Now consider something like Daria, which relied heavily on MTV's then-current songscape for its transition and background music... you think MTV wants to pay 17 different music labels so they can get the bridge to Living La Vida Loca playing before the commercial break?

There are definitely a couple of episodes where a joke doesn't work without a specific song ("Everybody Hurts" when Trent's van is stuck in traffic in "Road Worrier," Jane getting paintballed to "Rooster" in "The Daria Hunter") or have really iconic scenes where the music played a part ("What Do You Want from Me?" in "Quinn the Brain"). But as someone who really, really liked the series when it was on, I'm not sure how much of "needing the original music" is just nostalgia and how much of it is the music actually lending something to the scene.

This seems relevant to this thread. Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit supporting music education in US public schools, is doing a benefit auction through April 14th. One of the items they have available to bid on is a $500 shopping spree from Shout! Factory, which is currently sitting at $150.

Severin's site is garbage. I'm just going to wait until Diabolik gets the three titles I want in stock instead (Don't Go in the House, The Bloody Pit of Horror and Night of the Demon).

I ordered the All the Haunts Be Ours boxed set through Diabolik even though it was a couple of bucks more expensive, just to not have to deal with Severin's site again.

I would probably buy a subscription package to just the weird porn if they decided to offer such a thing.

edit: Speaking of weird porn, anyone have the first VinSyn �Smut Without Smut� release (Things to Come / The Dirty Dolls) and can tell me if it�s worth getting? It was a very limited release and rarely gets below $60 on eBay.

Best bang-for-buck sound upgrade is for sure wired headphones. Not useful for group watching obviously, but it�s also a purchase that will last for a long time and the cost is peanuts compared to equivalent quality speakers.

Can headphones reproduce the directional effect you get from having speakers behind you? I've actually never been clear on this.

I continue to enjoy Saturn's Core SoV releases.

Likewise. I met Ross Snyder at a VHS festival and bought Mail-Order Murder from him, and I've since bought everything SC has put out so far.

I've been fascinated by W.A.V.E. Productions in particular for years, and until talking to Snyder that day I had no idea there was a collectors' market for those tapes. They're just... they're not well-made, they're not well-acted, they're not well-written to the extent that they're written at all, they're not sexy and the stars aren't especially attractive... but there's something strangely compelling about them. I get a similar vibe from Todd Sheets's early material.

Speaking of whom, has anyone ever done a good release of Violent New Breed?

If, like 90% of goons, you are in your early 40s and went to an American public high school, you should definitely have Duck! in your collection. It's (so far) the only comedy Saturn's Core have released, and it's basically GBS: The Movie.

I'm watching Red Spirit Lake right now. There sure are a lot of dicks in this movie!

I don't suppose any of the slipcover-haters from a couple pages back would like to sell or give me their slip for The Dirty Dolls / Things to Come, would they? I recently started collecting AGFA releases and that's the only one I bought without a slip and now it's bothering me.

I wouldn't expect a Weird Al biopic to be played straight at all.

He's made one before, called The Compleat Al, that aired on Showtime in 1985 -- it was hard to find for a long time but has since been released on DVD. He plays a heavily fictionalized version of himself, and aside from that aspect the upcoming film will probably go a similar route.

The coupon only came out in the email today. My assumption would be that this halfway sale didn't do as well as they were expecting so they're trying to entice people to buy more before the sale ends tonight.

Well, it worked, because I tried to add Nightmare Weekend to my order but it was one penny short of the $20 needed for the coupon to work, so I had to go ahead and get The Laughing Dead, too.

Well played, VS.

edit: And I'll use the $10 during Partners Month on either Wicked World or whatever the next Saturn's Core release is (come on, Twisted Issues).

If you used the $5 code they sent out over the weekend, the additional $10 code for partner releases doesn't become active until next week.

Goddamn VS, two days after a sale and I'm already planning out another $100+ order. Looking at Video Violence, Red Lips, and Final Flesh, and probably Killing Spree too.

edit: Oh poo poo, Apocalypse After is already almost halfway sold out!

Normies also aren't watching Tammy and the T-Rex or Jess Franco porn movies.

Also I can't help but feel like a lot of the people buying up the limited, never-to-be-printed-again VinSyn blu-rays aren't collectors or porn aficionados but just your regular flippers, scalpers and speculators. For every niche hobby you get a swarm of loving parasites trying to ruin everybody's fun to make a buck.

Even if that�s true, there wouldn�t be flippers if there weren�t people willing to buy things from those flippers.

I'm telling you people, if you want your VinSyn orders fast, you gotta do the full year sub (half-year works too, but you miss out on being in the front of the line from January to June). It's not like you weren't going to spend all that money anyway.

Most of what I buy is from partner labels -- I'm currently collecting AGFA and Saturn's Core -- but if I bought enough VS releases to justify it I absolutely would.

That would be a day one purchase for me. It�s one of his most deliriously inspired movies, and every time I see it I�m flummoxed that more people aren�t excited about it.

It certainly makes more sense for a boutique release than Pink Flamingos does. Like, how regularly does anyone really watch Pink Flamingos? You watch it once, and then you periodically show it to your friends prefaced by "oh my god, you'll never believe how gross this movie is."

I, Butthole posted:

I hope Criterion just goes for the rest of all of Waters' oeuvre. Even the "lesser" works are great and uniquely his.

Hairspray and Cry-Baby are Universal catalog titles, Shout Factory has a pretty good Serial Mom release, but I don't think anyone has anything after that.

I like Pecker a lot, but I don't think I own it even on DVD.

This is true, but the second one is a true rarity as a comedy sequel that's better than the first.

The Brady Bunch Movie on Blu with the deleted scenes (which have never been released, including some cut cameos from original Brady Bunch kids) would be a day-one purchase.

The AGFA Doris Wishman box sets magnetically stick together.

edit: Also, they reassigned the catalog numbers at some point since the initial announcement. Twilight Years is 38, Moonlight Years is 39, Final Flesh is 41, so the third Wishman set will be 40.
