I love Quartet, but who was asking for the LP versions of Rambo?

Nobody here, but Quartet has been releasing vinyl for about four years now, quite a few of which have sold out, so I would assume they know their audience better than we do.

I'm one of those people who still prefer CDs to vinyl, but I'm also one who would rather watch a scratchy 35mm print of an older film than a crisp modern digital version, so I can't really judge other people's format preferences.

I still find the unpredictability of vinyl quality a little maddening. I had a lot of time to play vinyl during the shutdown, and in short succession I played a decades-old, used vinyl copy of Forbidden World which sounded flawless, and a new, sealed copy of The Devil's Candy which had notable surface noise.

Ha! I think you're just teasing me, but just in caseā€¦

Quartet knows that vinyl, in general, sells for them. They do not know if any specific vinyl will sell for them.

Just as Disney+ knows that Star Wars, in general, is successful for them. They do not know if any specific show will be. Warner Bros. Discovery knows that comic book films, in general, are successful. They do not know if Black Adam will be.

I like LP for the cover art, other than that, I do not see the point. I wonder how many units of the sold out LP are really because the like the packaging and they never actually plan the album itself.

Yes, agree. And, likely I am one of the few people that knows what your avatar picture is from.
I like that film very much.

I'm also a big Metropolitan fan (and of Whit Stillman in general), but I mostly chose that avatar because the actor looks like a younger, better looking version of me.

Funny Scott, I love Stillman films, but I think Metropolitan is my personal favorite. There is something about the rawness of his talent and shooting that film with scrapped together locations at parents apartments and without permits in the streets of New York. And all of his young cast were really quite good, especially your doppelganger.
