The pie fight from Strangelove only exists because a workprint reel ended up at an archive and the premiere cut of 2001 only because a set of separations were made prior to the recutting. Criterion’s Blu of Dr. Strangelove does have deleted material if you watch the lengthy exhibitor’s trailer, which has some alternate takes and angles.

I thought I'd check out the blu-ray.com thread about the current Opera release, and it looks to be very long and the usual infighting etc. Anyone able to summarize what went on? I know there was another release by another company (Scorpion) that sounds like it undercut the 'premium' one that went out. Was there nitpicking over the usual mastering stuff with this current one? I just want to watch the damned movie and enjoy it, as it's one that always got by me.

This is one rare situation where the Best Buy steelbook looks like a better option, at least imo. Simpler is better. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Shining-4K-Blu-ray/242655/

I just want to watch the damned movie and enjoy it, as it's one that always got by me. From what I can see, Scorpion released both, but they put out a standard 1-disc release last year of the English dubbed version and the one they're releasing this month has multiple cuts, dubs, commentaries, etc. Seems like it started as a Code Red project since Bill Olsen is credited on the back (which explains the hilarious phrasing on the back covers of both editions).

Other toofers include The Super Mario Brothers movie (hated it, but I had to take my brother) and, of course, one of the greatest films ever made: Weekend at Bernie's II, which deserves its own 4K Arrow deluxe package with an hour of outtakes of just Barry Bostwick mugging at the camera in-between fat rails of cocaine.

Disney just announced 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.... as a Disney Movie Club exclusive.  They've been sitting on a 4K restoration since 2013 and it's going to be bare-bones despite both the laserdisc and original DVD being absolutely packed with supplements.

I think they're limiting the sale to only people who are members to prevent scalpers/limit traffic? They sent an email out about it a while back and I think that was the gist of it. e: Oh, maybe not.

I'm guessing you aren't the only one with this issue because now the site reads "admin use only" up the top  I think I'm going to grab the two Peneteniary blus, not sure what else. The pissweak Australian dollar means that I'm going to have to be way more selective. Also, last time I picked up a secret sale title, Deadly Daphne's Revenge, it was just...horrible. Not even enjoyable in a way that Ice Cream Man or other 'bad' films are.

VS sent out an email a couple days ago telling you to verify your logins because the site was going to be taken down for maintenance for the sale. For shame if you don't have a subscription to their email newsletter. They do this every sale, but I suspect it's mostly a logistics thing, just making sure the slate is clear before the deluge, and reducing the amount of emails from people bitching about how they bought Demonoid and then it was 50% off the next day. Anyway, because I'm a yearly subscriber they did send me an email, mostly just hyping up the sale, but here's some new information: Vinegar Syndrome posted:Now, some of you might have heard about that cryptic sounding 'VSA' concept. You're now going to be the very first to learn what it is. VSA stands for Vinegar Syndrome Archive and it‘s a new sub-line of random titles specifically intended to be sold to brick and mortar retailers and focus on films made during the golden age of direct-to-video sleaze (roughly early 80s through mid 90s). Unlike our regular releases, these films will ONLY be available through our site and actual physical retail stores. NO OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS WILL STOCK THEM and each edition will be hand numbered 2,500 units at a set price of $25 a release and fitted in a specially designed bottom loading VHS inspired hard slipcase. Due to both the sporadic nature of the releases (i.e. we don't know how often we'll be doing them) and low limited edition total, these unfortunately cannot be included with any subscription or monthly package total.
