Not the Warner titles since they don't have a deal. There's a possibility Arrow could licnese them, but stuff like Night of the Lepus, and Of Unknow Origin are probably unlikely to get a new release. I could see them possibly picking up the Poison Ivy Collection, or at least the first film.

Fair point but I already own Of Unknown Origin and Night of the Lepus.

Wouldn't surprise me if these get released by Warner Archive next year.

Do I take that chance and wait? I'd like to own Of Unknown Origin and Night of the Lepus, but lately I've spent too much money (last month, I panic bought a new OLED TV and UHD player and picked up a bunch of stuff in various sales...)

Can anyone tell me these collectors editions from shout with crystal ball etc ie labyrinth and dark crystal I watched unboxing and the actual packaging they are in look flimsy and possibly easily damaged, but on one vid I seen it was in a foam box then cardboard box so well protected in transit.
I just need to know has anyone got this from Amazon and are they sent the same way? As over the years I have too much damaged stuff.
Do Amazon actually send with this protection foam box and cardboard box or even better include it inside there own boxes.
I’m thinking of buying both editions but not if they have very little protection and come damaged thanks

In my experience, Amazon is never consistent in how they ship. It is all up to whoever is doing the packing for your order. If just ordering one or two blu rays by themselves, way more likely they will arrive in one of their thin bubble mailers. A box for something that small is very rare.

The other factor is travel time. We are lucky to have a major fulfillment center just 20 miles outside of the city. Less time during transit, less time for damage to happen.

If you have to use Amazon- try using the gift options, or order along with something large enough to where they can't use a bubble mailer... but the safer and consistent way to go is ordering from places like Diabolik that ship all their orders securely.

But surely the items im questioning about are already we’ll protected as said I seen unboxing of these items in foam box and cardboard box and assuming amazon would just place these in there own box if I’m getting both editions then more reason to be boxed together but what I am asking is is amazon receiving these from them like this.

Could someone who actually owns the Bound to Vengeance Blu ray please check the actual runtime of the movie on the disc?

According to IMDB it should be 93 minutes, the Shout site says 89 minutes and other foreign "uncut" discs only mention 79 minutes. Thanks!

I just started using the free-be Shout!TV thing I got from buying too much stuff during their October sale. Thing is, almost every time I push play using my LG smart TV it tells me that there's not enough memory. The first day I watched like 3-5 movies without a problem. Then, the next time I tried to watch something it buffered and then stopped telling me there's not enough memory. Googled a few things to do. Cleared the data on my browser on the TV, the cookies, too. I thought it worked because I was finally able to watch a movie. Then I tried to watch another movie and...not enough memory. Cleared the memory again and...didn't work. Every time I had to resubmit my information, which just irritated me, so I went to Amazon prime and found a week free trial from them.

Anyone else have this problem? I had some other problems with my TV. I couldn't get gmail to come up on the browser, so I decided to reset the TV. Now, gmail is working. Watched one movie on Shout!TV...and no more memory for it. I tried to contact Shout! but I'm sure there never going to get in touch.

Whenever I've had issues, a soft reset of the hardware usually clears it up. If that doesn't work, deleting and reinstalling the app works 100% of the time for me. (Had to do that more with Arrow than Shout, though.)

Actual disc is 1:19:36 so 79/80ish. Seems that Shout mislabeled their disc on the cover.

So the cover, Shout's shop and the imdb are wrong. Thanks for clarifying

There's more than one running time on IMDB so they're just showing the longer listing. Funny enough, Amazon owns both IMDB and Prime Video and Prime Video lists the running time as 1h19m.

The original press release seemed to show an ~80m running time though IFC Films is listing 90m.

I had been dragging my feet on ordering Funeral Home.

I found a sealed one on eBay for $14 just now and am taking a leap of faith.

and at 14 bucks.... you're not taking much of a risk. Knowing what I know about you Owl... I predict you give it at least a SOLID 3 stars..........

I've seen Funeral Home before, by way of one of those godawful 50-movie DVD packs with VHS transfers. I like it, because it hits the sweet spot of my 1980s drive-in horror.

Taking a leap of faith on such a too-good-to-be-true eBay order, though. lol

Problem is, I am using the web browser for Shout!TV because I couldn't find an app for my TV. It could be too old to have the app. Not sure. If a soft reset means to unplug the tv for a few minutes, I always unplug it when not in use. So, I do a soft reset every day.

When did SF stop accepting after pay? I used it it back in the summer and now at check out I don’t see the option.

For my Sonys, I have to hold the power button down on the remote until it prompts a reset ask.
