Craig signed a two-film extension after Skyfall made a zillion dollars. So he's got Spectre and one more.

Arrow's 2-disc deluxe edition of Society is already going out of print. Arrow themselves is sold through on both the UK and US editions (really they're identical, just the labels on the package and discs are a little different due to ratings differences), and Amazon UK is sold out as well. Amazon US still has some copies, so order now or forever pay scalper prices - Society - $25.29

Didn't that just come out?

edit: I just checked blu-ray.com and it appears that it's only the limited edition digipack is going out of print. They're releasing it in a non-limited edition with a regular clamshell case in September, though buying the current edition is significantly cheaper.

Yes, the "deluxe edition" with digipack packaging and the sequel graphic novel is the one going out of print. There will be a non-deluxe one with just the discs on September 8.

I just bought it anyway because I really want to see the movie and I figure if I don't like it I can easily resell it for what I paid and it's way cheaper to buy the limited edition one.

We know the black and white version exists, because Miller said it's his favorite version of the film and he wanted to release it on Blu-ray. My guess is that WB is going to double-dip, maybe closer to the holidays.

I loved Fury Road but literally the only real complaint I had by the end is that it's an extremely orange & blue movie. Obviously being in the desert is going to provide a lot of warm colors but sheesh Tom Hardy looked like a carrot at times.

Flicker Alley added some films to their Masterworks of American Avant-Garde Experimental Film dual format set, coming Sept. 29th.

New additions are bolded. Unfortunately, it looks like they had to drop Motion Painting No. 1 (Oskar Fischinger), A MOVIE (Bruce Conner), and Re-Entry (Jordan Belson). On the upside, the inclusion of Eaux d'artifice probably means Flicker Alley now has the US video rights to Kenneth Anger's films since Fantoma seems to be out of business.

Just because a thing exists doesn't mean it'll ever get an official release. There's a directors cut of the first Avengers out there somewhere that was supposed to get a theatrical re-release that still hasn't seen the light of day. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a double dip situation, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we never hear about the silent and B&W cuts ever again.

How you feel about it isn't my point, but please be the most cliche CD poster you can be by taking any opportunity to get in a sick burn on Marvel movies. The only reason I used it as an example and not something like the directors cut of Nightbreed taking thirty years to surface through official channels is because Avengers is one of the top grossing movies of all time, yet they still didn't end up releasing a cut that was talked about heavily during it's initial run.

The only stuff I can remember being talked about is that Whedon's original cut was three hours along and he said it was way too self-indulgent, and that deleted scenes would be on the Blu-ray. I don't recall there ever being rumors of a director's cut getting a release (and Whedon's already said he isn't doing one for Age of Ultron, either) -- Marvel doesn't really do them, because their directors don't really control the final product.

Director's having no say in it was one of the reasons it was rumored despite Whedon not caring. The big rumor was that, due to the movie being so close to the #1 spot Avatar is still in that they were going to re-release an extended version to theaters in an attempt to hit it. There were even dates floating around, which were all around the same time it was going to be coming out on blu-ray. And then nothing happened.

Some cool Vinegar Syndrome news.

quote:

In September, Etiquette Pictures will be releasing the official home video debut of Lawrence Schiller and L.M. Kit Carson's THE AMERICAN DREAMER on Blu-ray/DVD. Vinegar Syndrome will also be bringing the odd French/American co-production splatter film NIGHTMARE WEEKEND to Blu-ray/DVD in a brand new (and much brighter) 2K restoration! You'll finally be able to see the ending!

Finally, in October, the month everyone is (rightfully) most excited about, we will be releasing the Blu-ray debuts of Norman Thaddeus Vane's FRIGHTMARE and Alfredo Zacharias' DEMONOID (featuring both the domestic and international cuts of the film!).

For people that don't know, The American Dreamer is a documentary on Dennis Hopper from 1971. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177516/

And if you moved on from Blu-Ray, they're launching a streaming service called Explotation.TV on web and Roku on August 20th. "We can't wait to open the doors to over 250 feature films, consisting of our entire home video catalog, a few other partner labels and over 80 previously unreleased films." They used the term baadasssss in the email for it so I'm hoping it includes some of the Melvin Van Peebles movies they licensed.

quote:

SWEETBACK and COONSKIN are scheduled for Blu-ray and DVD release by Etiquette Pictures in late 2015, with DOLEMITE (VS), THREE DAY PASS (EP), and DON'T PLAY US CHEAP (EP) following in early 2016. Additional collaborations between Xenon, Etiquette Pictures and Vinegar Syndrome are planned for 2016.

Certainly not .com, but amazon.co.uk, maybe – though its shipping costs are kinda steep unless you happen to live inside its super saver delivery area.

Lately, I've started finding better deals locally here in Finland and Scandinavia in general. CDON is pretty great Swedish store, and I use it a lot. edit: Nevermind, looks like it only sells music if you don't live in one of the Nordic countries.

If you look on the internet some fans have hacked together a version of what it was supposed to be using the Japanese release and deleted scenes. It of course doesn't have stuff like the extended anime sequence, but it gives an idea of what it would have been like, at least.
