Don't get too excited, it's good, but it's minor Sayles.

Ordered Lifeguard. Set me back forty bucks because of the tax so a bit pricey but glad to support FCE. Had to enter all my details again, which was a tad annoying. I wonder why we can't create accounts

Bit of a cheek putting the pre-order up without a street date.

They have my money regardless.......

Crap I still need to pre-order Racing With The Moon I haven’t done that yet.

[bergman864]

Not having a street date for Baby It's You means I'm hesitant to pair it with Racing with the Moon and Lifeguard. I want those on release (the reason I haven't ordered them yet) and I want to save on shipping.

Decisions, decisions.

[Thomas Veil]

Looks like Lifeguard is in stock at Atomic, hate when that happens. You try and order directly to support the label but then they ship later. Maybe its a slipcover thing.

[PurpsMcNuggets]

Well, I have a new favorite FCE film..Heavenly Bodies.

What a fun movie with so much energy. The outfits, the hair, the dancing, the awesome soundtrack, and of course Cynthia Dale with a superb performance.

Baby It's You has a street date of April 15th, according to FCE's website.

Night of the Juggler is a pretty difficult film to get rescued currently also one of the main reasons it hasn’t gotten a Blu-Ray yet is the subject matter the whole psycho character kidnapping a child is pretty screwed up. That being said, we need this film to get a Blu-Ray as it really deserves it as hard as the film is to watch. Maybe Fun City might finally rescue Night of the Juggler I really hope they do I really really do.

My sentiments exactly, word for word. I was shocked how much I loved it.

I want to place an order on Diabolik that includes some other March/April releases so I really hope this gets added soon.

I'll echo everything said here, I thought it was fantastic and left me filled with joy. Definitely a new favorite.

I received my shipping notice from FCE this morning. Presumably "Racing with the Moon" and "Lifeguard".

[gimmeshelter]

I got my shipping notice for Lifeguard as well. Also, I posted this in the dedicated release thread (for Welcome to Fun City) but thought I'd copy and paste it here:

I finished watching it yesterday, and it's a mammoth beast! Lots of fun. The 8.5 includes the hour of radio spots, but still just a ridiculous amount of trailers, from the well-known to the obscure. There's a section on 60s trailers about 19 minutes long, then trailers from 1970-1975 that was 2 hrs 47 minutes if I remember correctly, the radio spots, and an Easter Egg of a few (non NYC-set) FCE trailers, and that's Disc 1. Interestingly there are radio spots for Death Wish, but unless I just forgot I don't think there's an actual trailer? Also there's a trailer for Morrissey's Trash, but it doesn't include the actors, so the rendering of Joe Dallesandro on the front isn't in the comp as far as I know. Disc 2 has 70s trailer from 1976-1979 around 90 minutes, then 2 hours 17 minutes of 1980s trailers, heavily weighted to the earlier part of the decade. The only notable omissions from the '80s are the lack of Spike Lee films, but I'm sure if they were able to be included they would have been. And one viewing note: when you get to Marathon Man, expect a marathon of trailers and TV spots! So many for that title, although other titles also have multiples. Also Disc 2 has another Easter Egg with more non-NYC trailers. This is a great great set and so happy that FCE put this together!

Just wanted to join those giving some love to Heavenly Bodies. Great flick and lots of fun. I had never heard of the film before seeing it mentioned here. One of the best blind buys I've ever made.

No, those trailers and such are the WELCOME TO FUN CITY compilation (thread here).
