Or maybe some people hold the company to higher standards than others do.

You start giving passes for substandard and you end up getting only substandard. It doesn't do the consumer any good and it's bad for the company as well.

What's substandard? One man's trash is another man's treasure.

The thing is, and I mean no offence by this, but just because you don't like the releases doesn't mean everyone else won't enjoy them. It can't be easy for a company, in these difficult lean times to strike the balance between titles which will appeal to cult film fans and which will also bring in a lot of money.

Let's put it this way. You have a company and your releases include meh Italiam c-list films like Super Bitch or Christmas Evil. Meanwhile Company B puts out classics like They Live or sought after slashers like Terror Train. Who do you think is going to grab the collectors money?

Arrow is a business at the end of the day and this isn't the best business decision. Troma was a mis-step. Hardcore Troma fans are getting there DVDs from Troma( they actually put together a pretty good package for there films)

I'm not downing the announcements because it's fun and I'm definitely not trolling I actually want the company around and doing well for a long time.

Yes men infuriate me because they champion everything done by the company and that's never healthy.

This wasn't a total loss for people who don't have ZFE that's going to be a good seller. Many n that list are things they need to hope people will pick up for cheap during a Sale.

I just can't get over the fact that there will be no LE for ZFE. I bet if they'd do one, it would be such a big seller. There's so much great artwork available, and it's one of their biggest releases.

I just realised Super Bitch is a really Really REALLY bad title to use. Why not the UK title Blue Movie Blackmail which is much better.

I like Massimo Dallamano, Ivan Rassimov and Riz Ortolani but i really hope this isn't some stupid female Superman parody movie

Maybe that's why?
