Clockwatchers is the critically acclaimed gal-pal comedy about four office temps trying to maintain both their upward mobility and their sanity. The four women - shy Iris (Toni Collette), brash Margaret (Parker Posey), wannabe starlet Paula (Lisa Kudrow), and pampered Jane (Alanna Ubach) - become fast friends while temping at a big company where looking busy is a full time occupation.

Interesting that now Shout will be using Allied Vaughn. Is this new?

Yes. I made a post about in the SF/Scream thread:

I'm not sure if this is a new alternative to their limited edition site exclusive strategy, or what. On the plus side, there is a potential for less scratched discs going this route. Allied Vaughn are the same company that manufactures discs for Warner Archive. These releases should be sold elsewhere as well, but not as many places as a wide release would be.

Here is the first wave, which all appear to be coming in September:

A World Without Thieves (2004)

Big Fan (2009)

Clockwatchers (1997)

Linoleum (2022)

Miranda (2002)

Yeah, when searching for this film on here, I came across your wishlist thread, so I knew you'd be particularly happy about this news

Same here! It's an excellent movie! I can't wait to get this. The old full-screen DVD can be retired for a widescreen remaster. Can't wait to see it!

If so NO WAY! No Sale.

No, looks to be pressed based on the packaging. MovieZyng just puts the BD-R blurb by default on most of their product pages.

I was expecting this to come from Criterion because I thought they had it, but I’m glad for it to be receiving a physical release nonetheless.

When did Parker Posey not play such a character Lol

Clockwatchers is filled with so many great quotes!

Definitely! It's been a bit of an underrated movie. People either know all about it or have never heard of it. It's a modern classic! It even has Paul Dooley in it! What more could anyone want?

dubhousing · 07-31-2024, 06:37 PM

I'm not surprised. Shout Factory's Non-Stop 90s streaming channel runs Clockwatchers constantly, at least a few times a week, it seems.

It's a newer kid on the block but very much in the same vein as Orbit DVD, Diabolik DVD, and Grindhouse Video.

Good to know! Thanks for the suggestion! It's nice to see a new physical media store in these days.

Thank you guys for the info on Atomic Movie Store. I ordered Clockwatchers from there a few days ago for $14.95 and received it in the mail today. Shipping was very reasonable too. Under $5.00 to ship, USPS ground, and packaged with great care. Wow. Very happy with their service.

Even though the link to order Clockwatchers at Atomic still says "Preorder", I got it right away.

Good to get this disc for about half the full price. The transfer is okay, but kinda soft as the site review says. The streaming version currently on Prime, same print, looks better and more detailed.

Kuleshov · 08-28-2024, 07:21 AM

I just saw this on the Orbit DVD pre-order page. I'm excited to get my hands on it. I didn't think it'd ever get a blu-ray release. Great cast.

so is this not going to be up for order on the shout site? not seeing it as of now.
