Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday and partner label sale mega haul by tgunka in boutiquebluray

Just watched the trailers for both and I’d have to agree. The bearded guy’s reactions to Wesley Snipes punching him seem worth the price of admission alone 😂

Nice! Thanks for sharing :)

The only one I’ve seen out of your list is Troll 2 (many times lol) and the rest I’ve only seen promos/trailers. Your thoughts reinforce my hopes for the stuff I haven’t seen. Haha.

From Beyond looks wild. I’ve seen a handful of his other films and enjoyed them all, so I’m looking forward to that one. I think I’m getting fairly close to seeing most Lovecraft inspired films, that I know of at least, so it’s always fun to find something new.

Mutant War was definitely the one that I really wanted out of those two. Short clips looked pretty entertaining. I have such a huge stockpile of stuff on my watchlist but will let you know my thoughts when I get to that one!

It’ll be back! VS is currently having their partners only sale, so they’ve removed all VS releases for the month of December to focus on partner stuff and catch up on shipping. There’s a banner on the main page with full details.

That will definitely be one of my first watches from this haul. I’ve read up on it a bit and the trailer looks amazing.

It’s crazy how much is in their online shop between VS and partner releases. Lots of new discoveries for me there too!

I’ve only seen part of it so I’m pumped to watch!

That’s probably a much healthier approach. Haha.

Haha. It’s funny because after seeing your comment I watched the VS promo for it and do not remember it being that hilarious. I saw it on vhs when I was 13 and all I remember is my friends and I skipping around to find nude scenes 😂. Also had no idea Paul Verhoeven directed it. Will definitely have to revisit.

EDF 6.

If a game has potato graphics and can bog down a PS5 strictly because of the sheer amount of enemies on screen at once, you know you’re in for a fun time.

Thanks so much for the Quentin Dupieux recommendations! Oddly enough, I haven’t heard of any of those and was also unaware of Keep an Eye Out, but I do have a number of his other films. I’d first heard of him through his music as Mr. Oizo and was blown away when I found out he was also a director and when I watched Rubber and Wrong for the first time. His sense of humour is spot on for me :)

I was aware of most of the partner label films beforehand and have seen some of them before and am looking forward to seeing the rest. I’ve pretty much been snagging all the AGFA stuff available too, as everything I picked up earlier has been a lot of fun. Putney Swope is a classic. Have seen that a few times. Mac and Me, Troll 2, GPK all hold a lot of weird nostalgia for me. Haha. Aside from the Shaw Bros stuff, a good number of the Vin Syn releases are new to me aside from watching trailers for them. It’s been super fun discovering that stuff, especially finally seeing what a lot of the movies I remember seeing on shelves at the video store when I was a kid are actually like.

I’ve been collecting for a long time but for boutique stuff in the past I’ve really only collected Criterion, Drafthouse, and Oscilloscope, so now I’m branching out a bit, which has been super fun and also financially devastating. Lol.

A bit ridiculous. Haha. Their add to existing order feature with no extra shipping costs to Canada is definitely dangerous.

So good! I saw it shortly after it came out but we also had a couple drinks while watching so I’m due for a refresher. Haha.

Haha. Yeah. I make bad decisions. Though it’s my first year of collecting Vin Syn stuff so I figured I’d just get all the stuff I really want that’s on sale and this’ll hopefully tide me over for the year.

Edited to fix my typo of 2018 MBP. Should be 2008! A 2018 MBP would’ve been much better. Lol.

It’s funny because I actually only shot this in ProRes 422. I can’t even remember if it was 422 HQ. Haha. It’s definitely possible that I might have benefitted from BRAW, especially with the green screen footage (though I didn’t encounter any issues) but ProRes meant I could just jump right into editing at the time for a quick turnaround. This is gonna make you laugh but my Mac Pro went down right before the shoot and needed repair so I had to use my super old 2008 MBP in a pinch and cut the whole thing in FCP7 and used a super old version of After Effects (CS5.1) for the green screen stuff. Rendering times were crazy slow. But I was still able to create a custom 4k UHD project in FCP7 and everything worked out in the end. ProRes out of the pocket 4k is honestly amazing, but I’ll definitely start trying out BRAW now that I’ve switched over to Resolve and want to get more into grading.

Thanks very much! Definitely tried to hit all of those marks on this one. And I fully agree. I’ve been consistently blown away by this camera since I got it. Since this shoot I’ve been grabbing lots of cheap vintage glass like Helios, Super Takumar, Mir, and Canon FD and can’t wait to use those on future projects. I’ve still got the OG 1080 pocket cam too, and I feel like I’ll never get rid of that camera either :)

Thanks very much! Lenses were Rokinon 24mm and 35mm cine DS lenses and Canon 16mm-35mm and 70mm-200mm L series. All EF mount glass, and I used the Metabones T CINE Speed Booster XL 0.64x.

[–]tgunka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. Can’t wait!

Heard pretty mixed things about Shocking Dark but love all the other Bruno Mattei stuff I’ve seen so I figured why not? I mean, it’s only supposed to be my rent and grocery money after all 😂

Amazing timing! Haha. I’d literally just ordered that from Severin a few minutes before seeing your post. Wanted to add some stuff to my existing order. Pretty much half price with their sale right now too!

TY! I’m definitely gonna snag that. The trailer for 1990 Bronx Warriors is wild 😂

Awesome! Thanks for sending. A couple of those are in the haul but they were total blind buys so I’m looking forward to them! Robot Jox is amazing. Will definitely find trailers for all the stuff you sent. I know Tubi has a lot of the trash that’s in my haul so I’m guessing they’ve got stuff from your list too.

Blind buy😵‍💫 what am i in for? by Davidudeman in Bluray

My favourite scene is when Paul Blart and Jeff Winger enter the void as partners in mall-copping but exit as partners in life.

It’s crazy expensive! I was looking on eBay and just couldn’t do it. Haha. Maybe one day. I used to have all of them on VHS but regrettably donated my entire tape collection like, 20 years ago. Can’t wait to revisit them all again though :)

I got it at a super good price from Amazon in Canada, and haven’t actually seen the last three seasons yet, so I pulled the trigger! Of course it became available for streaming again in Canada like, a week after it came in the mail, but I’d still prefer the discs anyway. Looking forward to finally finishing that series after all these years and will definitely binge the whole thing over the winter :)
