But please, I hardly think Scream! Factory are saviours of the horror universe. They put out good product, no doubt about it, but I'd hardly call Arrow's output rubbish. Also, to put things into perspective, Scream! Factory are dealing with major studios and as such have access to top quality source materials and masters. Arrow are dealing with European licensors, materials are harder to find (especially good ones) and have a harder job on their hands than Scream! Factory will ever have. In some instances Arrow have actually had HD masters specially prepared for them, Scream! Factory will undoubtedly just be handed an HD master direct from the major studios, so no work involved. Just a thought. |
You really take my comments personally. Its my opinion.
look you said they deal a lot with European licensing and trust me I feel there pain but when they put out things that belong more in the Shameless category and then put out products that are readily available..and yes you can easily get Troma over there as well, then yes I will stand up with the megaphone and say Bull. Not to you..but to them.
I don't doubt the work that Arrow puts into there releases but don't be as presumptious as to assume that Scream Factory just haphazardly slaps out there stuff either cause thats BS. I am sure nothing is handed to either company.
As for Arrows so-called focus on Euro-horror, I wish they did that but last time I checked Troma and Christmas Evil are not Euro-Horror.
Everything you say is true about the earlier Arrow releases but not now. I am a big fan of the earlier Arrow releases.
Its all about opinion and perspective. If Toxic Avenger and Tromeo and Juilette are two of there next big releases than both you and I should have a problem because neither is the focus on Euro-horror or hard to get films that you just became so excited about.
Right now Scream Factory has been putting out suff thats been on my wish list for years, and before that Shout did the same, and so did Arrow. I'm not a blind follower though if something seems bad I'm gonna say it.
Don't doubt my validity on the site because I'm not in love with the product at the moment. The right release could have me touting Arrow again, which is what I wish I could do. the more companies putting out superior product the more choices I have and the more my collection of dvds grow.
Try not to take it so personally. Chill out, I have nothing against you but I kinda think I'm rubbing you the wrong way and its not intended. I'm always going to give my honest opinion.
