If they are branching off, I hope they offer a subscription. I'd buy one.

That doesn't really feel like much? I'm not saying its nothing, but "one guy isn't posting in one forum on a website" and "big company has not found out and specifically spoken out against a rumor" just feels like a bit of a nothingburger. Maybe its something but that feels really circumstantial

Edit: its worth noting that when he stopped posting on blu-ray.com is right after the time that Dr Svet singled him out for what he thinks are bad restorations and the general discourse around the Married to the Mob release. I wouldn't be surprised if he just isn't interested in hanging out on a website where his own thread is openly telling people to get other releases of the film

That’s a good point. Those last few reviews were pretty brutal.

White Reindeer (2013)

[Philadelphia girl]

Good titles for me: Mindfield, Mind, Body and Soul

[pixote]

Maybe Mindfield and Mind, Body Soul. The rest most likely pass. This is my own fault but in hindsight I probably shouldn't have purchased Doris Wishman Volume 1 as 2 and 3 aren't interesting to me at all

[Jr7936]

I can't wait until black friday to get all the doris set's. Also I'm waiting for the partner labels to release irreversible since I missed out on the indicator limited release

[The Great Owl]

I went in for...

Mind, Body and Soul
Mindfield
The Films of Doris Wishman: The Daylight Years

[Bradsdadg]

Not feeling this month's offerings at all. Maybe Mindfield if the trailer is interesting enough. That's about it for me though

White Reindeer is the only of interest to me.

[DukeTogo84]

Mindfield looks pretty good.

Ended up grabbing 6 of the 11:

Doris Wishman vol. 3 - Loved the other 2 volumes. Completing the set.

Élisa - I liked the slip art; I like the cast.

The Good Book - Saturn's Core. Whether I love or hate their releases, I always find them interesting enough. Also the insane amount of bonus material on each release is a selling point for me.

Mind, Body and Soul - Wings Hauser

Mindfield - Michael Ironside

White Reindeer - Christmas and Strippers. Although my expectations are low.

Sell-Out and Distant I might pick up later. Not sure about those two, but since nothing is shipping until December I have plenty of time to think about them.

The Nuri Bilge Ceylan film is excellent & the lead actor, Mehmet Emin Toprak (who died in a car crash soon after filming was complete), was posthumously awarded Best Actor at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

[Umdlye]

Picking up three this month:
Élisa (AI completionist)
White Reindeer (reviewers seem really excited about the lead performance and I need something to watch for Christmas)
and I Think We're Alone Now. (My first ETR Media release. I was on the fence after reading a bunch of reviews saying it's super exploitative but I watched it on YouTube and it felt okay to me. The documentary creator said the "update" short docs in the extras are newly filmed, so that pushed me off the fence.)

Might pick up Distant later but not really in the mood for a meditation like that at the moment.

MINDFIELD was selling well and it's limited to 2000 copies. The last time I checked there were 1500 left, today I checked to see if it was getting closer to 1000 and now it says there are over 2000 copies in stock...2776 to be exact!?
