But why should a Hollywood classic (and still THE most successful film EVER MADE) be taken down because ONE PERSON (a NomBody, to quote my 3 year old grand child) decided he didn't like it's dated/old fashioned techniques!! THAT'S a slippery slope, my friend.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 5:06 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) And Oct might be onto something with his 'political machinations' theory. That's some serious sabre rattling going on right there! Ain't nothin' gonna get you noticed better than some FREE THE PEOPLE!!/LET'S LIBERATE!! shout outs! And his Delusions Of Grandeur will help him fit in nicely with all those other self-serving bar stewards.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 5:18 AM     By:   JEC   (Member) Let's see if TCM caves and pulls it too.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 6:22 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Film studios are not in the business of historic preservation.

They have every right to delete things from the catalog for any reason they want, whether we like it or not.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 6:36 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Film studios are not in the business of historic preservation.

Its all dog whittles and fake activism by hypocrites who enjoy their smart phones and clothing made by slave labor around the world.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 6:42 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Film studios are not in the business of historic preservation.

And I doubt that a film studio is going to cave to the pressure of the last hundred people on the planet who remember this relic. I want Ford to reissue the 1965 Mustang, but they are not listening to me. And I bet there is greater demand for a '65 Mustang than there is for "Gone with the Wind."    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:00 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Thing is, like it or not these are the actions of a misguided minority either believing they're doing something good or making a calculated move for personal gain. The few should not dictate to the masses.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:06 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Thing is, like it or not these are the actions of a misguided minority either believing they're doing something good or making a calculated move for personal gain. The few should not dictate to the masses. Where is it written that every book, record, or film shall remain in the catalog? The rights owners have every right to sell or not sell their product. If there were huge demand for "Gone with the Wind," they would reissue it. Fact is, no one cares about "Gone with the Wind" anymore. Supply and demand, baby.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:15 AM     By:   Rameau   (Member) Film studios are not in the business of historic preservation.

Yes, & we have every right to comment on that decision. And I really don't give a damn, anyone who want's it can buy the Blu-ray, I have the 70th anniversary edition with all the extras, but I doubt if I'll every look at it again, nothing to do with the racism, it's more that it's a bit of a stretch, esp. the boring second half.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:17 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Film studios are not in the business of historic preservation.

These are some strange old times we're living through.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:31 AM     By:   paulhickling   (Member) Maybe I missed it but I don't remember any fuss over the character Pappa Lazeroo Frome the league of gentle men. First thing I thought when I read about Little Britain. Think it's also the reason why The Goodies aren't repeated.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:33 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Dya know who's got loads of them? Charity Shops!! Wait til dem buggers re-open. They'll do a ROARING TRADE in DVD's of GWTW. Roll Up! Roll Up! Get Em While You Can!! 99p each or 3 for a quid!    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:35 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Mighty Boosh and League Of Gentlemen got hit today!! It's the blackface.

These are some strange old times we're living through. I have a room full of LPs, hundreds of which have never crossed over into the digital realm. I shed no tears over "Gone with the Wind." The reasons behind the deletions don't make the deletions any better or worse. On the bright side, you can go to the Herman Miller website and still buy classic Eames and George Nelson designs. Gotta take the good with the bad.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2020 - 7:38 AM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) Everything is slowly disappearing from existence!
