Shout is also doing a 4k restoration of The Jerk, which has me salivating.

Looks like I got my 4k BD player just in time. That VS sale is great, with the Rudy Ray Moore boxset the absolute highlight.

Thanks for the heads up on Big Lots. There's one a couple minutes from me. Picked up 3 4k discs for $10 a piece. I actually had a $10 coupon, so it was 3 movies for $20.

I guess they're having some sale this weekend with 20% anything in the store. I may poke through the bins again.

Dumb new collector question.

Will this play on my no frills Sony UHD player (I'm in the US)? From what I can see, this set is from Australia. I know blu-rays are region locked, but from what I read UHD's aren't region locked.

Thanks for the heads up on that Criterion Flash sale. Picked up a few Scorsese flicks in 4k.

Angel is an exploitation classic. I didn't get that VS disc but if they drop a 4k version I'll buy that in a heartbeat.

Waited too long to bite the bullet on that Twilight Zone set - wanted to hear back if my dad had a Blu-ray player. Should've just ordered and kept it for myself if he didn't.

I picked it up a few weeks ago for a little bit more than the current price. No regrets. I'm currently waiting for the Miami Vice BD set to come down in price. it's about 50 now, with a low of ~28.

I picked up something long overdue, the Miami Vice BD box set. I think it's going out of print since it's only available from 3rd party sellers on Amazon. I figured I better get it now before it's too late.

The first release under VS' Cinématographe sub-label is 1980's Little Darlings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZgwXFJSQ90

It's a pretty good flick. It was discussed on Quentin Tarantino's podcast so I had to check it out earlier last year.

I got the Criterion Channel Razzie thing confused with their disc releases. For a moment I was the happiest person alive thinking they were going to give Freddy Got Fingered the Criterion treatment.

Darkman 4k arrived today. Can't wait to rewatch that.

Also my MVD Joysticks came in. The alternate cover is pretty cool, made to look like an Atari cart.

Got one myself, ended up getting Videodrome

I picked that up around Black Friday. It's a neat looking box and stuff.

I ended up going with Shaft, Blood Simple, and The Heroic Trio / Executioners. I have to set a limit for myself otherwise spend way too loving much.

I've seen reports of this happening to lots of people - I suspect it is some sort of stuffup on Arrow's part, it's too early to know anything but fingers crossed they can like idk uncancel them?

What in the actual gently caress. I woke up to see 3 Arrow items cancelled.

Basket Case limited edition 4k (that I preordered back in January)
Dune 1984 4k and Robocop 4k that I ordered during their Valentine's Day sale.

I kinda understand the items from that sale being canceled, but how the gently caress do you do that on a PREORDER. You're supposed to manufacture enough to cover preorders. Really leaves a sour taste in my mouth for ordering stuff direct from them.


edit: But I can still pre-order Basket Case again. What the hell.

All I can find is a DVD release but Chasing 3000 isn't half bad. It's a Ray Liotta flick about some brothers that drive across the country to see Roberto Clemente get his 3000th hit. Everyone's wearing 70's Pirates swag, which is loving dope, so it's worth checking out for that. I suppose it pairs well with Million Dollar Arm.

Wild that there's only one baseball movie in the 60's and it's a musical starring actual baseball players.

Also on that list is Major League 3. It's a bad movie, but it stars a basically unknown Walton Goggins and Kenny Johnson who would both end up as co-stars on The Shield.


Not a movie, but Ken Burns Baseball is always a good watch.

I'm assuming another exclusive slip you can only get with the VS Votes purchase that you probably won't see until after Black Friday.

There's also apparently 10 Fatal Games slips that have all expense paid trips to VS Headquarters that no one's claimed 'cause no one's scratching them (including me :lol: )

Ah. I didn't know this was a re-occuring bit. So the Fatal Games scratch-off slip case was from 4/23.

Is MVD good?

I bought Joysticks from them (off Amazon). Apparently that release had a huge audio issue. MVD had retailers pull their stock and told customers to return them, so I did. They're re-releasing it in a few months.

I think it's a solid choice for Criterion. Cruise is for all intents and purposes the last movie star and that was the movie that made him a star.
