Thanks, everyone, for your input. We're going to go ahead and use this
vendor and see how it goes, caveats and all.

Hello again from Brooklyn,
Does anyone have experience with purchasing DVDs manufactured on demand by
Amazon? We are looking for a copy of Buster Keaton's cameraman and noticed
that there is a DVD-R for sale:

Anyone got any leads for acquiring this DVD?

Hello Johanna,
According to our records, we have purchased 38 Amazom.com DVD-R titles since
March 2011. I do not see where we had to return any of them due to defects.
While Roger is correct in that sometimes the DVD-R titles sold by Amazon.com
may be from 'questionable' sellers, others are
Hello,
I'm looking for 35mm prints of DEAD ALIVE (aka BRAINDEAD dir. Peter Jackson,
1992) and RINGU (dir. Nakata, 1998). Does anyone know who distributes these two
titles?
Thank you,

this is probably not the best place for 35mm info. You should sign up for

where getting 35mm prints is a major discussion issue. The contact for the
