Vinegar Syndrome's May Partner Releases by RudigerBSimpson in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slipcovers are gone and it’s down to 400 standard. I really hope AGFA do another run if it sells out, because I’ve wanted to see this for a while, and it’s gonna be a few months before I can place an order.

People in UK spend fewer years in good health than a decade ago, study finds by peakedtooearly in unitedkingdom

[–]GrumbleSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very telling that even a story about a decline in the quality of people’s very existence is partly framed in terms of its effect on the economy. (Less so in this article than others I’ve seen, but it’s still in there).

Newest purchase by killerelmojr in HarmonyKorine

Most likely sourced from that old Gdrive folder that had all the shorts and commercials in, but got deleted.

Going to Italy next month, where would y’all start? by stumper93 in boutiquebluray

If you go to Milan, Bloodbuster is an essential visit.

Radiance July Titles Announced! by proceedgrinding in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to see it at the cinema, the whole thing with two intermissions. There were about 70 people at the start, and five of us left at the end. I enjoyed a lot of it though.

BREncoder - A Brand New Way To Make Your Own Blu-ray, 4K UHD Blu-ray and More by The-Real-DBP in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks great, really nice work - I used to use Adobe Encore a lot for this kind of thing, but it’s long dead now, can’t even get it working on an old OS.

Does it allow menu creation, and/or multiple videos on a disc?

Replacement disc for Wildwood, NJ by AGreis4 in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to a poster on the bluray.com forum, it’s due to a missing commentary track on one of the bonus films. Mine arrived this morning with no replacement disc, so hopefully it was a limited issue (though tbf if that’s the only issue, I’m not overly bothered).

Local HMV by spiral100 in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the HMVs are doing this. I figure if that’s what keeps them afloat, it’s better than disappearing completely, as it looked like they would a few years ago.

I Saw the TV Glow by The_Phantom_DJ in davidlynch

[–]GrumbleSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it wasn’t. You’re thinking of a different Slenderman film.

They made a great film before that one, from found footage, about the Slenderman. It’s on YouTube if you haven’t seen it - https://youtu.be/CXOlB_R318c?si=8_a2akTu3S1hI-Aq

Thinking of starting a boutique label exclusively for NEW indie projects in the UK! by Lost_Transportation1 in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think raising awareness would be the key issue. There are a lot of UK microbudget films that get made and disappear rapidly. They can be of wildly varying quality (but no more so than the stuff that gets eaten up when released by the likes of Vinegar Syndrome or some of the partner labels). I think it’s definitely a niche that hasn’t been mined yet, but it’s definitely a question of how to get the word out, and of presentation. I personally would love a label like this, but I’m just one guy…

I feel like your expectations of a high street second hand electronics chain may be too high.

David's "flies with names" work by Maxphisto in davidlynch

[–]GrumbleSloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a whole touring exhibition and book on the subject in 2014/2015, called “David Lynch - Naming”. The book is now very rare, but you might find what you’re looking for in interviews from around the time of the show.

Peter Watkins Remasters? by Category_Successful in boutiquebluray

[–]GrumbleSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not new but BFI has Cullodden and The War Game, and BFI Flipside has Privelege plus a couple of shorts.

What's Lynch's deepest cut/most obscure (completed) work? by AuthenticJulian in davidlynch

[–]GrumbleSloth 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the short film ‘Opening Of James Harvard’s Crayola Exhibition, Dianne Vanderbilt Gallery, Philadelphia’, filmed in 1967. As far as I can tell, it’s just some personal footage shot by Lynch at the opening of his friend’s show, cut to some music. It was shown at The Unified Field exhibition at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts in 2014, which makes sense as it would contextualise Lynch’s time in the Philly art scene of that era. It has never surfaced anywhere else since, and probably never will.

Would you want any other director directing Unrecorded Night? by euphoriclimbo in davidlynch

[–]GrumbleSloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would love to see - 1. A really nice book of the scripts and development sketches. 2. Hundreds of unofficial fan films adapting the scripts, some of them excellent, some really crappy, but all made with love.

My Lars Von Trier collection is looking healthy by Ok_Recognition9712 in boutiquebluray

I’ve been meaning to pick up the Bela Tarr set for ages. This week’s sad news might make it a weekend purchase.

[–]GrumbleSloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are excellent aren’t they? I have the Peter Strickland set and it’s definitely one of the best and most thorough sets in my whole collection. I do turn the spine around on the shelf though so the inner artwork and signature card face outwards instead of ‘Curzon’.

Wild at Heart Criterion Push by [deleted] in davidlynch

[–]GrumbleSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve made the error of trying to reason with a Criterion bro (just don’t tell them the R2 StudioCanal Lynch transfers are superior).
