This weeks new arrivals.

First three from the Network sale, the others from Music Magpie.

Been wanting the feature length Halloween doc for years that is on disc two of this release, and i used to own the Kim Newman BFI dvd but gave it away to a mate.

Amazon tried to tempt me with the complete Dexter 1-8 for £18. Having never seen an episode and feeling tight, i saw that Dexter series 1-3 was available for the pricely sum of £3, so pulled the trigger on that. Another 30 odd hours of tv to watch. D'oh.

Charity shop finds.


How's 13 ghosts was going to give it a watch tonight

Well I do remember being violently unamused by it, if that's any help :pound::behindsofa:

Another one that got my attention in the October marathon thread, Rosemary's Killer. Will watch on the weekend as got a bit of a queue forming for the October films already that need's taken care of, lol.

Excellent film with some grisly murders. Tom Savini's best work in my opinion.

Hope you enjoy it.

Got these today

Network sale order arrived.

Picture quality is great on the stand, but it's only on one disc , I thought it would of been on two.

One this week.

£1.50 charity shop.

I believe that because it’s not anamorphic widescreen you can fit more time for the same quality because it uses less pixels!

It's 4:3 that probably explains it.

Same. :pop2:

Got The Stand today as well. Had a quick scan through it and it looks pretty good. My only gripe is that I was hoping it would've included the opening & closing credits on all the episodes, but it just the same version as the old Artisan dvd, full opening credits on episode 1, closing credits on episode 4, and episode title cards at the beginning of 2, 3 & 4.

Still hoping some day to get the original version of the 1990 IT miniseries. They just cut out the whole opening scenes from episode 2 with the credits for the vhs/dvd/blu-ray.

I got the mini-series Shogun on Blu-ray dirt cheap recently and the opening credits had been removed from all but the first episode, the end credits had been removed from all but the final episode and the individual episodes had been re-edited in order to make fewer longer episodes. The series looked great and I enjoyed it very much indeed, but things like that make a release less enjoyable for me.

Arrived (both upgrades):

This blu ray looks beautiful.

Been meaning to upgrade for a while. Can't say no to that price.

Its an absolute steal for that.

I know what you mean. I think they did the same with the first (maybe second as well) season of Tales from the Crypt on dvd. Only the first episode on each disc had the opening sequence and the last episode had the closing credits (if I recall).

I can see the point as i always fast forward through opening credits after the first episode unless i love the credits / music (Hi Smallville and Angel) but i also want the option of fast forwarding and not have it taken away from me by studio execs that think they know best.

Picked up a Cloverfield blu-ray from Cex in exchange for a one pound Cex voucher (that voucher has been living in my wallet for quite some time). Since the film has intentional video glitches, it's gonna be pretty much impossible to determine whether or not my secondhand copy is in perfect working order. :) btw Kinda funny that a film like this was released on 4K UHD format.

Arrived:

Nothing really 'new' in this batch. 1 straight replacement and 3 upgrades.

Not films, we been into town and a shop near us is having a sale, it's one of those type shops that sells different / unusual stuff or good quality items but as usual are on the bit dear / expensive side, we be moving soon and saw these paintings and thought they be lovely in the new hallway, can't see them perfectly because they've been wrapped, cost £200 each tho.

The other picture shows some other stuff we've bought from there in the past, just to indicate type stuff it sells.

£2 for the lot at a local charity event

Was it taking place in a sandstorm? ;)

No, just the light on my phone kicked off, for all those who can't see it clearly they are silverhide, battle for Algiers and what we do in the shadows.

:lol: well pictures are getting so realistic these days, i should have took the litter tray out the pic :nod:

Arrived today.

Just bought these from the local Air Ambulance shop for a combined total of £3.

The Alien blu set which looks far worse in the photo than it does in the hand was £2. The lady gave me The Ghost and the Darkness which is region one because i helped her go through some new in dvds sorting out which were copies and which weren't. To her going through dvds is hard work, to me it's fun. Never seen Arrested Development but three series for a quid was worth a go.

Not seen this for years, and keep meaning to, Demdike watched it the other night and I went on Amazon and bought the bluray. I have since found that apparantly the sound isn't brilliant, going to watch it in about 45 minutes anyway :)

Look forward to the review its a great film hopefully the sound isn't too bad ill pick it up if its ok.

I hope the sound is okay seeing as it's a great metal soundtrack. My dvd which is nothing special picture wise has a very good sound.

Today's arrivals from the Zoom weekend deals:

Have you seen In a Lonely Place before, Nos?

No two ways about it. It's a stone cold classic!

Glory is also approaching a five star film as well.

I think I've seen both films before – I've definitely seen Glory, which I thought was very powerful – but, even though the plot seems familiar, I don't know when or how I would have seen In a Lonely Place.

Ok, so there's a sh!t ton of stuff I've ordered from hd wow & Diabolik....


Pretty much every vestron video release that'$ not on R2 yet along with The Body Snatcher, Leopard Man & Curse of the Cat People......along with Creepshow 2 & CHUD (arrow) and Dunwich Horror....

Possibly £250 in total....? So i just need to pretend threy didn't cost that!

Hopefully the wife is out when they arrive.....
