New Criterion list came out. 
 

only new* one i might get is Visions of Eights, 8 short films about the Munich Olympics.

* rerelease of Pickup On South Street 

[Travis Sheldon]

I found a code for an extra 15% off the WB sale, so I got A Mighty Wind, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, The Thing From Another World, and Fearless Vampire Killers.

Probably could have found four more I wanted, but got the cheaps instead.

Arrow’s June releases:

The Italian crime box set looks neat, though it’s not my thing. Will consider the BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE 4K because it’s a fine film and I like their sets.

[Control]

Maybe of interest to you weirdos.

The company that owns Zavvi has apparently bought Arrow.

I admit I’m not familiar with DAIMAJIN.

VENGEANCE TRAILS is a collection of four westerns:

MASSACRE TIME (1966)

MY NAME IS PECOS (1966)

BANDIDOS (1967)

AND GOD SAID TO CAIN (1970)

 

Might try to pick up the UHD of DEMONS since it should be region free.

Pretty much a kaiju series. I remember seeing it on a Reel Wild Cinema episode as a kid, methinks.

I try not to blind buy stuff. But also I love 60s Kaiju stuff.

[Curt McGirt]

All I remember is the big stone giant samurai coming out of the ocean with human eyes looking PISSED and I think crushing a city. It was awesome.

[Curt McGirt]

Well, I found the trailer... and the whole movie.

Full movie

@ControlI don't think you are gonna need much convincing on this one haha

EDIT: Oooo, and our Chicago heroes in Cianide made a song about it, of course, because Mike Perun loves his kaiju.

Oh shit, the second one is directed by Kenji Misumi...

In 4 weeks, Vinegar Syndrome has their "Halfway to Black Friday" sale, where everything is half off and they drop new super secret product.

This may also mean that the B&N Criterion sale is on the horizon.

[Control]

Some things to keep in mind with the Vinegar Syndrome sale: everything is typically 30% suggested retail price throughout the year, so the 50% sale is good, but not as significant of a deal as it first appears. Also, there’s no free shipping during the sale, which can also cut into your savings.

That said, I’m currently eyeing a few releases that I might pull the trigger on during the sale, including RAW FORCE, SUDDEN FURY, BLOOD GAMES, and TAMMY AND THE T-REX. Maybe SURF II.

If I was going to recommend a title, I’d suggest DEADLY GAMES, aka DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUSE. That movie rules.

[jaedmc]

Blood Games is fucking great. My wife picked it for a date  night and it was a highlight.

I saved up for the halfway sale. I'm most likely getting the giallo sets they've released. Also Cthulhu Mansion. Probably take a gander at the special releases.

DAIMAJIN!!!! IN QUALITY EDITIONS!!!!

(No, seriously, they are really fucking good movies)

Speaking of Reel Wild Cinema, the entire run is on Something Weird Video's Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi4gbWwVSq8lT2IRwUgGs8Q/videos It's definitely worth checking out for the interviews with Tura Satana and David Friedman. Oooo and Russ Meyer was in one!

Well shit...

Hopefully it won't dent my PS5 fund too much.

[nate]

I kept it light, I had higher hopes for the unknown titles.

Fade to Black (replacing an older copy); Xtro 3 (I've been binge watching my Columbo season sets, and this was purely due to Robert Culp's involvement).

[Control]

Arrow’s upcoming releases

DUNE in HD, if anyone’s interested.

As for the VS sale, got FADE TO BLACK, SILENT MADNESS, GRAVE ROBBERS, SUDDEN FURY, RAW FORCE, and TAMMY AND THE T-REX.
