Hopefully it'll help me avoid ending up making a bunch of misguided purchases that'll only serve to clutter up the shelves.

Thank you for starting the thread.

If you start with Tobalina your vintage porn collection may end quickly.
His "films" are divisive. I'm not saying they're bad- there's a contingent of people who love them- but I would personally rather watch paint dry.

Nice, now all the questions about Peekarama catalog numbers, adult licenses, requested films can get repeated again when it’s already in a comprehensive adult thread lol. Talk about taking the long road

[fatboyslim142]

Of ALL the VS adult DVDs & BDS that are going OOP once they sell out, which ones do you think they will re-press or upgrade?

My choices would be the following:

Dixie Ray Hollywood Star - UHD upgrade.
Corruption
Her Name Was Lisa
Pretty Peaches Trilogy.
Baby Face
Baby Face II
Taboo - UHD upgrade.
Taboo II
Taboo III
Taboo IV
The Pink Ladies
Slave of Pleasure - As a BD upgrade ideally complete with Dirty Susan & The Fire in Francesca as the Dan McCord trilogy.

If you can't see the magic in a bizarro treasure hunt with Tarzan and gorilla sex that constantly cuts to a random orgy and feels like it was being made up as they went along then you can't be helped, sad to say

Jungle Blue is the greatest film ever.

That's the problem. When you describe it, it sounds amazing. But Carlos takes all those elements and makes it boring! How?

Maybe it's genetic. Some of us are destined to love Tobalina, and others just can't see it. We should test my theory and all show our families Jungle Blue, see what they think

Considering Anthony Spinelli prefers the R-rated version it would be great if it was included on the UHD, assuming Dixie Ray gets upgraded, & NOT just the BD like the alternate version of Dracula Sucks! was. They'd also need to do some new extras for the film to make it worth while besides just upgrading the R-rated version to HD.

The early Taboo features might be a tough ask as the elements weren't in the best of shape.

One thing that would be neat would be better extras, I miss the early releases as they often had a bonus movie.

Yes, they have been very stingy with extras on their adult titles. When I first started buying VS, they had commentaries by Suze and her husband on their films, interviews with Bob Chinn. There was some great info. And as you say, bonus movies on some titles. One of my favorite adult films, Sex In The Comics, included two 90 minute collections of animation. I know they weren't getting the sales they wanted and eventually just released barebones discs, but I'd even be happy with trailers at this point. Or I am sure they must have a lot of loops in their holdings, so throw on a loop or two with actors that are in the main feature.
At any rate, I am looking forward to seeing what they have coming on Tuesday.

RIP Shaun Costello, one of the greatest adult filmmakers

I hope more of his films are restored soon, he was one of a kind.

[dana martin]

My biggest hope of this venture is that we final get Distribpix to finally release some more of their own titles, 2 Metzger films is all they have released after much promised other releases have not happened ( Chuck Vincent's Roommates) - would be nice to see the rest finally get the proper treatment and release

The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann
Naked Came the Stranger
Maraschino Cherry

Also hoping that Launch includes the next
Command Release as well

I'm pretty sure those Metzger films will be released over the next year or so.

Lisa Petrucci said she had audio of Doris Wishman on set of her porn films sometimes giving orders out etc & she offered them to Vinegar Syndrome as an extra for their release of her hardcore films but they turned her down or something along those lines.

I'm surprised their DVD of Naked Came the Stranger wasn't a 2 disc set, with the alternate softcore version, like their other two DVD only Metzger releases.

I'm hoping for their ultimate release of ALL 3 versions of Jonas Middleton's 1976 classic Through the Looking Glass.

more UHD and more DVD upgrades to BD/UHD will be good
hoping couple I wanted on DVD and never got before being OOP get upgraded
though I suppose the OOP one's, are the least likely if they don't have rights anymore

also hoping for more boxsets now, both softcore & hardcore

what would be great is if they did a 10 film set to kind of match the mainstream VS release this year & to celebrate 10 Years
only with hardcore titles like the 5 films 5 years hardcore releases
