A few words from Shameless

[Paul@TheOverlook]

No pleasing some people.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion and it's fair to criticise a company and it's releases but that's one huge sweeping statement you've just made.

I couldn't agree more with Baseball Fury - Shameless has gone way beyond expectation with some its releases (FOOTPRINTS, OASIS OF FEAR - never released anywhere else before in English) - definitive versions of many others (DESIGNATED VICTIM being a high point for me) and the first HD release of FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET (which is a lovely presentation), so you can't say the company is not going the extra mile to keep fans happy.

Some people are never happy, no matter what it would seem.

It is a big woop when you state that you won't bother getting it because Shameless can't hold onto a master. And as for hoping Shameless go under, you'd really want a company out of the game so someone else can release their films? What would be the benefit of that? A few extra features? Sure, even I was disapppinted that Arrow didn't get Four Flies, as we would've had a better edition extras wise, but I wouldn't want it at the expense of another company going out of business, and I'd feel the same about Arrow, or any other company for that matter.

Well I did say I couldn't see why they don't trade releases and let the other company run limited amounts maybe. Tht way they would get more money and those people who are never satisfied could be. But me saying I hope thy go under for my own selfish reasons isn't going to make it so, so u can all calm down.

Even though I don't work in the dvd releasing industry (and I assume you don't either) I imagine there's probably 1000 reasons why it wouldn't be beneficial to trade releases with other companies. 1000 reasons which would make more sense than simply satisfying the needs of one person who isn't happy in the lack of an HD release for one film and who selfishly wants to company to go under (people to lose their jobs etc) as a result.


Probably worth remembering that saying and wishing something selfish, even if it has no chance of actually happening, is still a pretty awful thing to do

Could someone Please show this man the way out.
And FYI, Shameless have arguably done more as a Cult label than Arrow have. I'm still a huge of both but as other people have already given highly valid reasons why I'll let these fine chaps rain on your parade. Twit.

Have to say I've not seen the AB release but the picture quality for the trailer on the Four Flies Blu Ray was mightily impressive.

Also i dont see why Shameless and Arrow cant trade materials, clearly the best option for both companies. im sure there are Shamless enthusiasts.

don't feed the troll.

What a big thing to get lost...maybe someone else found it.

What does that even mean?
Grammer is your freind, BTW.
But to be fair some of the titles on your list are fair enough.
BBB, Macabre, and Slaughter High have all seen very few releases over the years.
But on the other hand, Oasis of Fear, Footprints, Baba Yaga, and Four Flies haven't seen a release ANYWHERE up-until Shameless did there magic.
