The artwork for Bound is quite inspiring. :rolleyes:

I flipped that one for the original poster art, which I slightly prefer to the newly commissioned artwork:

Neither make you want to watch what is an excellent film.

The Wachowskis' best for sure. :nod:

Some Xmas pressies:

Surely that honour goes to the magnificent Speed Racer. ;)

I've never actually seen that! However, it's not a film that grabs me in a way where I'm aching to sit down and give it a go either... ;)

The words truly and awful when used together sum it up perfectly.

Going to order a bundle from the arrow sale toorrow it ends. Most will be blind buys so if i give you lovely people my options any chance of some advice?

Bound
Blind Woman's Curse
Django Prepare A Coffin
Pit Stop
Foxy Brown
Branded To Kill
Brute Force
L'Assassino
Knightriders
Spirits of the Dead
Who Dares Wins

Oh the Joys of employment. Sorry for a lengthy absence once again but between work and a girlfriend, life gets busy!!!

Anyway, gone absolutely nuts with the spending recently. As I've said in the Christmas thread, I decided against movies in favor for Wii U and Super Smash Bros (Which was worth every minute of the 8 year wait). However, having a job, I've been able to catch up on my movies using my own money for once.

This is before Christmas up to today.

Patrick and Fright Night were from the last 10 minutes of JB HiFi's post Christmas sale on New Years. 2 for $16. Went in for Body Double, Flesh For Frankenstein, and Blood for Dracula, but R18+ ratings prevented me from purchasing these, so went for the 2 above and a Faith No More CD set. Got Fright Night after telling myself $40 is too much for a $8 blu ray plus exclusive extras. Patrick because I thought it was only available here, but hey, it's cheaper than the US release and Umbrella are more likely to put out more Ozploitation than anyone.

Army of Darkness and Killer Klowns from a Zavvi flash sale, with 10% off. Killer Klowns was dirt cheap at 9 pounds, and Army of Darkness I got within 4 minutes of it going up, and about 30 before it sold out again, which was a Christmas miracle.

Vamp was from Mansithe on blu-ray because I'm silly and put off buying it on Amazon (more of this scenario later)

Stray Cat Rock was also from Zavvi after Arrow ruined my grand points plan by running out of stick. 20 pounds, and shipped perfectly thank god, but the changes in the case design from the initial photo suck. Removing the Meijo Keiji and Limited collection lines make the front and spine look bare, and the White Arrow logo on the spine was a very poor design move.

Remo, Delta Force and Nekro I ordered during a sale in September in Japan when Nekro went up, fearing a quick sell out. Finally they arrived, and the Nekro set is stunning.

Lastly, Six Gothic Tales ordered just on release at the cheapest price, and filled some gaps in my collection with Amazon's 4 for 10 dvd deal. A beautiful set.


Yet to arrive, but ordered:

The Last Horror Film, Graduation Day, and The Last Horror Film from 88 Film's half price sale

The OOP slipcase of Arrow's Caligula from Refused, a great opportunity at a perfect price (Just need Battle Royale now, wink wink nudge nudge anyone)

Red Scorpion and Spirits of the Dead slipcase blus from Stephen because I put things off too long and this disapeared from Arrow mid-sale (You guys are life savers for OOP titles I swear)

A damaged (one crushed corner), slipcoverless Limited Withnail set for 10 pounds then shipping from someone on blu-ray.com. Still finalizing this, but this is the only one i ever would have gotten it, an amazing bargain even if shipping will be 1.6x the product price.

From the Arrow sale, Qatsi set, the OOP Blood Feast 2, and 2 bundles comprised of Bound, Branded to Kill, Night of the Comet, Mark of the Devil, Salvatore Guilliano (the compulsory Arrow Academy sale blind buy), and Cheeky (lord help me I'm starting to buy the erotica). Still waiting for the points to come in so i can order the Shivers steelbook.

So with all of this, I think i have a problem :psychosanta::xmasbanana:
