SHAM014 - Who Saw Her Die?

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Ah bless your hearts Vip 'n' Halloween!

I've had my beers, a barbecue, an episode of the Sopranos and a Hammer House of Horror and I'm full of good cheer!

As matters stand we can't complain - a lot of indies are going to the wall right now and we're still here and it's these forums that had a lot to with perdsuading us it was worth carrying on so you guys very definately do your bit and it is appreciated - a lot.

The problem really lies not with Zavvi - they're up for the DVDs - it's the whole infrastructure behind most of the UK DVD market is hell bent on driving out the indies like never before - you see a company like Tartan go down and you know it's time to get scared. Expect to see more depart in the coming months (in fact a big stalwart of the UK DVD supply chain kicked the bucket today which is not going to help).

We're going to keep listening to what you guys want and where possible make it happen because it seems to work! What is interesting is that we increasingly feel that indie distributors that don't listen to their customers and just schock out the stuff are going to disappear and that's fine quite frankly. Shameless has changed a lot within its first year and that's down to you guys - it's also why the schedule keeps getting pushed back - we're up for trying harder.

Right - bed time - I'm starting to rant

But they're spot on Almar,Blackhorse DO get shelf space in Zavvi with reissues they can't even be bothered resubmitting for recensoring-whereas Shameless ALWAYS deliver the goods where possible.HMV always have the titles in.....
Blackhorse are the 'Saniflow system' of the dvd world-they keep churning out the same old shite.....

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Oh it didn't escape me in Zavvi that they still had umpteen copies of really terrible horror films so it's clearly a long road ahead...

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

You all know what a Saniflow is?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Anyway-this one still on schedule Almar?-it seems like an eon since I sold my BU version without watching it-now desperate to see it....

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Yup - still on schedule - precious else is though!

So this is out on Monday then? Happy days.

I cant wait for this one.
Be interesting to see what shelf space Shameless get with this title, compared to the Blackhorse release's the same day.

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Ah no the July releases moved to the end of August - so Monday 25th - I know, it's frustrating! But we had to give ourselves enough time to put together DVDs that deserve your bucks!

Cheers for the heads up, otherwise I'd have been in here cursing Zavvi and HMV this time tomorrow.
