A few words from Shameless

[Sarah@Cult Labs]

Oh, and if anyone finds a HD master for the film down the side of the sofa or something, could you let Shameless know please?

And sitting there saying to themselves... Ungrateful swines!

Sorry, but this title arrangement is horrible. It has to be either Dellamorte Dellamore (preferably) or The Cemetery Man, but definitely not both!

However, these were not forthcoming as, it turns out, the licensors managed to lose their only HD master-master (that's not a typo - by "master-master" I mean the ultimate Big Daddy HD master) before the summer and apparently the only copy that's available has audio issues which they are attempting to correct.

Holy smoke! How can such a thing happen? Sue those bastards!

A persons reaction to the news and the look on their face and sound of their voice can't be translated to print.

Yes, they can! Just read some plays written by Shaw or Wilde - with all the stage directions you can really imagine how the faces of Mrs Warren or Lady Windermere look and how they say what they say!

Greetings!

How can you lose the master? What kind of idiots are running the telecine lab over in Rome?

Most likely the same people who use DNRS till you've got wax faces and add artificial digital grain afterwards.

Greetings!

Some mock-up artwork might quell the masses

Did they check behind the fridge? It's almost always there

In regards to the title saga Dellamorte Dellamore AKA Cemetery Man (as gasteropod stated) would work a hell of a lot better. Dellamorte Dellamore is the Cemetery Man just sounds stupid, and make's Shameless appear to be a company who don't have a clue about the titles they are releasing, when this is clearly not the case.

It's great to hear that Shameless are looking into releasing some of their back catalogue on BD, too. With Blue Underground announcing both Night Train Murders and Strip Nude for Your Killer on BD next year, I'd love to see UK releases of these two from Shameless in the trademark yellow cases. Ditto the already released Torso.

The title issue is simple.

On the main side, visible to punters, have Cemetery Man, with Dellamorte Dellamore in small print. On the inside have a complete Dellamorte Dellamore version.

I'd like to see Shameless follow their own path and release Blu-rays of films that Blue Underground haven't released on BD, such as What Have They Done To Your Daughters?, The Black Cat and Manhattan Baby.

Always keen to hear of new titles too of course.

I would like Mrs. Wardh on Blu-ray
