It is now time to flood VS with requests for The Dark Backward in 4K. :getin:

BOYCOTT VINEGAR SYNDROME UNTIL THEY RELEASE THE DARK BACKWARD ON BLU-RAY.

If I do this enough they should have that out in about two years.

I’m interested as well. I’m a Mann fan(n?), and I’d upgrade Collateral though I’d rather have Heat or Thief in 4K.

The bluray.com review says it's a solid upgrade but nothing that will blow you away, just because it's not really that kind of film to begin with. I already own the movie on blu ray so I probably won't upgrade this one unless I see it for less than $10 somewhere down the line.

I think I read in a different thread that Mann hates The Keep, which is why it's never had a proper blu ray release.

It’s such a bizarre movie because it’s got so much talent behind it and the source material is great, and look at what we ended up with.

I'm such a spoiled brat when it comes to presentation that I've been waiting for an HD release to catch The Keep for the first time. Now that I look, though, it appears there's an HDTV transfer floating around out there on :filez:

e: And a homebrew cleaned/color-corrected 35mm scan. Sometimes I love nerds...

It's worth checking out. Like Xeno said it's certainly a flawed film that didn't quite come together in the end but it has a lot of atmosphere and a great cast. And I'm a sucker for movies where the Big Ancient Evil is actually shown, and not just implied.

The movie's biggest problem is that it's so loving boring. And boring is the worst thing a movie can be.

He hates it because it was originally like 210 minutes then the studio mandated a 2 hour cut, when that didn't test well they cut it to 96 minutes without consulting Mann, including taking out his preferred ending.

It never stops.

There is no preferred ending of The Keep because they never shot the ending of The Keep, 'cause Mann couldn't decide on a design, which is probably why he'll never go back to it again. Even an Ultimate Cut probably wouldn't sit right with that dude.

From my understanding they did have an ending he liked, but then Veever died so they couldn't finish the effects. So he compromised on a different ending, which was then cut anyway by the studio. You're right though that cut one wouldn't have been his preferred ending.

I just meant the ending the movie currently has wasnt the ending Mann wanted when he turned his final cut.

Dammit. It looks like maybe my Total Recall preorder didn’t even make it to the UPS truck. Just a “label created” prompt from 3 days ago and nothing else. loving lame.

I wouldn't stress about that. It happens a lot with the smaller labels, where they'll create the label and it sits for a week before UPS comes to pick it up. Hell sometimes the next step I get is "delivered," that's usually through the post office though.

I feel like it's likely because they normally don't do enough volume for the carriers to show up but once a week.

I've got Total Recall from best buy somewhere in North Carolina and my copy of Poessessor with no ship date, but 'back ordered' on diabolik. I pre-ordered that as soon as it went up to. Gotta mean that it probably didnt even arrive to their warehouse.

The Total Recall steelbook is really nice, it comes with like a clear plastic slip cover that has all the technical details printed on it.

Looks like it just got handed off to UPS so I’ll have it Thursday. Annoying but I know there are worse things, like the lemon bars I made for my great aunt that dont have any progress on the USPS tracker despite next day shipping being selected.

VS has been having issues too, but my Beastmaster 4k shipped today. Don't judge me. Swords and sorcery is my favorite genre and oh boy is there a dearth of quality cinema to be found there. Not sure how the black painted tiger is going to hold up under 4k.

It’s been so long without an update that I genuinely forgot I had ordered anything in the VS sale. But whatever, I don’t mind being patient on VS orders because they actually bother to fulfill shipments and they’re a good label.

At least VS has been upfront about delays. Legit goes a long way in my book.


For you Zavvi Dawn of the Dead buyers, I got mine! Hold out hope! If you use usps informed delivery I believe they used United Shipping Solutions as their shipping manager.

It pays to read their newsletter

Vinegar Syndrome, 6 days ago posted:

First of all, we bow down in gratitude for your order(s) and support. And now, we want to thank you in advance for your patience as we begin the shipping process!

So with that said, here are a few very important things as you hold your breath in anticipation of your shipping confirmation email:

First and most importantly, you must remember that it could be several weeks before your order ships and this is not something to be concerned about. Considering the ongoing delays with both Fedex and USPS, along with other delays, Coronavirus shutdowns, and the like, orders will almost definitely take a bit longer than usual to go out.

Second, if you don't receive a shipment confirmation email in the next couple weeks, don't panic! We got a whole lot of orders this time around and (see explanation above) everything is moving slower than usual. With that in mind, there is absolutely no reason to email us to ask about the status of your order. We promise that it WILL ship and that we are working nearly around the clock (at three locations!) to get everyone their stuff as quickly as humanly possible. Order check-in emails greatly slow the process down because we have to take time away from packing to respond to them. We've literally received hundreds of them so far, and the sale ended barely half a week ago! 

Third, when your order does ship, the tracking info might take a while to accurately update. Fedex and USPS are collectively shipping tens of millions of packages right now. Remember that once your package has left our hands, we cannot do anything to make USPS or Fedex deliver it faster. Nor do we have access to any additional tracking data than you do.

Now, to thank you for your patience, we're giving everyone a $5 off coupon which you can use towards anything on the site, once it re-opens. The code is: patience5. It will be valid through March of 2021.

For anything else you might be curious about, simply check our Black Friday FAQs page, here:

Thanks again!
