This month's VS stuff will all be partner labels

The sale and the mystery titles for the 1/2 way package are still up for debate.

I personally think the "weird 80's movie" that has stars and no blu (from what I could remember from the hints) could be Earth Girls are Easy, since that doesn't have one yet. Would fit perfectly with Drop Dead Fred.

There was a newsletter today and they dropped some more hints

Plus, when the sale goes live, our two secret surprise titles will be unveiled at last. One is a weirdo slice of ‘only in the 80s’ trash, which we’re pleased to present in its ultimate edition, restored from long lost negative elements, and the other an ambitions, no budget monster murder pic which we’ve painstakingly restored back to near pristine quality, from its bruised and battered original negative.

But the real question about Duel is, will we ever see the original cut again?

I've heard of Duel but never watched it. But it's been good stuff and it would be cool to see some really early Spielberg. So I'll probably grab it.

If it was Earth Girls are Easy they’d say masterpiece instead of trash. :colbert:

Does non-Netflix produced stuff that they've bought streaming rights for ever come out on disc? I really want the Sailor Moon Eternal movies. I haven't even watched them because I don't particularly want to sign up for Netflix at this point.

It's not impossible, Castlevania came out on Bluray. But I don't think it's very common

The earlier seasons of shows like Orange is the New Black, Daredevil and Jessica Jones all got DVD and blu-ray releases here in NZ. Roma and Beasts of No Nation also got Criterion releases, so there's that.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a less fancy version of Thriller: A Cruel Picture? The VS thing I read today seemed to imply that there would be. I liked the movie but I don't 50 dollars like the movie.

I know at least some of Daredevil got a blu-ray release in Freedomerica. Not sure about those others but probably.

I do remember them saying something about a less extravagant release. I wanna say the “They Call Her One Eye” cut is exclusive to this set, or maybe just the UHD of it.

Yeah I think you're right. I kind of don't care about that version anyway. Is it any better or worse? I'd love a version that's Thriller without the porn scenes but that doesn't exist apparently.

Watched Alien Private Eye tonight, and folks… it’s good. It’s so good. Like, laughing constantly throughout as the movie found new and interesting ways to be bizarre and goofy.

A+, highly recommend for connoisseurs of b-movie schlock

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible




If they want to do a deep cut, they should include the episode of "The Incredible Hulk" that used a bunch of scenes from the film and pissed Spielberg off.

If you are looking for some excellent and highly underrated 80s action schlock, I highly, highly recommend Shakedown. I blind bought it based off Peter Weller and Sam Elliot alone. It managed to exceed my expectations set by the already fantastic trailer

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)

Ended up buying too many of the partner titles this month lol

That is correct. I forget when the cutoff is but anything released within the past few months is not going to be part of the sale, so you'd have to wait until November for those.

It's in the public domain, so maybe someone else is doing a remaster. The camera negative was apparently found just before Covid.

Behold, my stuff.

When Eight Bells Toll doesn’t just feel like a grittier Bond ripoff, it’s also giving me Johnny Quest vibes. The underwater stuff looks far better than the never ending poo poo in Thunderball. Also the theme sounds more Bond than Bond.

The only version I saw was a terrible DVD that looked like a second generation VHS and I missed out on the Code Red blu-ray so I'll gladly take it until something better comes along. And I love that shirt.

edit: I've never done a pre-order with Diabolik. When I got the receipt it said "backordered" but it charged my paypal account. Is it listed as backordered just because it's a pre-order and not in stock yet? When you go to the page to buy them it doesn't say sold out or anything and I figured if they took my money it must be available.
