x-posting from the deals threadgey muckle mowser posted:Vestron has announced their first collector’s series titles in quite a while (Shivers and Little Monsters) and you can preorder them as a 2-pack for $23.99 + shipping from DiabolikDVD. That’s like half of what they have cost in the past.

gey muckle mowser posted:x-posting from the deals thread It's about goddamn time they did some kind of release of Shivers. I normally would be like "I don't really give a poo poo about Little Monsters." but two Vestron blu-rays for that price? Why the hell not. That's less than what the usual price of one of their discs goes for. edit: Oh poo poo. They're 13.50 each. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jun 28, 2020 |

Where does everyone prefer to grab Arrow releases? I’m thinking of grabbing Django and preordering Mallrats.

I like the two villains in Little Monsters. Snick is played by the goofy neighbor in the Burbs, and Boy was straight up terrifying.

Honestly, there's a 90% chance I'm not going to be motivated enough to watch the movie before it leaves Netflix and then just buy Shivers by itself because it's somehow way cheaper than I've ever seen a Vestron blu-ray and I still won't give a poo poo about Little Monsters. On the other hand, you know what's a movie that was on tv constantly in the 90s that absolutely holds up? Freaked. BOYCOTT VINEGAR SYNDROME UNTIL THEY RELEASE THE FREAKED SPECIAL EDITION.

It really does, there was a re:view on it recently which encouraged me to watch it again, and it's still just a great fun film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-gk8cHCo4Y I didn't know that it was actually supposed to be a commercial, studio film that cost a fair amount of money rather than the cult classic it became. The creature effects are just so great.

I'm still blown away that Tammy and the T-Rex was released on blu-ray never mind that it got this A+ treatment where they actually dug up the barely seen director's cut and played it in theaters. Like I can't even wrap my mind around any of that. For once complaining non-stop on the internet actually accomplished something.

I appreciate that Freaked is really the last Fox film that managed to get in a couple repertory screenings before everything was shut down and Disney sealed the vault forever. (Alex Winter probably brought his own print)

Brexit the Frog posted:he makes documentaries, often Oh yeah, he was doing that Zappa thing. I guess I just want to see him act in more stuff and make weird crap like Freaked. I feel like doing some crazy poo poo like that would be better received now. Obviously not in multiplexes but the indie theater crowd would eat that poo poo right up.

Okay so I watched Little Monsters. It's loving terrible. Howie Mandel's character is like a really annoying discount Beetlejuice. The movie itself seems like they cut a bunch of poo poo out and at least one subplot. The only thing the movie had going for it was Frank Whaley and he's in the movie for less than five minutes. I can't see any reason people wanted this on blu-ray other than blind nostalgia. Aside from the movie generally being lovely I can't imagine anyone over the age of ten finding any entertainment value in it. Do yourselves a favor and just buy Shivers for 14 bucks.

I was afraid of that, I haven't seen Little Monsters since I was about 10. It just seemed to me like a super odd pairing to go along with Shivers of all movies. I'd say it should be pared with Rabid, but I'm probably biased because I did that as a double feature on Tubi or Pluto or something in the before times.

I figured that was bullshit. MacheteZombie posted:I already preordered the two pack Can't you just cancel it? Franchescanado posted:I just bought Shivers only. Tried watching Little Monsters a year ago and couldn't even finish it. Yeah I was willing to just buy it because 23 bucks for Shivers is a price I'm willing to pay, especially since those Vestron blu-rays are usually 30 bucks at least and don't see a price drop for a while. When I saw you could buy it alone for 14 bucks I was like "Aww, yea.". Thanks to whoever mentioned it. Now someone needs to release the Dead Zone.
