I may reveal a couple other covers tonight, or some time tomorrow.

Woah, that's huge!

[concolt]

MiFuneFan you should post some more leak pics!

The watermark is… a choice.

In terms of font, or what? If so, I was looking through fonts on my computer and that one was less obtrusive than others that are completely filled in.

the one that you use on all the leaks you provide to this forum is a lot less intrusive - downright invisible.

[MifuneFan]

I'm definitely open to feedback on watermarks. It's not something I like to use at all. I'm sure a lot of people on here know that my leaks are usually lifted by some social media outlets without any credit, and some claiming credit themselves. Most of the time I don't care, but I do find if I watermark something that often forces some like Dawn of the Discs to actually cite me as the source.

I do try my best to make it transparent and allow everyone to still see the actual artwork regardless, but I also don't want to make it completely invisble as there are some like TheDicksFather who will literally go to the trouble of scrubbing the watermark from the image. So, I do want to make him work just a little harder there.

But yeah, like I said, I'm open to feedback on how best to approach it. Ultimately I probably won't even bother with watermarks in most cases.

Use which ever you want. I say make them even more obvious so that they are forced to give you credit.

Hey old pal! I didn’t look that closely — saw an "M" and thought it was a watermark from the recent changes at https://customers.mvdb2b.com/login/. (my comment was directed at that service)

Makes sense re: those who don’t cite sources. I come from an academic background and it’s been happening more there as well.

Keep up the great work!

[Chie Satonaka]

I see they are numbering them, cool.

[MifuneFan]

Thanks all. I'll experiment with some watermarks until I find a balance I'm happy with. In the meantime, how about a few more cover reveals ..I really like the one they chose for Battle Beyond the Stars.

I believe Cinema84 changed their name to Member-(some kind of combination of numbers), but I haven't seen them on this forum for a long time. Driver78 did come on right around the same time and had one of the profile/avatar pictures that Cinema84 used, but I don't think these two are the same person. Cinema84 had a much different 'aura' to them. As though I know what auras are... It's a nicer way to put whatever it is I am feeling.

Yep, no search results for Cinema84 as a member comes back. But this search shows that Cinema84 is now Member-222782. It's impossible to keep up when people keep changing their names.

Does SF own the rights to ‘Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)’ on Blu? This is another one that should get straight to 4K UHD.

I don't think it's a name change per se; the user name shifts to a generic member # for existing posts when someone's account is deleted.

[MifuneFan]

Two Amazon Exclusive Steelbooks coming in July as well

RoboCop 2







The Last Voyage of the Demeter

A different aura in what way? Positive or negative? I'm the same member, by the way. I deleted my account due to some issues I was having with another member but I'd rather not bring that up. The old account doesn't go away, just becomes a generic numeric placeholder if you will. I had no control over that. The member whose post you quoted above just doesn't like me (the feeling is very mutual lol). Que sera, sera

[concolt]

Wow those are nice looking steelbooks! Sucks they are Amazon exclusive though.

[jess1581]

Ahem... Robocop 3, maybe? Hopefully?

Yeah, they're badass. But they're Amazon exclusive so no go. Don't want a banged up SB.
