This is kind of like what happened to me last weekend. I listed the first uk DVD of ISOYG on eBay and had the listing removed a day later because apparently it breaches their rules, even though there was 5 more copies on there, and more uncut versions too. Surprisingly, I wasn't able to point this fact out to them, hypocrites

I tried to sell I Spit on Your Grave – I think it was that one anyway – but eBay removed the listing and gave me a warning for selling a DVD of a film which contains a rape scene.

I thought that was utterly ridiculous as there were numerous DVDs, such as Irreversible and American History X (and, like you say, I Spit on Your Grave) which contained a rape scene.

They removed my copy of FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE because apparently someone complained about it.

Silly *****, they've no problem with the million copies of films like Cannibal Holocaust/Ferox, which contain genuine animal cruelty, floating around ebay but don't like the fact there is a film with fake violence.

Handyman Joe 30th March 2012 05:33 PM

Trying to police the internet like this is ridiculous, do these fools think we only shop at one location? It's the illegal downloaders that film companies should be targeting, not folk buying a product which happens to originate from another country. In an age where less and less people are bothering with physical media it seems incredible that barriers are still being put in front of genuine fans. The laws will eventually change, but by then there will be nobody around to care.

I had Snuff and Faces of Death knocked back umpteen times despite everyone knowing they are obsolete, faked nonsense. Meanwhile the likes of Nekromantik and the Toetag stuff flies through. It's like Grahame Bright never went away!

Rik 30th March 2012 05:45 PM

And to make matters worse there's a guy selling the exact same DVD with only a couple of days left of a seven day auction, I wonder why his listing hasn't been removed. There's even a copy of the Elite Uncut DVD on there! I'm not in no rush to get rid of it as I know I'll only get a couple of quid for it, it's the principal of it all that's pissing me off. At the end of the day this film is readily available in the high street and if you are searching for it then you know what it's about!

Exactly. The only thing argent are achieving is alienating their own customer base. In the internet age, the item that sells best is the one that is of the highest quality.

Bet the local Chinese takeaway is doing big business while the Italian restaurant is on the verge of closing down.

The Chinese takeaway is across my door and the Italian restaurant is a 3 min walk... :lol:

I've been neglecting these 80's/90's HK films for years after being a fan in the late 80's/early 90's so I needed to update my collection. ;)

spent a lazy afternoon/evening with the devils (everything on the disc, 1st time i've done that for a while)

Then I dragged out one of my unwatched code reds and had a double bill of Love me deadly and curious case of the campus corpse. While neither are bona fide classics they make a fun double bill.

Stephen@Cult Labs 31st March 2012 06:22 AM

Pre-ordered a few of the Fox steelbooks being released in June. Can't bring myself to buy another copy of Predator:Ultimate Shitty Edition though, even if it is in a steelbook. :lol:

I got a second hand copy of Cine Asia Extreme's BD release of The Machine Girl.

The picture looks exactly the same as the DVD, but the sound is a bit better.

Meh. It was cheap, and my mate gets the DVD free!

Wow, hope mine have it for that price. Probably won't be able to pay a visit for a couple of days though.

Insidious is a decent little horror film, Dem. :nod:

There is a funny bit on the Family Guy episode 'Road to Rupert' in which Lois has a dig at that Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story DVD.

Lois: You know, Brian, I'm looking forward to getting rid of some of this crap. [picks up a DVD] Like this movie, "Stymie Gruffin: The Untold Story". It's not a movie at all, Brian! Just three episodes back-to-back. This thing is an insult.

Brian[nervously looks around]: Well, that-that might be overstating things a little. [as she continues talking, Brian waves to someone off-camera and points at Lois]

Lois: It's a middle-finger to the fans, is what it is. I tell you, FOX should be emb-- [2 men in suits cover her mouth and carry her away]

I'm not too keen on the cover for Tokyo Drifter, although I do like the one from Branded to Kill.

I haven't seen it in years, but remember it being okay. It stars the gorgeous Dedee Pfeiffer too, which is a bonus. ;)

I thought Insidious was one of the best horror films from 2010, although I've only watched it once; so I'm not sure how well it will hold up on a repeat viewing!

The review mentions its on BCI's After Dark Thrillers set, which i have owned for a few years now.

So much for me not knowing the film at all. :confused: :crazy:
