Thanks for the info. You always add a lot to the thread.

I missed this one and totally would've gotten it for Larry Cohen, so nice score!

I'll also watch two unrelated movies back to back because they have the same name. I did that with Road House (1989, 2024, and 1948).

Just missed out on these six, as they were all in my cart before the first major crash, and couldn't get into checkout

AFTER MIDNIGHT
BODY OF EVIDENCE
DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
GATE II
THE AMBULANCE
THE RESURRECTED

[MathTeacher]

After months of not purchasing, I let an accumulation of movies build up from various drops to now and here's my purchase for $60.

Same here. I seem to be unable physically/mentally to put together the quick orders so many others can because I have to double-check everything against my lists and make sure which release it is. By the time I got myself to about 8 movies I wanted (and some blind buys), several of the ones I wanted the most went OOS. I was going to order all of the above, except for The Resurrected.

Now that I'm down to about 4 I want, mostly blind buys, my incentive to order tonight is gone because I don't care that much about the rest. I already spent about 2 hours just getting through the $4.95-$5.95 BDs. I haven't even looked at the price cuts yet. I might place an order the next week or two if anything I want is left, but I can say the reason I don't order from HB much is not that there isn't stuff I want to buy, but I'm not fast enough to research and buy the good stuff before it's OOS.

This was a good drop with some nice $4.95 Shout/Scream Factory BDs. I already had a bunch (I paid $12 for Mr. Mom since it's a favorite) and the main ones I wanted are gone. That's life in the (fast) Hamilton Book lane.

Unpleasant and gross are the correct words for Crimes of the Future, yet it had an intriguing concept which was not developed enough. I would've preferred more of that evolution story and less watching people grow organs and do surgeries as art. Against my better judgment I bought the BD for $5, and I'm not spending any more to buy the 4K.

[Wintermute]

My order:


Mr. Mom -- already own it, but grabbed one for a buddy.

Johnny Come Lately and French Postcards -- not sure what I'll think of them, but it's hard to pass up out-of-print Olive titles for so cheap.

Leave No Trace -- looks like this U.S. release is slightly cropped compared to the international Sony version, but not bad enough to break the deal for me...

...unlike this drop's Money For Nothing, released by Mill Creek, which I was excited to see in this drop...but eliminated once I learned that it's in a cropped/incorrect aspect ratio.

Would've grabbed The Electric Mist, but unfortunately this U.S. version has had scenes cut compared to international releases, I believe.

Crimes of the Future 4K at $5.95 was an amazing deal, but I already have the Second Sight import, which has a better encode (Fidelity in Motion).

[HalfLife]

Nice drops, picked these up:

Been waiting for a good deal on Slingshot and Cuckoo, HB beats Amazon! And I'm a sucker for Kristen Stewart (already have Crimes of the Future)

Officer Downe is a steal at $2.99, dead cop resurrected to fight crime.

I got the BD from the Walmart bin many years ago as a blind buy, and love it!

[GoldenWheels]

Guys some of these went up with WAY short counts and they are not actually sold out. I'm going to try and fix this today....sigh.

That's good to hear. I was hoping to snag Cyborg but made a purchase without it. Might try to sneak in an order in a week or so if it's still around.

A bunch of Shout stuff will reappear at some point. I am working on it, what a morning...

EDIT right now it looks like these had bad counts (I have WAY more in most cases):

Cyborg
Teen Wolf Too
Gate II
Prancer
Phantom of the Opera
Town that Dreaded Sundown
After Midnight
Ambulance
Body of Evidence
Home for the Holidays
and
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

...should all pop up to be orderable again at some point. I will keep you updated. I am off to stomp my feet and breathe some fire....

But you need to stop smiling while breathing fire.

Again thanks for all you do for us.

[tau31]

Thank you for everything you do

[trainreck]

Had a handful sell out last night before I could check out but still ended up with a pretty good order. I had Death Wish 4k in my cart but let's be honest, I'm not going to watch it:



I'll keep my eye out on those restocks above..

[MifuneFan]

I completely forgot about the drop last night .so I missed a lot of stuff from Shout I would have picked up, but hopefully I can get some with the restocks mentioned above. I made a small order, and got a couple Scream titles, as well as some OOP Arrow ones I've been meaning to get, and a also a DVD set from ClassicFlix that's also OOP. All are blind-buys.

Is it the same vein as the Maniac Cop movies? I love those.

Guys I am just so sorry that every other month seems to be a roller coaster. I can't modernize this place fast enough.We have so many archaic "rules" built in about the way data is handled....it takes 4 of us sometimes to suss everything out when an error occurs.

I am hoping to have those titles back up in a few hours. So sorry!

(and I can't be too rough on the help....I work with my dad!!! )

[jokercard]

When they come back up, would it be possible to combine orders?

[Jaymole]

I placed a small order and will place another if some of those Shout titles come back in stock
