jaedmc Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's been a while since I've scored so I just went hard on the Arrow Easter sale. The Big Clock - a great Ray Milland/Charles Laughton noir HOUSE Box Set. Because why get just one? Maniac Cop - Which I get confused with Psycho Cop, but this is the one with Tom Atkins and Bruce Campbell One. Two. One. - a dvd of a Mania Akbari film. Haven't seen it yet, but she's an incredible artist. Tout Va Bien - I have a lot of Goddard films but not this one. This is the one with Jane Fonda and a strike at Sausage Factory. Pieces - Now that I'm getting more leeway from the family on horror films throughout the year I've gone crazy building that part of my collection up this is a must. Sister Street Fighter - This goes with the Shout Factory Street Fighter set I got, and now I've fully upgraded my old DVD box set that had all of these films. I'm an addict. Dekalog - I decided on this instead of the Criterion release. From what I understand this is a better release and one of the reasons why I got the new region free player. Dead End Drive In- because I've never seen it and it takes place in one of my favorite places. The fucking Drive In The Apartment - I've been trying to get this for forever, but the Twilight Time release went OOP and then so did the US Arrow release. Now it is mine. ...................... Lots of shit coming down the pipe including RAD it Vinegar Syndrome. That'll be for the big big May sale. I'm probably saving up for that. Severin has THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH coming and a fucking package that includes a shirt. I feel like if I'm going to get it, I have to get the shirt. Anyway it stars EDWIGE FENECH who is awwwwesome. Mill Creek is putting two more of the Andy Sidaris Savage Beach movies. They both of Buff Bagwell (In Day of the Warrior he basically dresses like Tatanka)and Julie Strain - so clearly must haves. And Film Movement is putting out a box set of 4 Alastair Sim movies. https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=26650 So much shit. Gonna need a job soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Still proudly have my $5 copy of Pieces. It gets an airing about once a year. I heard they made one that has the actual puzzle or something? Edited April 10, 2020 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I got $10 a while ago from Criterion Collection, and then $10 more recently from Criterion Channel. Used them both to buy GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL and upgrade my copy of DR STRANGELOVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 @jaedmc what’s the model of region free blu ray player you’re using? I’m looking into going region free myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking into going region free myself. This lil dude: https://www.220-electronics.com/sony-bdp-s1700-region-free-blu-ray-dvd-player.html If you buy it from that webpage you have to add 40 bucks to make it region free for bluray otherwise it's just region free for DVDs. I bought it from the same companies Ebay page: https://www.ebay.com/itm/232556431648 And I didn't have to add the 40 bucks so 105 flat. Why that is...I don't know, but multiple people have done it on the blu-ray.com forums and it's the same item just cheaper. The ebay route doesn't get you a free HDMI cable so be prepared to get one of those if you don't already have 15 of 'em. The player...feels cheap because it is. It's a tiny little sucker and the remote feels dinky. The user interface isn't super appealing either. So there's nothing slick or sexy about it aesthetically, but it does exactly what I want it to do which is play any disc I want. So I don't care that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I’ve wanted to see this film for a long time, so hopefully it gets a region 1 (or A?) release or I buy that cheap region free player. https://arrowfilms.com/product-detail/the-mad-fox-blu-ray/FCD1996 edit: I discovered Unobstructed View, which is a Canadian distributor for Arrow, but they don’t list the region for their blu rays...

Control Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 7 discs for 5 films. As a point of comparison: the Zatoichi collection put 3 films on each blu ray. So there’s gotta be a ton of extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a big fan of "neo noir" private eye films, and considering how awful the DVD transfer is, I would kill for a bluray release of Marlowe. Even a barebones release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It struck me recently that Meiko is in at least four series--Lady Snowblood (2), Wandering Ginza Butterfly (2), Female Prisoner Scorpion (5), and Stray Cat Rock (5)--and yet I've only seen one of her films. Anything y'all can tell me about this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
