The Kickstarter for ARGOMAN is up ...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doradofilms/argoman-the-fantastic-superman-1967-on-blu-ray-and

Backed it!

I hope the campaign is successful. I'm not so sure about selling advertisements for the disc though. When I purchase a disc with my money, the last thing I want is to watch advertisements. I know everytime I go to the cinema nowadays I have to sit through 10-15 minutes of publicity, but it makes no sense for home video formats.

I backed it as well, mostly because I am hoping if this is succesful they will release A special Cop in Action, Violent Rome and Violent Naples...

$28,000 in 30 days? I don't think they stand much of a chance, especially in that time frame. I really can't see anything paying $2000 to advertise which they'll really need. Hope I'm proved wrong though.

3 days in to the program and they're already up to $338. That's roughly $100 a day so if it carries on at this rate they should easily hit the $2,800 target in the 28 day time period.

They're looking for $28,000 not $2,800. Quite what they need that much for I don't know.

The sleeves are going to have real gold leaf lettering for the title.

   I saw the correct figure but my brain couldn't accept it as a realistic target and just wouldn't let my hands type it out.

I think it's the "empty pub" syndrome...when you go out on a pub crawl and find one that is dead, well you pass it by. A vicious circle. In this case folks will think "no way will they reach that", and not bother pledging, i.e. me for example, plus the title is a bit of a special one, so not many folks pledge. Should have went for some Merli and at a lower target!

I agree, however since they seem to be hell bend on getting this release out before they do a Eurocrime box I pledged trying to help out. I am afraid that if this will fail, and lets be honest it will, they will withdraw and might wait for quite a long time before they release the eurocrime box.

And since I cannot find a copy of Violent Rome/Violent Naples on DVD/BR with english sub titles I have my hope pinned on Dorado...(for the observant reader , there is a hint hided in the previous sentence)

15 days to go...

15 days to go...

Not looking good, is it?

[demented_uk]

Not at all. A real shame but no surprise considering their approach.  We know for a fact that a Eurocrime boxset would have got more than 15 pledges. 

[Kevin Coed]

The amount being asked for didn't help. Or the rewards on offer. The HG Lewis Kickstarter was much more realistic in what was wanted and offered.
