out of print

I'm sure this is the sort of thing that's been discussed before, but 
I can't help but bring it up. I think it's a terrible injustice that 
so much of David Lynch's work is not readily available in the United 
States. I know there are lots of legal issues that are to blame for 
certain things being out of circulation, but look at this list:


-- Despite the first season of Twin Peaks being released on DVD, the 
pilot and second season have yet to surface. There have been rumors 
saying they will AND will not be released next year, but no one seems 
to know for sure.

-- Lynch's two other TV series, Hotel Room and On the Air, are out of 
print. Granted, both were short lived and didn't garner nearly as 
much success as Twin Peaks, but certainly there's a market for them 
among hardcore Lynch fans. After all, I know that at least Hotel Room 
was officially released on VHS years ago.

-- Industrial Symphony No. 1 is out of print. It used to be available 
on VHS as well.

-- Eraserhead, a cult classic cherished by many a movie fan, is only 
available through Lynch's site – and at a ridiculously high price, 
probably because Lynch had to get them printed himself in relatively 
limited quantities. I KNOW there's a market for a proper DVD release 
for this film.


Lynch is a highly revered director and certainly has been a creative 
pioneer in American cinema. It's a little hard to swallow that the 
companies that own the rights to his out-of-print work would just let 
it go by the wayside.

What do you guys think?

PS – I'm part way through watching the Twin Peaks series for the 
first time, and I'm really loving it – no big surprise there!
