Random Four-Pack: High concept edition! Somewhere, somehow, someone thought this was a good idea.  Mama Superior?  You're combining Kung fu and a cowboy film? Who'd ever pay to see that?  Lee Van Cleef IS the goddess Khali IN...

Is there anything stopping Fox from creating an alternative Marvel film universe? Crossover Fantastic 4 with X-men, prominently featuring Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver? Surely there are enough X-men that they could create their own Avengers facsimile as well.

Sony wants/wanted to create their own shared universe with Spider-Man, ignoring the fact that when you only have one series, it's a loving franchise with spin-offs, not a shared universe.

Latest rumors have it that Spiderman is going to be returning to the Marvel Universe fold. A deal has apparently been made between Sony and Disney, but there hasn't been any word on what those details consist of other the following: the original plan was to have Spiderman appear in Captain America 3: Civil War, but it's too late for that, so he will be making his first appearance in The Avengers 3.

Marvel is already inventing new Spidey characters. In the recent Spider-verse series, you have a woman who received her powers from the same spider that bit Peter and also an alternate universe Gwen Stacy that was bitten by the spider instead of Peter. If there's another Spider-Man movie, there's a chance they will resurrect Gwen as a superpowered character. Even Emma Stone suggested bringing her back as a clone (and also Carnage) like in Ultimate Spider-Man. The MSJ fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Because if it's the later there's no way on earth Disney/Marvel could make a Spider-Gwen movie without getting Sony's permission.

Just bought a butt load of old movies on Amazon, they'll be coming in waves, here's the first batch of 'em. I've only ever seen the original 976-EVIL, which is one of my unsung favorites. The first one was directed by Robert Englund and starred Evil Ed from Fright Night. I'm expecting this one to be nowhere near as good.  This movie is a lot more boring than I remembered. The wolfman part is still cool at least.  The eye, ear and nose sticking out of the top of the bag always looked to me like it was just the way the dudes face was supposed to be, so the guy probably just looked like a goblin or something while alive. It wasn't until I saw this poster-sized that I realized it was supposed to be just random parts sticking out the top.  One of my favorite goofy zombie movies. Don't need to see the original to follow this one, it plays out like a more sillier Return of the Living Dead.  The version of Class of 1999 I got came with a new updated (lame) cover.  I always preferred the original  gently caress your yankee blue jeans.  ROBERT GINTY PRESENTS  Gary Busey rockin the Canadian tuxedo on this poster.  My grandfather had this movie in his vhs collection and I've always wanted to watch it. Can't wait to finally see this one.  This movie's terrible, but it came bundled with some of the others.  Another bundled movie, but hey, Jeffrey Combs.  This movie scared the poo poo out of me when I was a kid.  Pretty sure this was posted before in this thread but it's too loving AWESOME to not post again.  After getting these in the mail, I decided to watch a few trailers of them while here at work, and holy poo poo, the end of the trailer for 976-EVIL 2...

I was told that all the original Japanese Power Rangers were dudes but they changed a couple of them to chicks for the American version but still used to same fight scenes to save money so that they would constantly switch genders during each episode.

That's what created the rental market. Video stores would pay the 90 bucks, and you and dozens of others would rent it for 5 bucks, and that's how they made a profit.

I can't speak for any of the others, but this was what happened to the Yellow Ranger in the original series. In Japan, the Pink Ranger was the only girl, but the Americans wanted a bit more than that (shockingly progressive of them, now that I think about it), so the Yellow Ranger was changed to be played by a woman. That's why, despite not being the only girl in Power Rangers, the Pink Ranger's the only one in a skirt.

Gonna be able to gauge a general age consensus as more and more people lose their minds over MRSP video tapes in the '80/early '90s. Somebody break out those $100 Criterion laserdiscs while we're at it.

It wasn't until DVDs came around that everything began to be priced to own, and studios would clamp down hard on videostores that just went to Wal Mart and bought titles the day of rather than pay the higher prices. Like, studios would send people around to video stores and count how many copies of things they had. poo poo used to be nuts until Netflix came along and changed everything.

Video tapes sold to rental stores by distributors for lease by their customers were absolutely $90 and above per copy. Most tent pole releases were $110 per copy. I still have a copy of Army of Darkness floating around here somewhere with the Fox branded (AU)$110 sticker on the cover. The home video market was treated differently. dirtgolem fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Jan 30, 2015 |

As early as the late '80s/early '90s you had stuff like this: Those would be to purchase personally for the home video market. The higher prices were charged to retailers (Though in the early days regular people could still purchase them too). Sometimes if you would buy ex-rental VHS the sticker would still be on there. I'm in the UK but the system still worked the same. When DVD came out the prices dropped for VHS but it was still pretty high for DVDs. The company I worked for (Choices video, for anyone in the UK) hosed themselves because they would order giant amounts of everything. Some direct to DVD dreck would come out and they would purchase an easy 20 or so copies per store and a couple of weeks later would sell them on as ex-rental (Where they wouldn't get bought either). Rentals were never sustainable when everyone got greedy (Blame Blockbuster yes, but then blame studios for jacking prices) but there's a town about 30 or so miles from me that still has a rental store. I've no idea if the system still works the same way. DrVenkman fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Jan 30, 2015 |
