It's classic sword and sandal fantasy, so if you're into that then you'll like it.

“Archive commentary for Conan the Barbarian by John Milius and Arnold Schwarzenegger”

First Conan is a classic and has one of the best musical scores. Second film is less good, though I haven’t watched Destroyer in a while.

Destroyer is the perfect AD&D 1e movie. It feels like a damned adventuring party in an old school game.

So many great preorders announced this week

Criterion:
La Haine 4K
Picnic at Hanging Rock 4K
Werckmeister Harmonies (plus Bela Tarr's first film Family Nest as a bonus feature!)
I Am Cuba
Dogfight

Severin:
Burial Ground 4K
Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein
Bloodmoon

I might just get Werckmeister for now and upgrade La Haine and Burial Ground later

Event Horizon is an excellent looking UHD, I happened to just rewatch it the other night for the horror bracketology thread. Just a very stylish film.

Indicator finally announced the 4k for The Demoniacs, my absolute favorite Jean Rollin film. 4/22, three cuts of the movie. Essential purchase for any Rollin fan, as are Indicator's other JR 4ks.

The Nude Vampire is the other Rollin title coming out that day.

Just got a notification that VS has some delays in terms of receiving stock and due to the large volume of orders, "shipping may be carrying over into the month of February." They're hoping to ship subscriber orders around mid-next week, with non-subs going out after that

Considering I've had two snowstorms in a week, definitely not gonna complain about not having boxes stuck out in ice or giving a mailman extra hell coming up my hill. But yeah, just a heads up for people that were curious about the timing

Since the price has been reduced somewhat, decided to upgrade my copy of Southern Comfort by pre-ordering the upcoming VS 4K set.


The film deserves better than the barebones release it got in the UK previously anyway. Considering how good Second Sight's work is, it really is a surprisingly barebones release from them.

Portland's covered in three inches of ice, take all the time ya need, VS.

I just hope it's cleared by next Friday when Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth drops.

That segment where the old Hoboes complain about how they were into Hoboing before it was cool and how all the kids were coming in and ruining the scene was loving hysterical.

That ruled, but my fav was the hobo art show with the narration of what the art meant to the hobo that made it.

There's a sense of sadness that looms over it all but it's filled with genuine humor. The movie is about hobo culture dying out because of the changing world and its part documentary part fiction

I gave it 4/5

I probably should have specified that was one of the many scripted scenes with actors (of course Coleman Francis shows up at one point) rather than being part of the documentary footage. Definitely having a giggle at the filmmaking, not watching it Freak Show-style.

I need to get back to that Last Picture Show box set, but I'm pretty sure if I crack it open, I'm just gonna watch Wild Blue Apes again. :getin:

That sounds fascinating. I gotta check that out

I've known many travelers. One offered to take me riding about ten years ago, but I just couldn't. Too fat to clamber up/off a train, health bullshit, and even with an escort I was afraid of being a tourist. Kinda wish I had gone.

The hobo alley Christmas scene was loving wild. That set is exactly the kind of weird cultural detritus I just can’t get enough of. The documentary Against the Grain was a lot of fun too.

Got my Dellamorte set from Severin and drat this is nice. I felt a little guilty for spending extra on the frivolous poo poo, but these things are heavy duty and well made. The slip is thick, the booklet isn't cheap and thin. The pins are huge and have their own case. The snowglobe is heavy enough to be a weapon. A really nice quality set.

On Home Theater Forum, an industry insider noted that it would be a "major release" which leads me to believe it won't be just an A24 site exclusive.
