It also makes it hard to sell out of anything when you shut down your websites store at random hours haha.

Is code red the only place to get Messiah of Evil on blu?

I'm not saying his goals and products don't have any value or anything, but expecting a third rate Corman film like Equaliser 2000 with one interview with the director to perform anything like Vinegar Syndrome's Liquid Sky or Arrows edition of Reanimator is kind of insane.

If he's comparing his business to how fast VS sold out of Liquid Sky he's definitely clueless. Judging by how much of VS's site is still selling the limited edition slip covers, Liquid Sky was an outlier, I mean Ice Cream Man only recently sold out after 4 months and Disconnected still has slip covers as of the last time I looked. You can even run through their catalog and there's still a fair amount of slip covers over the past year that aren't sold out yet.

I want to have Blu-rays of Roy Andersson's Living trilogy: Songs from the Second Floor, You, the Living, tl;dr: Pigeon. I don't have multi-region player. What are my options?

Also Andrei Tarkovsky's Mirror would be great to have on blu, but that's probably a tall order.

Screen Archives has that title. They ship fast, and are Pepe-free. I buy Code Red titles, but never from his BigCartel. Ronin Flix, Diabolik DVD and Screen Archives have them.

It was really disheartening for me to go to Tromadance a few years back and realize this. I got quite sad watching Lloyd Kaufman dejectedly try to explain to an audience full of alt-righters that discouraging slurs and discrimination against the disadvantaged is not the same as censorship by the "PC police".

1) not necessarily. using pepe, period, pretty much tags you as a nazi nowadays unless it's specifically in the context of antifa stuff (which is usually super, super obvious).

2) jesus, they should have paid you $3 for that movie

15th uses an older master that looks pretty bad in 1080p, while the 20th is a fresh restoration (6K scan, 4K master)

That's nuts. And any Disney/Marvel blu is worth at least $5 imo, I even have the 2nd Thor.

quote:

Due to some rather large orders that did not get scanned properly due to USPS being busy due to holiday mail, I have no choice but to ask you to only do small orders, to avoid this huge loss of money I just encountered. so your orders can only be 4 items AT A TIME per order! they will be shipped separately to avoid this fiasco that happened. If you buy more than 4 items per order, it will result in automatic cancellation and refund.

Also I am not amazon prime, so if you email me on where my product is, or I need to now for christmas or new year , then it will result in automatic cancellation and refund.

Also these new orders will most likely go out .processed at the start of new year/first week of January so please remember this.

And no, I am not the only one going through something like this, as Mondo Macabro and Severin seems to be experience what I been saying all along.

Not to mention stuff like the Shakma blu only being able to be found on their store by searching under "hats". It kinda reminds me of early Timecube stuff where it's only gonna get weirder in a bad way as it goes on


edit: is there a new Alien transfer hitting streets or something? Fox just released this new recut trailer for it

I guess it's similar to anime and heavy metal. There's nothing inherently wrong with liking it, but the peculiarities of the genre probably do attract a disproportionate number of creeps.

Kino Lorber will be releasing Becky Sharp, the first 3-strip Technicolor feature, from a new 4K restoration from original nitrate elements.

Not an amazing film, but a key part of film history like The Jazz Singer and The Robe.

One of them has to be Night Train to Terror, 'cause it's one of the greatest films ever made.

That or Christmas Evil, which is also, coincidentally, one of the greatest films ever made.

It's not on sale but that Alex de Renzy set also looks dope. It's got this documentary Weed, which is required viewing.
