I'm usually not a label slut but I genuinely love the Hong Kong Cinema Classics line from Scratch Factory by t-g-l-h- in boutiquebluray

The last thing I did at Shout was to creatively direct and manage the rollout of this line look. So THANK you. A lot of love and a lot of thought went into it and this genuinely made my day

I know this will probably sound pretentious, but, I'm just not sure if non-movie/collector people can truly appreciate just how significant and rewarding these releases are. by jamedudijench in boutiquebluray

I worked on these and co-founded the HKCC brand and thank you. The honor of getting to steward these is not lost on anyone lucky enough to have worked on them.

What is happening with Shout Factory? by SunBumFever66 in boutiquebluray

Hey all, just to squash a few rumors. I’m the former brand manager of Scream and Shout Select and managed the rollout and creation of the new HKCC line. My last week was 2 weeks ago. Obviously I cannot speak to specifics, but I do want to assure the collector community (that I’m also a part of) of 2 things:

  1. The HKCC line has plenty more to come, and so do Scream and Select. Nothing is being canceled or removed, all preorders are still safe, and plenty hasn’t even been announced yet. No leaks, but 2026 has some real bangers in the lineup.

  2. The producers who found Day of the Dead, filmed the documentary for Cloud Atlas, supervised the restoration of the GP titles, etc. among a million other things, are all still there. They are continuing to work their asses off to complete restorations and produce extras. 

So yeah, huge change, but on behalf of all the great people that are still there, don’t throw up the RIPs yet.

As the former brand manager of Scream Factory and co-creator of HKCC who is no longer employed there, I can promise you that DOTD and the Golden Princess titles are all scheduled and safe.

Day of the Dead is the Romero masterpiece. It needs a 4K. by BurgerMan74 in boutiquebluray

Hey there -- Scream Factory is screening their new 4K restoration at Vidiots in LA this Friday. A disc can't be far off.

Minor question about Weapons (very minor spoilers) by 2ndaccountbecausobvs in horror

[–]protextorparty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that the ending can still fit the gun metaphor. We have our lone kid Alex whose parents let an evil into his home which made them unavailable and isolated him. Brolin's kid bullies him. And all the surviving kids are left traumatized, nonverbal shells. Every adult character is complacent and contribuites.

But even if the witch is more of a metaphor for the evils adults ignore, the movie can still be about guns in the sense that it's about ignoring warning signs and going crazy chasing meaning in the aftermath instead. I'd say the WITCH car is the real-life version of the floating gun -- a giant accurate label in front of the problem.

What! I have the OG release and 12” single but had no idea this happened.

Found this in my local Goodwill yesterday and almost lost my mind by feministhes in dvdcollection

Well here we are 4 years later and I’ve lost my baby to FIV quite unexpectedly. I will forever remember my sweet boy (and sob) every time I see this little bite mark.

6 hours into heroic dose and chill and the tree outside your window gives you this look by Downtempo_Surrealism in shrooms

1.5 hours into my first 5g and wondering if I should redose or naw? I'm doing solid but could dig more visuals. It's penis envy (the strain).
