It's just the point of view of that particular writer. 3D is sill huge. About 1 in 5 movies are released theatrically in 3D, and when you go into a Best Buy these days they have a hundred or more titles of the latest releases. Your "Good Bye" aint gonna happen.

we'll see.

Still going strong, in the theaters and on blu ray...

Still going strong in my house.
"It Came from Outer Space" gets a 3D Blu-ray release later this year: throbbing with anticipation.

And a fantastic restoration of "Gog" is coming out, too!

From what I understand ICFOS also includes the Nat King Cole short that was released with the feature originally. Very cool!

reply

Unfortunately the voodoo marketing BS of regional coding means that "Gog" will be region A only and "It Came from Outer Space" will be region B only.
I'm not normally quick to anger but this kind of thing makes me want to start taking hostages.

After seeing that Panamint was releasing 3-D, we made sure to get a region-free player. However, they released INFERNO all region after initially releasing for region B. It wouldn't surprise me if ICROS got a Region A release, too, though I hadn't noticed GOG was only Region A. That does stink.

According to 3D Film Archive, Region A was the only licencing that the rights holders would permit.
Making what is already a niche market even smaller doesn't increase sales but it does give a greater window of opportunity for someone wishing to upload the content to a torrent site, resulting in, surprise, even fewer sales.
It's incredible that after all this time anyone thinks regional coding and staggered releases have any merit whatsoever.
Movies are often made by people who are geniuses but then marketed by people who have room temperature IQs. "John Carter" is a recent example.
