in perspective, the studio has released only about 1,100 movies on DVD since the technology was spawned 12 years ago.

"There are still thousands of movies that we own that consumers haven't been able to get," said George Feltenstein, senior vice president of theatrical catalog marketing for Warner Home Video, told the AP last week. "I expect that we'll be selling thousands of copies of every title over a period of time, and making a lot of people really happy."

The archive project, which Warner claims is the first of its kind for a major studio, is an effort to combat what could be a fundamental decline in demand for DVD purchases due equally to oversaturation of inferior DVD product and the current recession.

Many of the titles Warner is releasing in the new venture have made the rounds on another Time Warner subsidiary, the Turner Classic Movies cable channel, and on VHS. But the studio will keep mining a 6,800-feature film library, amassed when Ted Turner bought Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's archive in 1986, which in turn was bought by Time Warner a decade later.

We're particularly excited because for the first time, the PNR favorite Buried Treasure Doc Savage - The Man Of Bronze is part of the program...and you're RIGHT if you think we've already ordered it...heh heh heh...

Brookstone is a great place to shop for all kinds of incredible gadgets, and practically anyone in your life will appreciate the gift of a Brookstone purchase!

I can't tell you how much money i've dropped at our local Brookstone store over the past few years, so this sponsorship is especially SWEET for us. Gadget fanatic that I am, I love perusing Brookstone for the latest toys for me to play with...something Kim can attest to...heh heh heh...

I have NEVER been disappointed with anything i've purchased there. Our two Brookstone massagers have been a big help whenever my bad back or my bad knees act up. Both Kim and I bought our first MP3 players at Brookstone. And whenever i'm looking for the latest cool electronic gadgets, Brookstone is where I head to!

As a sponsor of Subject:CINEMA, Brookstone.com is giving our listeners the chance to take advantage of some special savings as well - a great deal for YOU!  When shopping at Brookstone.Com, use our show code SHOWCIN at checkout and recieve 10% off your order!*

COME ON ABC - IT'S TIME TO MAKE AMENDS...

Hey ABC!  You cheesed off a LOT Of extreme sports fans when this seasons' cast of Dancing With The Stars was announced...

Now that Jewel and Nancy O'Dell are out with injuries...even BEFORE the season starts...you have a chance to rectify your egregious oversight from several weeks back. You have a chance to make amends for the slap you gave extreme fans by NOT including snowboarding daredevil Louie Vito in your final lineup by approaching him once again to join the cast.

Louie first interviewed last fall, and couldn't do it because of a recent knee injury. Then in January, X Games snowboard commentators Sal Masakela and Todd Richards intimated that Vito would be included on the spring edition of DWTS. Alas, it was NOT to be, and the extreme fans got the shaft AGAIN.

As a fan of both DWTS and Extreme sports, I am SICK of seeing every other sport and discipline represented - you even have a champion rodeo rider this season and no less than FIVE Football players have participated over the years - but in eight seasons have YET to represent the world of extreme sports.

Would Louie be at a disadvantage? Yes. Would he take it? I don't know - my gut says yes, he would, if he thought he could catch up. But I bet he would like to be asked again either way, because in a recent USA Today interview he seemed truly bummed out that he didn't make the final cut last fall.

COME ON ABC - show the X-Treme fans some LOVE - GIVE LOUIE VITO A CALL! And lets see him - or another extreme sports star - on next weeks' season premiere of DWTS!

Subject:CINEMA #158 - "Directors' Chair: Dark, Demented And Distinct - The Films Of Tim Burton!"

This week, we delve into the demented mind of director Tim Burton!

We look at the complete output of Mr. Burton's career as a director and as a producer, starting with his masterful short Vincent right through the films that are upcoming over the next two years. Plus, your email, this week's Bonehead Of The Week, the latest site news, and our review of the winner of the Spirit Award for Best Picture, THE WRESTLER.

AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT...

Drop by TC's great music site, RadioTC.com for the brand new "RadioTC Song Of the Day" feature! TC has a huge music collection and each day he's going to bringing you some favorite tunes of his! Each day, he'll pick a different song, and explain why he's chosen it as the "Song of the Day". You'll hear some classic hits, some album cuts, some obscure songs that he thinks should be heard, and the oddball goofy song as well.  So join us every day!  http://radiotc.com!
