I have that previous Daimajin blu ray release, one of the first blu rays i got. I got the Mill Creek Heisei Gamera set at the same time, unfortunately Attack of Legion stops playing halfway through though so I gotta upgrade to the Arrow one at some point.

Is 1917 4K worth a blind buy for $13?

If your employer has some sort of rewards program where they give you like 300 points for showing up every day, make sure to check them. I had 38,000 from nearly 5 years of straight employment and I cashed it in for the following order: Pumkinhead Steelbook (Shout Factory) Shivers (Vestron) The Fly Collection (Shout Factory) The Thing (Shout Factory) Frankenhooker (Synapse) The Thing (2011) Halloween 2 (Shout Factory)

Spatulater bro! posted:A closer look at the Daimajin set. The Daimajin movies are fantastic and I'm eager to see if my subtitle track made it onto the second film! I got hired to do one a while back and I'm not sure if it was for this release or for a streaming version or what.

John Romero posted:why are there 4 true romances none in us Because one is the steelbook and one is the steelbook with slipcover. There can't be just one of those things it has to be both! I really feel like someone at Arrow is laughing their rear end off at blu-ray collectors.

Somehow I missed the memo that lots of the Shaw Bros horror Blu-rays from 88 Films have gone OOP or are about to. So I went ahead and ordered the four in their "Last Chance" section: Bewitched, The Ghost Lovers, The Enchanting Ghost and The Bride from Hell. I already own Hex, Black Magic 1 and 2 and Seeding of the Ghost. Hex and Seeding seem to be OOP. Avoiding some serious FOMO here.

Roth posted:Welcome to the prestige of boutique home video releases. Yeah it kinda sucks. Like, it's great that these movies are getting such high quality releases, but the boutique prices make them much more niche. I remember being a teenager back in the day, going to Suncoast and buying just weird poo poo because it looked weird and I had 20 bucks to spend. That is how I got into Japanese movies in the first place, buying a copy of Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl because it kinda looked like Reservoir Dogs, and being like holy poo poo who is this "Tadanobu Asano" guy, and then buying anything with him in it, and from that getting into Takashi Miike and then Ryuhei Kitamura and Takeshi Kitano and so on. And that was only possible because the movies were cheap! If they had all been 40 dollars with artbooks and chipboard boxes, I never would've seen so many great movies. I get why they're doing it, streaming is eating the world and people buying physical media is a shrinking market, so you need to get more money out of fewer people. And it also ties in to the death of movie retail, places like Suncoast don't exist so people can't browse shelves, so building up a brand and targeting consumers who follow Arrow Videos releases is necessary and also breeds a certain type of consumer base, etc. etc. But it still kinda sucks.

The people still hanging on are the boutique label nerds. The falling of physical media sales is happening with the rising of Criterion Collection sales. I'm pretty sure they're selling more movies than they ever did before. I really miss Suncoast and Sam Goody even though they were both really overpriced.

I love that there was a new Freaked blu-ray coming and then Disney bought Fox and were just like "No, gently caress you." to anything that wasn't one of the spandex fightmans they wanted.

I bought the Mondo LP as soon as I learned it existed. I think the last time Freaked came up ITT, somebody posted that Alex Winter was "working something out" and that was like a year ago? Or maybe I just read that, myself, on Twitter.

My VinSyn Homegrown Horrors order came today and I was not expecting how nice it is. I thought it was just some cheap-ish triple pack in a single case, but it’s a nice heavy box with three individual cases inside. It’s an almost absurd presentation given the quality of the movies inside lmao.

Mine is listed as to be delivered by the end of the day, but it's also listed as still being in another city. I probably won't get it until Monday or Tuesday, so it'll be waterlogged by the time I get home Never had these issues with the USPS

They handed out “official” Freaked styrofoam cups and had everyone drop them simultaneously in sync with the movie. They also had slices of the animation plates from the opening for sale in the lobby. I regret not buying one.

The sad thing is, there’s nothing I remember in Freaked being particularly objectionable, it’s just balls to the wall insane. Had no idea until the RLM video last year that it was a big money picture, but it makes so much sense when you can see every dollar spent on screen.
