This arrived in the mail earlier today. Photos are using my duvet as the backdrop. The slipcase box  Side 1 of the poster  Side 2  A book with a bunch of the original storyboards  A foreword from John McNaughton  Some storyboards in the book  If you've seen the film, you might recognise what scene this is storyboarding  A book of essays    A half dozen art cards. The image on the other side is the one that's on the front of the box  Disc 1  Disc 2  Oh, and this card was in the case too:

I really only wanted the standard version, but now I may get that collector's edition for the storyboards alone. I love storyboards. Every movie should come with a featurette that's just the storyboards, or a book of storyboards. Criterion's Repo Man has Alex Cox's original comic/storyboards he used to pitch the movie, and it's awesome.

Which if you're going to have the sheer audacity and complete lack of taste to make something like that (especially in the early 90s) at least make it interesting. I'm not someone who is easily offended by trashy exploitation movies and the like but holy poo poo does that one go too far. I'm baffled that anyone thought "Yeah let's put this out. It's a lost classic!". Junk Food Dinner reviewed LA AIDS Jabber back in 2018 http://www.junkfooddinner.com/2018/05/jfd416-buddies-city-in-panic-la-aids.html They thought it sucked, but if I recall correctly it led to a month or so of amusement due to the the director calling their hotline demanding that they stop showing his movie.

Are there any rumors of Curse of the Crimson Altar getting a decent American bluray release? edit: wait, there is a bluray release under the title The Crimson Cult. Wikipedia says that Curse of the Crimonson Altar was edited and released as The Crimson Cult. So would the The Crimson Cult bluray have less content than the Curse of the Crimson Altar DVD? Amazon lists both of them having a run time of 127 minutes, but Wikipedia lists the movie's runtime as 89 minutes, two minutes longer. So are both of those edited?

Kinda annoyed to discover that these Indiana Jones individual steelbooks look way cooler than the ones I got in the full set.

Gripweed posted:Are there any rumors of Curse of the Crimson Altar getting a decent American bluray release? As far as I know, there is no 127 minute cut of the movie. Both versions are uncensored, but The Crimson Cult for some reason had the score re-recorded in the '80s with synths and that's what's on the US blu-ray.

That movie would be redeemed for me if every single time they refer to the perpetrator in the movie, they call him by his full title of "The L.A. AIDS Jabber".

 As someone who bought the ashes of a dead member of one of my favorite bands, this seems pretty tasteless.  (Edit: the Frogs fan inside me is loving cackling, though) caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Apr 28, 2022 |

Yeah that's not great. I understand the value in preserving offensive trashy exploitative movies, and even the fun in watching them. So I don't think they shouldn't release that or people shouldn't buy it. But the merch does make it seem like they're fully on board with the movie mocking AIDS

Lol yeah that pen is just a bit too overboard. Preserve the movie all you want, but maybe not merch like that. Though if they were donating the proceeds to aids preventative research or support groups for the unhoused that can’t afford treatment for pre-existing conditions that would be something even if they product is still gross.

Now that you mention it, wasn't there an old episode of South Park where Cartman contracts AIDS and then gives it to Kyle via his blood? Maybe that episode was inspired by the Jabber.

I’ve got a Jewish friend who had to put up with years of “ironic” Jew jokes from mutual friends thanks to the show, so South Park, its fans, and its creators can go gently caress themselves.

Same. I'm also part Asian, so the Chinese guy turning up with the "Mongorians" poo poo loving sucked. I'm the only person the Jewish guy in my year level has kept in touch with, funnily enough, because I was one of the few who didn't constantly make lovely Jew jokes. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Apr 29, 2022 |

Tenebrae already looks stunning on the Synapse blu-ray, I'm sure it's even better in UHD but I dunno if I'd upgrade right now.

I've loved the few times I've gotten stuff from partner labels (Tragedy Girls, Knife+Heart and Her Smell; I keep thinking about getting I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History As Barbarians or Rebels of the Neon God but I keep waffling on if I should wait for the half-year sale)
