I hope Fun City Editions also considers licensing Isabel (1968) from Paramount. It's another important Canadian film; directed by Paul Almond and stars Genevieve Bujold.

[Show spoiler]

I would love this to come out on Blu-ray fantastic movie and Genevieve Bujold looks so beautiful in it.

That would be the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), yes. They have done great work restoring and digitizing short-form and long-form Canadian films that would have been lost to time.

I don't require Canadian International Pictures to be the sole vendor of our national cinema, so I'm quite excited for FC's upcoming Duddy Kravitz release!

Duddy Kravitz is huge news. I was fortunate to see a great exhibit on Mordecai Richler’s life at McGill University a few years ago

Was Ted Kotcheff uninterested in participating in the special features? He has called it the best film he ever made. I hope he’s not in ill health

Kotcheff IS 92 years old.

Sure. And just published his great autobiography a few years ago. I saw him at the American Cinematheque a few times

This new trailer of The Coca Cola Kid by Rock CHUDson on YouTube persuaded me to pick it up at the next Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday sale.

I received my copy today - I missed the original post and stumbled on it whilst looking at Amazon.

Blind-buy for me as I've seen neither film. Started with Neige (1981) tonight and it was excellent.

Highly recommended for those who like gritty French films of the 70s/80s, that centres around a group of marginalised characters interacting with each other. The restoration is outstanding. Will watch The B*tch in the next couple of days.

T R Baskin is now in stock and shipping from FCE, for anyone interested. This one looks really interesting to me. A young Candice Bergen trying to make her way on her own. I'll be grabbing a copy:

Don't like making promises about when I'm going to get a copy of a title/copies of titles that a boutique label has released (in case I end up taking longer to get the title/titles), but I hope to still get a copy of Primetime Panic: Volume Two, Fatale Femmes and T.R. Baskin before the end of this year (especially the first two).

[DrEricVornoff]

I just got my copy of T.R. Baskin from OrbitDVD.

I can't wait to check it out.


However... MVD has now switched from the nice clear VIVA ELITE cases to those cheapo clear snap cases (like the blue ones that Shout Factory uses and clear ones AGFA used to use).

Also... the slip cover is now underneath the shrink... luckily mine wasn't crunched at all by the shrink... but I'm sure this new practice will cause woes at some point.


I said a while back that this move to MVD was not going to be without consequence... and now I'm seeing it...

Luckily I had a few spare clear VIVAs in my collection... I just swapped it over.

Yes, this would be terrific. It's highly atmospheric and sinister in a way not dissimilar to Altman's Images or Larraz's Symptoms, except wintry rather than autumnal.

Aka Date With A Lonely Girl.

Favorite line:
"What do you think, TR?"
"I think you're a schmuck."

Apparently when asked what "TR" stood for, Candice Bergen said Thelma Ritter.

So glad it's getting re-released. I missed out on grabbing it cheap. The new price is rough though $24-$34 for a title that struggled to sell through VS...
