Also, I read that MOTEL HELL and SATAN'S BABY DOLL are slated to come out. Again... WHY?? MOTEL HELL is junk, and I can't imagine the level of the mind that enjoyed SATAN'S BABY DOLL. It's utterly worthless. I really hope my opinion on that film isn't a minority one. Besides that, both films are already available in decent Region 1 prints.

What we need from SHAMELESS are not releases of lousy films that are already readily available; we need stuff like AN IDEAL PLACE TO KILL, FOOTPRINTS and THE DESIGNATED VICTIM, like they used to do, which is to say movies that aren't available in English anywhere in the world. That's the stuff that keeps me coming back to the Shameless website, and frankly, at this rate, I might not be back for quite some time.

Please, guys, get with the program... and as for this attitude of "Well, folks in the UK may not be able to play NTSC discs of these titles", too bad for them. They can get multi-region players, which are by no means expensive, and then they can get these NTSC discs online. I say it's up to SHAMELESS to serve up the good stuff we can't get otherwise. Tell me I'm wrong... I dare you. Then back it up, if you can.
Well to be fair,some people didn't have any of the Bronx Warriors films before Shameless released them and I've never seen Satan's Baby Doll.So I have no problems with Shameless releasing them.And while it's nice to have films that haven't gotten a release anywhere,a lot of dvds that have been successful will likely sell again if they are released in better editions,ala Bronx Warriors.If Shameless didn't release things like this and make some money from them,they wouldn't have money to spend on untested films.So it's all good as far as I'm concerned.
