Got an email from Diabolik this morning that my Dawn of the Dead 4K has shipped.

Punch! Punch! Punch!

I checked on my DotD order from Zavvi since it was still "pending", and I'm glad I did because what happened was they didn't have enough stock to fill all the orders, so I'd have been waiting for them to get back in stock. So gently caress that. I cancelled the order and joined the DiabolikDVD waitlist. If I have to wait regardless I feel much better about ordering it from Diabolik. Sucks I didn't jump on it sooner.

I will probably never order from Zavvi direct based solely on how they've handled both Dawn releases.

Personally I'm at 16k.

It's four 4k players glued and taped together, but it runs perfectly.

Heads up, Alien on 4k is pretty much only available at Walmart or Best Buy, not Amazon, but it's readily available. Evil Dead 1 & 2 are cheaper now on Amazon than they have been for a while.

Evil Dead 2 4k is included in the deal, the original is not.

If humans were cookies, I'd be the cookie monster.

During my weekly click around to see if Solid Metal Nightmares happened to be in stock anywhere, I noticed Amazon has it back up as a pre-order at $99.95 with a release of April 6. I was shocked to see this considering the obscene prices since it went OOS. Does anyone know details on this? Is there a difference from the original release? I couldn't find anything. Link:

It’s a repressing without the book. Should still have all the films. Kinda like what they did with the Herschel Gordon Lewis and Gamera sets.

Yes, but only during the sale, this is the flash pre-order for the movies dropping during the sale. They usually have some additional limited merchandise during the sales, and I mean really limited, like quantities of 20 that are sold out before I wake up at 5 am limited.

Six String Samurai tries harder to be a cult movie than pretty much any other movie I've ever seen. It's fine, but I think this is literally the first time I've seen it mentioned since like 1999.

Six String Samurai is good. However, it is "found it in the $5 bin" good, not "$50 plus shipping" good.

I don't care about slipcovers or any of that poo poo I just wanted to get a cheap copy of The UFO Abduction*. When is the actual sale?

OH, I don't exactly know if they'll offer discounts on the partner label stuff, they haven't in the past, but this year is also the first time they've offered discounts on them for the yearly subscribers :iiam:

Man, what a perfect way to describe it. I remember it advertised to death in the film magazines I read at the time, like they really went out of their way to pay for promotions and ad space. It was so prevalent that I later broke down and watched it, and I was pretty disappointed by how totally bland it was.

You can't just set out to make a "cult movie", especially if you go out of your way to pay people to tell other people how cool it is. That's... the opposite of cool.

It's silly as poo poo to be a full grown adult deciding what makes up something that's "cool," but, man, a feeling of effortlessness is key for me and I always felt the effort in every frame of Six String Samurai. It's straining.

I mean, I'll give it credit for closing out the 90's by being the perfect distillation of every 90's indie film in one movie.

Alright, you all successfully talked me out of buying Six String Samurai. I always assumed it was a try hard Tarantino-type of movie, so I never watched it. Going to get some of the other titles they have coming though.
