By responding to him, you guys are only feeding into his odd, lonely, little games and validating his pointless, single-minded existence and hopelessly muddled viewpoints.

The sooner the rest of you add him to your Ignore List, the sooner he will simply fade away, back to the obscurity from whence he emerged.

Hey, uh, how would I go about doing that?

You know, if I wanted to.

Go to your 'User CP' under your profile, then click on 'Edit Ignore List'. When he first began flailing about the various Arrow threads a few years back, derailing all other conversation (and refusing to respond to any of the attempts to demonstrably prove that he was simply misinformed, generalizing, and/or flat-out wrong about almost every single thing he said) in much the same manner that he apparently trolls this thread, that's when many of us deleted him.

He contributes nothing of even minor value otherwise, so you won't be missing anything.

I'm not necessarily proud of it, but I did it.

While I understand things have been tense lately, I figured now would be the best time to spread some news that plenty of people have been waiting for:

I've dealt with Ruined before. As his name states, he himself is ruined. I'm not surprised to see him defend this sh**ty label and Raro.

[Ruined]

Oh yes, I am the one trolling the thread while others go on and on for pages and pages slandering the label and its owner. Sounds legit. [emoji23]

Also re: above few posts, some nice ad hominem attacks - I'll take that as a compliment... Typically what happens in debates when one is unable to make an effective retort to an argument and is reduced to petty personal attacks.

Sweet...can’t wait. It’s been a long time since I have seen it.

I guess MVD will distribute this?

But remember, the picture quality won't be that good because Scorpion rejected it first.

There is an HD version on Amazon prime video, I wonder if it is the same master? Anyone able to check it out?

Then there is this DVD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0041JSSRI

The scorpion release for the sequel was top. Not sure about this one PQ wise.

Well, in terms of "bad" picture quality, if its a grindhouse print I don't mind that. i.e. badly damaged but still looks like film.

What I don't like is when it looks like video such as Cult Epics' recent "Death Laid an Egg" release, which had tons of EE and DNR.

If someone has a Amazon Prime membership I bet its the same transfer thats on Prime Video HD for free right now. So could get a sneak peak of the PQ potentially and whats wrong with it: http://a.co/fY8FbfZ

Note one of the reviews for the 2015 "Reel Vault" DVD on Amazon is not promising:
"The movie quality and sound horrible; I regret buying it! Was it recorded with a vhs camcorder from a TV screen and then re-recorded unto a dvd? This should not even be for sale its a Rip-off!"

"Video quality is less than DVD.. its basically a straight copy from its original 320 resolution CRT TV days (before DVD -- e.g. VHS tape and poor quality even by VHS standards)."

If the BD ends up that bad, then its a matter if you want to save some cash and get the DVD or spend a little more to have it on BD for the protective coating.


Note, Freeway 2 is also available on Amazon Video HD for preview: http://a.co/2QXtpgD

The greatest Hollywood martial-arts movie ever made!

For those that have seen the film, I'm assuming this is not an entirely accurate assertion?

Kill Or Be Killed (Trailer For TV, 1980) - YouTube

[Marsupial Werewolf]

Definitely not. But it’s highly, highly entertaining.

I can’t decide if I want to grab the House that Vanished double feature or not even with the free movie added in. I wonder if there is any chance of another label releasing the version with the extra footage.

There's always a chance. But that doesn't mean it's going to happen. If you don't buy it the worst that happens is paying a high price on eBay.

I really hope that's not the final artwork

That's the R rated cut of Freeway 2. Not giving me a lot of hope for an uncut blu.

What's wrong with it? Appears based on one of the theatrical posters for the film.

Unless DF specifically said otherwise I'd be surprised if the Blu wasn't using the same master/cut as Amazon Video HD. So probably R rated cut.
