AGFA/Something Weird Video Discussion Thread - Page 37 - Blu-ray Forum

There's something wrong with the SHE FREAK menu. When you click on 'Extras from the Midway' to get to the submenu everything starts to drag. If you hit down the cursor won't move for about 3 seconds. Everything is delayed. Luckily everything works, but before I realized it was delayed I'd enter the wrong feature as I'd hit entire before the cursor moved. Minor gripe but curious if others have experienced this. I'm using a Samsung. I've never had this issue with a VS or AFGA disc before

No menu issues for me, the disc worked perfect.

brainofj72 · 08-28-2021, 02:51 PM

No issues for me I either. Had no problem navigating the features.

pixote · 08-28-2021, 02:59 PM

Weird, I tried it again today and have the same problem. As I mentioned not a deal breaker as long as each part plays

Have you tried it on another player, especially another brand (if you have access to one)? Even if it works, it might be worth giving VS a heads up. There could be a small number of discs with an error, or some sort of player incompatibility issue.

I just tried it on a Panasonic and there's no problem. It must have something to do with the Samsung. I have other players but now that I know it's not the disc I'm fine. Thanks to everyone who checked

I've had a few things pop up like that over the years. One more thing you might check (if you haven't already done so) is whether the player that displayed the issue has its most current firmware version.

Curious how the 35mm blow up scan looks. Presumably not a whole lot better, but still curious.

We'll see... probably better than the old Slasher Video DVD though. Unless there are things left unlisted on that Diabolik listing, it looks like not all the special features from that earlier disc are making the jump to the new format - though there are some new ones included too.

Am I going to rebuy Boardinghouse?

jzbadblood · 09-15-2021, 07:39 PM

Is it going up on the VS site soon? I wanted to snag WNUF but was waiting for something else to really commit along with it. This most definitely fits the bill.

Is the Original home video cut the 3 hour cut? The old DVD had it and it looked like a pixelated mess at points. Idk if I should get excited about this new release.

THE LAUGHING, LEERING, LAMPOONING LURES OF DAVID F. FRIEDMAN

a VHS tape of this from Amazon costs 25 bucks, so good value on the She-Freak blu. I don't like the movie, but would almost get it for the trailer comp.

BluZone · 09-15-2021, 09:56 PM

Pretty sure the 'home video cut' is almost the same length as the 'theatrical' cut. The extended cut made its DVD debut in 2015 which came out 7 years after the Code Red release.

From imdb on the matter :

Quote:

The 1983 release by Paragon Home Video was dubbed from the original Beta video master. The 1985 Paragon re-release has very slightly different packaging and was duplicated from a theatrical 35mm print which was blown up from Beta. In this version, the opening narration is omitted (replaced with bleeping computer sounds), the credits sequences are matted in the 35mm's 1.85:1 aspect ratio and the rest of the film has been kept in it's original aspect ratio of 1.33:1

Quote:

The Slasher Video DVD features the 157 minute director's cut.

The Diabolik listing also notes a precisely unreleased alternate cut titled "Psycho Killer"

Ya, Code Red Bill did it first once again. Two DVD's of this already, with different extras even between those, and now a 3rd release. It makes sense as it's OOP once again, but man, I need to put the brakes on all these double-dips.
