I saw Maniac the other night. It's great, Reaps.

Just ordered Battle Royal single disc Blu Ray from Ebay for £4 and a clear Blu Ray case for it so it matches my other Arrow Blu's ( the ones without slips that is ):)

I was being a little facetious with my posts as I remember you saying about your collection being stolen and having to buy everything again, noting I had the same lack of vices as you.

You're making great progress!

A couple of cheap but fun Ed Wood dvd's arrived... :)

Bride of the Monster (1955) (Legend Films)
Night of the Ghouls - The Wade Williams Collection (1959) (Image)

In the post today...

Rituals - hardbox. Never seen this one before, but looks right up my street.

Rubbers Lover - Japanese Cyberpunk. One of many great films I sold a long time ago, so I'm very happy to replace it.

Ebola Syndrome - Cat III I never owned before and caught at a nice price.

Loved Maniac, watched it four times last week. A worthwhile remake IMHO.

Eliminators is awesome! Only own it on VHS and would like to pick up Arena so this looks good!

Got a couple of the Criterion Eclipse sets from the Barnes & Noble sale. I got:

Two Masterpieces by Larisa Shepitko: Wings and Ascent

Nikkatsu Noir

Looking forward to rewatching Ascent. Saw it years back at Uni, one of the most draining film viewing experiences I've had :shocked: . . .

At last-a decent remake!

It really is - I think it manages to improve on the Lustig film in some ways too.

Hell no! I liked it but it lacks the nastiness of the original, NYC and Joe Spinell...it's a very different film.

It is and don't get me wrong, the original will always be great for the reasons you mention,I just think the remake is a better written film - the relationship between Frank and the photographer is far more convincing, for instance.

Everything I've been waiting on all turned up at once yesterday! Right before I left to go see World War Z (fantastic set pieces, extremely anti-climatic ending :( )

Before WWZ, I was browsing in a JB HiFi with a $40 voucher when I spotted this beauty of a set I've been after for a while, in a SciFi sale for only $35. Watched The Final Cut last night, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

I picked up 8mm (which is underrated in my opinion) and The Good, The Bad And The Weird from a charity shop and I'm A Cyborg and Tetsuo fom CEX, I haven't seen the latter but the sleeve compares it to Lynch (it looks Eraserhead-ish) and Cronenberg, that made it impossible to refuse.

Haven't seen Tetsuo? Oooh. How big is your TV??

Claudia Christian!!! Uuuuuuuhhhh. I have to go.....;)

Saturday Night Fever (30th Anniverseray Edition) on blu. is it any good on blu or shit?

46-inch in the living room, 42-inch in the spare/games room. I can't see my missus letting me watch it in the living room, Eraserhead 'upset' her.

Arrow have a sale going on, so I ordered Black Sunday and Motel Hell.

The former will be the first Mario Bava film I've seen, so if I like it enough I'll definitely pick up Baron Blood and Black Sabbath soon after.

I hope this sale lasts a couple of weeks, I'm skint at the minute, but its my birthday next week

The sale lasts until the end of the month, so you have another few weeks to save up before going shopping with your birthday money.

It ends 31st july

Good stuff :woohoo:

I saw this, you share a birthday with a bunch of other forum members. Been using this forum for years, but only just noticed the Calendar feature :loco: . . .

And Sir Richard Branson, Nelson Mandela, Vin Diesal, Nick Faldo, James Brolin, my mates brother, an old Halifax Town/Celtic goalkeeper.....

I share a birthday with (the ghost of) Edward D. Wood Jr. :nod: . . .

Even better! Much more time for saving and spending.

from arrow sale

black Sabbath
black Sunday
knightriders
foxy brown steelbook

really should of bought half of this with the sale on till the end of the month

But technically it's only cost me £20 as I've gotten £20 which I've been owned for sometime today.

I just realised 'the end of the month' and 'July 31st' are the same thing. D'oh!

Just picked this up instore. I'd ordered it from CEX online but they sent me the one disc version from one of those DVD+magazine collection things. I ordered another load of Old Who from CEX which arrived as advertised as well as some stuff in the Arrow sale which I'll post later.
