My Severin order arrived! They sent me the wrong stuff!

This happened to me last year or 2020, I can’t remember, but it was a whole ordeal to get what I actually ordered. I had to actually DM their twitter to even get a response three weeks after the order arrived and at first they insisted they hadn’t screwed up and wouldn’t fix the issue.

They get decent films, but fuuuuuuuuuck Severin.

In the time since I ordered the nun box set I have watched a couple other nunsploitation movies. Which were terrible and have me thinking that this genre is not the deep vein of blasphemous lesbianism I was hoping it would be. I might just keep the Andy Milligan box

Star Trek is getting a new box set with all 6 films in UHD. Sorry/thank you? to the people who bought the 1-4 collection last year.
Also up, the first movie gets a Director's Cut since that 4 disc set only had the theatrical version. Still unclear if you'll get the theatrical and the new director's cut in the new boxset, possibly making that first box set the only place for the orginal version of the film.
On the plus they are at least releasing movie 5 and 6 as individual skus too for the 1-4 set owners.

Army of Darkness is getting a UHD from shout/scream. Sorry/Thank you? to the people who bought the "groovy" collection of 1+2+the tv show. No clue which versions are in this one, for there are many (I think I finally saw the workprint version that cuts that stuff back in)

Evil Dead 2013 also popped up for anyone really into the remake. I think the rights split stuff would prevent all four films from being in the same set, who knows.

The uhds of 1 & 2 seem to stay around 15 bucks, and sporadically go even cheaper. 20 bucks for 3 seasons of Ash Vs Evil Dead isn't bad on BD but I don't think I'd ever rewatch the show, unlike the films.
Tbf there might be some other exclusive thing to that set I don't know about. Still glad I waited to grab all 3 individually

amazon has the steelbook art up on that pre order, decent enough if that's your kink

e: also up on shouts site now, says 4 discs, so maybe 3 cuts and the workprint/TV stuff in SD like usual? https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/army-of-darkness-collector-s-edition-1?product_id=7884

I'm legit surprised they decided to do individual SKUs of the last 2 films instead of making y'all buy the thing twice, because..Paramount.

I also would not be surprised if they don't include the 4k release of the theatrical version in the DE or new box set making completionists seek out the 1-4 collection, because..Paramount.

Also, while we're on the Paramount thing, it will be a cold day in hell before I own the godfather 3, I can wait this one out ya mooks.

I never saw that directors cut that came out recently. I am intrigued but I also don’t get a lot of enjoyment out of The Godfather in general so it feels like a slog to get to 3 just to see if the DC is any good.

They do charge unless you use a payment plan on PayPal or the “pay later” function on PayPal.

Honestly while I would prefer they charge when it ships, if you are gonna charge then just do it instead of putting a hold, the hold expires, you put a hold, it expires, repeat for weeks/months until it ships. That is just obnoxious.

Yeah there’s some shots that are mid-tier TV show CG quality; everything was way too smooth and shiny. The old DVD version was probably just as bad but it wouldn’t have been as obvious in 480p.

Yeah I remember the DVD looking just fine, but UHD is unforgiving. The observation lounge scene is just...guys, throw in the towel, a bigger window isn't that important. You can't do digital compositing with all these sharp high-res edges on people with 70s film elements like that, there's no good outcome there. At least the substance of the movie is unchanged and they didn't do any Star Wars bullshit like musical numbers or background comedy.

Is the “observation lounge” the part at Star Fleet HQ where the flying cars land? That looked exactly like a modern remaster of an old FMV point-and-click game or something - these really obvious “sprites” moving around against a static background.

No, though that scene is pretty bad too. The observation lounge is this scene between Kirk, McCoy, and newly-arrived Spock where the background was originally a small window, and on the DVD they either made the window bigger or doubled it or something, and on the new restoration they, like, make the room bigger by stenciling out the foreground elements and almost make it like ten forward. It's bizarre.

Yeah it’s annoying. I stick with the payment plan usually. The whole system is predatory if you take a look at what it’s doing to young GenZ kids, but it’s cool if you got a steady income and don’t want to dole out the entire pot in one go.
