Been a while. :)
Need help finding a DVD. All I remember is this scene where a woman has part of her head removed so that the doctor might put in another brain. I think it's his wife's brain, but I can't remember the motivation. The cover has an illustrated picture of the woman's face from...
Max - I hope everything is alright.
Well, I've joined NetFlix. I thought, what the hell. They don't have Audition, but I have signed up for Cat in the Brain. I need to go through the archives here to see if I can find any other titles; I need to find two more. So I should become a more...
Mark - Guinea Pigs looks far too hardcore for me. (Devils Experiment/Android of Notre Dame Double Feature). You mentioned that you heard about these. Was wondering what you heard.
Max - Did you decide on any DVDs?
Julie - I didn't know that there was a new Meet the Feebles.
I was too pooped, so I couldn't get through Nosferatu last night. Sadly, I will need to return it today. I really want to check out some more horror DVDs soon.
Got my receiver back :emoji_thumbsup: , and caught Th13rteen Ghosts and Jeepers Creepers over the weekend.
Th13rteen Ghosts wasn't too bad. I agree with Bob_L's criticism; that kind of flash almost always seems kind of lazy in many senses. But that scene where the lawyer split was pretty...
I have all of the Ballantine Lovecraft -- Does anyone know who did those covers? I still think that they are among the very best, alongside Boris Vallejo's covers for Zelazny's Amber.
I caught Session 9 over the weekend, and recommend it for rental. one cool gore part one character is lobotomized
. Has a cool X-Files creepiness to it.
PS - I'm still looking at "non-regional" dvd players. Bob L did you get the Sampo?
Mark - Thanks a bunch for the offer! I was going to take you up on it, but I see that the 1500 is on sale at Circuit City for ~$70. I can pick it up and flash it myself, which will be a fun and easy project! :) If I find the right player, then I will soon be enjoying foreign titles...
Chris - Audition or Odishon seems to get high marks. BTW - What player do you use? I am extremely jealous. I haven't much money right now and can't buy one of those region-free players. That, plus my receiver is in the shop. :frowning:
Let us know what you get!
I should have clarified. I wanted to know what features are forthcoming on the disk. (DD DTS Whatever)
Where did you find that info? Previous posts have already mentioned some of the above.
Well, I have been unable to turn up anything on Audition based on DVDEmpire's posted info:
Audition a/k/a Odishon
Dir. Takashi Miike
Pub. Ventura
UPC 634991122221
This is kind of frustrating, as I am very eager to see it. (Necromantik may be too heavy for me.)
I'm also bummed because I...
Max -
I am sorry to hear of your problems with USPS. I am very fortunate to have a mail person who is attentive to her work and her customers. The other, off-day carrier is likely a contract person, and -- now that I have read your problems -- I am convinced that he has stolen my non-tracked...
K, I REALLY want Audition and Ring. Has anyone had a bad experience with Diabolik DVD? I am still going through a small dispute with an online retailer -- almost 2.5 months now. It's not a lot of money, but it pisses me off just the same.
PS - Julie and Max, has The Book of The Dead odor...
Julie K -
If you are a collector -- and have very deep pockets -- definitely try and get in touch with L.W. Currey.

Do a serach for Lovecraft, and you will find some VERY juicy titles. I've dealt with him before. He is a scrupulous dealer. Every book -- including...
Julie K -
Wow, you have given me extra incentive to go back and "re-discover" Lovecraft. Dagon takes on new significance; his fear of miscegenation appears to have been a deep mine. I wasn't aware that any of his letters were in-print, though I do know of Arkham. Time to fork over 5K to LW...
Hey Guys - Been awhile. :)
I'm glad to see some of Lovecraft's stuff being translated to film. I am only a marginal fan of his work, having never cottoned to his pseudo-Victorian syntax. (He himself expressed his frustration at being born in the Modern era, which has always struck me as both...
Caught Ginger Snaps last night, and enjoyed it very much. It is a bloody film, but it is no gorier than what might be considered "the usual fare."
Poor Little Rich Girls Ginger and Brigitte are death-obsessed sisters who follow a self-defined code of self-disenfranchisement. The suburban town...
Mark - Island of Death sounds interesting. The IMDB reviews call it slow-moving -- and it difficult to find for rent. I don't know how it gory it is. Have you purchased from diabolikdvd.com before?
PS - I forgot to mention that Soulkeeper was technically okay. I was disappointed by the DD...
Saw Soulkeeper Friday night. This is a horror-comedy that obscures its own merits by making too many allusions to other people's works. There are some great lines ("Nuh-uh, nothing's going up my ass tonight. I'm just not in the mood."), but for the most part, it is a clean miss. It's heart...
