Recent arrivals, just shy of a month's worth of pick ups. I've finally got enough Pure Points for a £50 voucher from HMV too, so I'm looking forward to spending that next week.
Lots of nice box sets. Jia Zhangke, Cat 'O Nine Tails, Seijun Suzuki, Indicator's second Hammer box set, and The Apartment (I almost didn't get this, I thought I'd just pick up the regular edition further down the line, but it selling out and going for silly money made me second guess missing out, especially as my local HMV had a few copies sitting in store for several weeks). Another lot of Hammer releases (I regret not getting the original few releases, and I'm a little apprehensive now, as they look UGLY without those slips due to the massive banners; and I have no way of knowing if they'll still come slipped). Enjoyed It and Happy Death Day far more than I expected to, missed Hounds Of Love and A Ghost Story at the cinema, but heard so many good things. A couple of awesome MoC releases, particularly looking forward to Michael, Dreyer's stuff is always interesting.
The Erotic Rites Of Frankenstein, will hopefully get some new friends to join in in the coming weeks.
Not related but seemingly that Black House label from Screenbound has already dropped the lovely thin black cases for their releases. I saw a couple in HMV, but didn't bother because I wasn't sure which were cut or not. I checked out the few upcoming ones I'm interested in, and it appears to be safe to pick up Fascination, Cold Eyes Of Fear and The Night Of The Hunted. It'd be nice if the lovely slim black cases returned so the collection doesn't look ridiculous on my shelf. Not that I actually have shelf space at the moment.
