Code Red Blu-ray Discussion Thread (RIP Bill "Bananaman" Olsen)

[babybreese]

It's an extended work trip that stretched itself longer than originally planned.

It's 1/24th of a second, so it totally could quick pan to the sign.

Definitely different framing, although it's odd to see different framing on a 1.85 ratio, usually it's on 2.35 flicks filmed with Super-35 where this happens. Pretty sure there's a feature on Seven showing this, and how a few shots were re-framed for the BD.

Thanks to FiendCameron and the heads-up, I finally scored a copy. I didn't think it would ever happen. I hope everyone that wants a copy eventually manages to snag one. Those screenshots helped sell the deal too - it looks like a nice upgrade over the DVD.

Damn...I knew they were out there!!!!!!

Placed my order on the 12th for just before dawn and nightmare. Both came today. Both are blind buys. Excited to watch. Really want savage streets. But it's always sold out!

It's hilarious that he just puts that out there and asking whether he should ship them last haha.

I think I ordered a copy of Nightmare on the 4th too and haven't received mine yet either but I wouldn't worry about it...it will come, I would assume within the next couple of days but if another week goes by I think you could shoot them an e-mail.

So he knows and he still sells multiple copies to buyers? I guess it's cool with him that someone charges 200 bucks for a blu-ray. What an a-hole. He mentions that the guy overpaid on shipping because he ordered 8 times?? Who cares if he's selling these discs for 100-200 bucks a pop 6 months from now on ebay or amazon. Stop selling to scalpers!! It's not like he'll be left with tons of stock if he only sells them to fans.

That doesn't really fit my conception of "vacation" but what do I know? I'm a bear! I suck the heads off of fish! ...Nevermind

He's working on the transfers of the Corman titles he's releasing later in the year. He's been updating his FB page with the titles.

[Liquid_Swords]

He should just stick to one per person.

I enjoy his total transparency and utter irreverence, but I seem to be in a distinct minority. My default internal monologue toward complaints that Bill is a "jerk" is.typically, "Try growing a ****ing sense of humor", but this is a highly subjective realm.

...Also, he should TOTALLY ship those last. hehe~

Ah gotcha. So I guess I was in the general vicinity of accurate...CR stuff.

Keep on mind that Nightmare isn't a limited title. He said if he sells out he can repress it, and he probably will.

very true, Bill did state if he sells all his pressed discs for Nightmare he will press more.

got mine in the mail today. Now to finally watch this crazy thing again. Booze will most certainly be consumed during it. Man that cover is so cheesy it's almost cool


almost.

Most people receive their orders in 10-15 days after ordering, so you'll be getting it soon.

Watching my copy now. GREAT transfer of such an obscure little title. Worth the purchase for patient fans for sure. The fact that this is on bluray and looks this good is quite remarkable. It's still just as sick and sleazy as I remember it. Pour a stiff drink and enjoy fellow slasher fans

Savage Streets is back in stock…just placed my order finally. Good thing I was up at 1:30 in the morning…might of missed out again.
