I had the impression the limited edition releases with the slipcovers would only be available directly from FCE, but couldn't remember exactly whether the standard editions would also be available directly from FCE or just at shopping websites.

As for the LE release of Deep in the Heart, my eyes were not deceiving me as I do remember seeing "Sold Out" on FCE's website. Thanks for posting that it is currently still available.

FCE's website clearly states the slip edition of Heavenly Bodies is site exclusive:

I'm half-tempted to order a copy from Diabolik after missing out initially, but pass... not going to play these games by some tadpole label.

That's what we were lead to believe, but I doubt Jesse would list them that way by mistake. I took a flyer. We'll see...

It says this on the pages for those two listings:

It's not uncommon for these "Site Exclusive" items to be available in very small quantities at select retailers. I don't know how it works, but I have seen it several times and don't mind it.

Thank you, bonehica!

Just noticed the Diabolik listings this morning and jumped on it, regretting missing the first time they were sold out. Either way, fantastic that more of these are available.

Literally just noticed that the Paradise slip was available on Diabolik. Wish I would have known.

Have legit been checking the FCE site everyday hoping they will throw some more on there, but of course they end up being thrown up on somewhere I wasn’t scanning everyday.

Thanks either way to the people on here for trying to give a heads up. I just unfortunately saw the notice too late : /

Presuming Somebody Killer Her Husband was licenced from the Melvin Simon estate, is there any chance of When You Comin' Back Red Ryder? I don't suppose this title is with Sony anymore, and we know it's had longstanding music clearance issues. I know Kino released some Melvin Simon titles in the past and they didn't have any luck, but perhaps things have changed?

So they're not doing a Blu of Somebody Killed Her Husband? Someone might want to take down this then:

Someone should’ve never done it in the first place, to be fair…

When searching the "Where to watch option" with Letterboxd, all services point to Shout Studios as the licensee. If is to ever be released for real, Shout would be the label releasing it.

Not necessarily. Shout have sub-licensed to other labels (Criterion, ClassicFix, Scorpion etc) in the past.

Racing with the moon is so good a very underrated Paramount title, and Lifeguard's quite good too I might need to pick these up at some point next year when they get released. I haven't picked up a single Fun City title before as a lot of their other titles minus that one Western film they put out is just a label that doesn't have titles I was interested in until now.

Lifeguard?? FCE is killing it. Now I have this preordered along with Paradise and the trailer comp. Great stuff.

Totally missed out on the Slipcover for Heavenly Bodies. I just assumed the boutique shops would get the limited copies. Now of course it’s sold out at FCE

I’ll have to check out eBay once it’s released.

Wish FCE would let boutique shops like Atomic / Orbit / Diabolik (yeah I know they got some copies but is now Sold Out) have the limited slips.

Ever since they left OCN it makes a bit harder to keep up with the FCE release, esp grabbing the slipcover versions.
