Signature Entertainment Discussion Thread

[Markgway]

Haven't seen any of these movies... but they look like the biggest collection of bottom shelf crap I've ever seen.

[Foggy]

I know, it fact there is great stuff not reaching the platform but these lazy bar stools keep releasing new stuff week in week out is a genuine nuisance.

Putting aside any issues regarding aspect ratio or anything mentioned...
I've picked up the following cheap from cex or eBay and these I found pretty good
Swamp Shark,
Casino Jack
Predestination
Extraction
The Loft

All were entertaining and solid, I've no trouble recommending those and happy I've got them.

The kidnapping of Freddy Heineken was just ok, some good parts but overall nothing special. I picked up for £4 and am ok with that but I'd be disappointed if I bought day one prices

[Markgway]

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd bother with most of these if they were in Poundland...

[bigdavehopes]

There releases definately are not for everyone. And yeah, they made some colossal screw ups with aspect ratio etc.

But...

There are some jems in there.

A few I really enjoyed recently:
Rise of the Krays
The Loft
Last Knights
Dying of the Light
Hours

I don't mind taking a risk on some of the lower quality movies as as someone as said, you can sometimes find them in a poundland

Anyone got the signature release of Mojave that's out today?
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Mojave-Blu-ray/149119/

Just wondering if it's safe to purchase or whether it's another with messed up aspect ratio etc?

Original post updated with new releases:

[blueman_Richie]

So, anyone got Mojave which I believe is out today (thought it was last week d'oh)?

[Sky_Captain]

Dying of The Light is surprisingly, in the correct aspect ratio.

Kept waiting for it to zoom in after the opening credits, like ITV used to do.

[CelestialAgent]

Miike’s First Love comes in a yellow slimline case that to my eyes is kind of ugly

[CelestialAgent]

After his last films were released over here through Warner Bros (and distributed/financed by Amazon), Woody Allen’s latest film is now being distributed over here by Signature Entertainment.

https://www.filmstories.co.uk/news/w...-a-uk-release/

So both this and Gilliam’s latest (obviously both controversial figures), are released here by no-name outfits not that many people will keep track of.

[IanSchultz23]

Gilliam hasn’t done anything he said some nuanced stuff about #metoo that got blown into clickbait headlines... don’t compare him to Allen

[stratford]

Dose any one know why Sea Fever (Neasa Hardiman) on blu suddenly vanished from Amazon? others claim to have it at comic prices.

[drush9999]

Is this the alternative poundland thread?

Probably delayed due to covid-19.

What's so controversial about Gilliam?

[Aclea]

He said Weinstein was a sleazebag but questioned the notion of some actresses not knowing what they were getting into when they visited his hotel room in the evening and were greeted by him in nothing but a dressing gown.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/201...rule-weinstein

And, having taken a pasting for it (amusingly from, among others, rentanoutragedquote Judd Apatow, who demands the eternal damnation and immediate blacklisting of other filmmakers without trial, evidence or due process but has refused to condemn his pal James Franco for multiple alleged sexual assaults and himself set his attack dogs on an actress who simply said a film of his that she was in was 'a bit sexist'), did it again a year later:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/202...-hunt-backlash

[IanSchultz23]

And the fact virtue signally celebs in twitter tried to claim Gilliam was defending Weinstein was insane, the man avoided working with Weinsteins for decades and The one time he did he despised it so much he went off to make Tideland in the middle of post production on Brothers Grimm so he could cleanse his soul. Gilliam despised Weinstein before it was hip he even co-authored a book saying how awful both Bob and Harvey is.

Actually very true. Is interesting a number of well known actresses and TV celebrities probably 10 years or more ago hinted and in some cases even more strongly implied they had sex with producers or directors to get parts or their big break in Hollywood. Now that’s airbrushes out of history and they either keep quiet about it or claim they were exploited. They knew what they were getting into, being invited to a hotel room late at night.
