A FIRESTARTER type of thing crossed with E.T., it looks like. But anything with Shannon gets a look from me. IMHO, he's one of the best actors alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886178587257453022.post-54248738183243587102016-02-12T01:07:20.947-05:002016-02-12T01:07:20.947-05:00I have had problems with SWV DVD-Rs, as well as wi...I have had problems with SWV DVD-Rs, as well as with Sinister Cinema's DVD-Rs. The ones that I burn myself play beautifully in each one of our DVD players, as well as with friends. I think the mass-duplication process onto cheap no-brand DVD-Rs may be the issue.

I may break down and order THE BEES, since it's one I saw on a double-bill and got a big kick out of in 1979 at a cracker-box theater in a strip mall in Northern California. Nowadays, those cheap little theaters are all infested with bedbugs, so I never go anymore.<br /><br />I have my share of Mill Creek box sets too.<br /><br />Like you, I rarely spend more than $5 on a DVD nowadays. Everything I ever wanted on disc is already in my DVD collection. <br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886178587257453022.post-25340913376082097042016-02-01T09:20:31.003-05:002016-02-01T09:20:31.003-05:00Yes, SWV hasn't announced anything new for a v...Yes, SWV hasn't announced anything new for a very long time ( except for a documentary called THAT'S SEXPLOITATION ).<br /><br />I think SWV is for sale. However, I do NOT think they're selling the company in separate sections.<br /><br />I'd love to see a lot of their trailers, short films, tv commercials, exploitation, and sexploitation flicks get released on "pressed" discs. Unfortunately, I don't see a company like MILL CREEK purchasing ALL their inventory, because they'd be stuck with a ton of hardcore.<br /><br />I would love to see a MILL CREEK pack of 50 former SWV flicks, or a MEGA-COLLECTION of trailers, those types of collections would be extremely welcome.<br /><br />I have mixed feelings about VINEGAR SYNDROME. I've been interested in some of their titles, but they cost too much.<br /><br />I stopped paying MORE than FIVE dollars for single movie discs years ago. In fact, I rarely purchase single movie discs anymore ( unless I find them at my local DOLLER TREE ).<br />Most of the DVDs I've been purchasing in the last five or six years, have been low priced multi-movie collections from budget companies like MILL CREEK, POP FLIX, and when I'm desperate, ECHO BRIDGE and some older "pressed" sets by TGG... they seemed to have switched to DVD-R's and have disappeared from most store shelves... coincidence?<br /><br />P.S. - I spend more time correcting my spelling errors, than I do writing the posts... ha-ha-ha...P.I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16422328915201017322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886178587257453022.post-21087677602466024002016-02-01T00:49:52.215-05:002016-02-01T00:49:52.215-05:00Mean to type (d)evolved instead of (de)evolved.

Vinegar Syndrome has pretty much taken over the market for vintage sleaze, but I'm disappointed with many of the choices VS makes for release; I was happier with SWV's choices, if not for their constant "SWV" watermark/bug in the corner. <br /><br />VS started out with great promise, but as they've (de)evolved, their almost total vintage hardcore porn releases (with a few old gore films) have become extremely boring. I mean, once you've seen one '70s hardcore film, you've seen 'em all. There are great numbers of "lost" and/or unreleased softcore and non-porn exploitation films yet to be found and released to DVD. Also, VS is spreading themselves too thin by having a second "boutique" label as well as a streaming site, while peddling their wares going to horror conventions, etc. I predict VS will do a crash-and-burn within a few years, and I won't be a bit sorry to see them go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886178587257453022.post-87998364898802510452016-01-29T13:39:06.310-05:002016-01-29T13:39:06.310-05:00I've had customer service problems in the past...I've had customer service problems in the past.<br /><br />I can't tell you anything about their downloads, because I've never purchased my movies that way.<br /><br />I've had some problems with their DVD-Rs also.

Went to that event to meet writer Max Brooks ( son of Mel Brooks ). I knew it would be my last. I really hate how these types of events have changed.<br /><br />Just for the record, the last time I went to San Diego Comic-Con International was in 91 or 92... That was BEFORE they moved to the convention center, and before it became so ridiculously big. The only reasons I still support it, is because it's still non-profit and I have good memories of past comic-cons.<br /><br />I love LIVING VENUS, but I no longer purchase DVDs from SOMETHING WEIRD.
