If it means they'll TALK TO CUSTOMERS then I'm all for it - but didnt FOX do
that pathetic moon hoax program? I mean - what the hell are they up to?

I think that's why Mark Gray agreed to the partnership. He's very good at
researching and making documentaries, but not very good at distributing
copies of them.

Fox is a many-splendored thing. The network airs programming from separate
units that operate essentially autonomously. Fox Entertainment is not the
same as Fox News. (In fact, Fox News affiliates decried the hoax video,
some of them even airing their own rebuttals with local experts.) Fox Home
Entertainment is not the same as Fox Entertainment. The division of Fox
that will distribute Spacecraft Films offerings was not responsible for the
atrocious hoax theory program.

i always got my DVDs one week after ordering (i live in europe)
his distrbuting was always perfekt.
and yes he is great in making those DVS.
BUT since the cooperation half the to-do list on the website was canceled
:-(
and his realease dates disapeared too.
the shuttle series is no more visible too.
half of his projects just vanished :-(
it seems FOX doesnt want him to make too much at time (because FOX wants as
much money as possible..)
this is totaly **** :-(
i fear FOX now will only let him publish what FOX wants. not what mark gray
and what we want :(
only productions which can be sold to a standard amazon.com public :-(

So long as they never decide to release the program on home video anyway.

You have done better than I. Twice I was delayed when I ordered. I
had to wait for them to "stamp" more out. Each time, I e-mailed
them asking where the "goods" were. Both times I goe a reply a few
days later explaining that they were waiting for more DVD's to come
from the duplicators.

Either it has something to do with the FOX thing, or perhaps,
Mark figured out how many new projects he can attack at once.

Well it is a guess on your part too. My big issue with this FOX thing
is
it looks like some titles I already have will get additional stuff
when they are released under the FOX name. I heard from Mark Gray that
they were working on an "upgrade path". I don't know what that
means, nor to they.

And to add to this topic in general, I pre-ordered Apollo 17 WEEKS ago.
My
charge card has been hit. It was to be shipped mid July, later turning
into
late July. As of right now, "Begins shipping this week". Well.....This
week is almost over. So I wonder, when is it really going to ship?
I would say that Mark Gray & Fox need to get their s**t together.

O'Reilly will refuse to cover Gemini 8 because his show is a no spin
zone.
