The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Going blu didn't take as long as I'd thought. I have Nail Gun Massacre on DVD already and I'm fine with that unless it's somehow a lot better.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I just started watching my first Maria's B Movie Mayhem. Her hosting is some of the absolute dumbest shit I've seen in some time. Her music video was equally awful but I wasn't expecting anything other than that.

Which Maria film?

Maria makes Scorpion's Katarina seem like a Criterion scholar by comparison.

Riot on 42nd St. / Bad Girls Dormitory

I have a few Katarina ones but haven't seen any yet. I'm really curious to see how worse they are.

Living Deadpan

I guess my hyperbolic analogy backfired. What I meant to say is that I prefer Katarina, she's not as much of a ditz as Maria (thus seeming like a "Criterion scholar" by comparison). Plus I like Katarina's European-ness.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Rereading it, I see what you said. It's been a loooong day.

Hopefully someone can help me out here, I need scans of the covers for Hot Moves and Alice In Wonderland, I have tried everywhere and can't find these at all.


Also does anyone have a complete list of titles released by code red and the Spine Number that goes with it

Living Deadpan

This site might help you out: http://criterion.mono.net/18589/Code%20Red

Thanks, too bad they haven't updated in a while :-( The last release they have listed is Stanley

Most Code Red Titles "One Per Customer".I think it means that you're only allowed to
buy one title for yourself. I guess this is supposed to help from buying
a bunch, then price gouging unsuspecting buyers on other sites. (This
is happening on e-bay & amazon.com right now.)



Yes, and Bill does this himself under 'anonymous' accounts such as
"the exterminator' (didn't they both happen to close up shop online
roughly around same time this Summer?) ... trust me, that account IS/WAS
him ... he may have others as well ... he manufactures scarcity by
pulling his stock very shortly after making it available and claiming
'sold out' then he makes more money per piece by selling at
collectible/OOP prices through these accounts ... it's a very old and
typical capitalist business practice ... we are ALL victims of this with
most everything we buy here ... Any denials or defense statements on
Bill's part should be taken with a grain of salt regarding any of this
... he also only does this with certain titles wherein he feels it more
lucrative to do so (i.e., engineered scarcity) ... also, it would look
suspect if he did it with his 'entire' catalog or the bulk thereof ...

Bill ignores my e-mails now. I guess he saw some of my reviews these past few challenges

Anyone bought off the Big Cartel site? Does he really limit to just one?

Undeadcow

I don't think Bill actually limits orders to one per title even if the description does indicate a limit. He recently commented/joked about holding orders of Nightmare that were of a large quantity to delay scalpers.

Living Deadpan

Just FYI, Hamiltonbook.com added the following Code Red DVDs to their catalog a few months ago.
Most of 'em are $8 I believe. Much cheaper than "The Exterminator" sells them.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I'd be surprised if the exterminator was really him. I think it's managed by someone close to him but can't be Bill. Bill would be one of the guys that flips out on the marketplace forums the second he got bad feedback. That seller has gone on too long without self-imploding to be Bill.

A newbie posting this out of nowhere? Sounds like a fellow with an axe to grind? If he is trying to sell his titles at a higher market rate, then why would he allow a venue like Hamilton Books to sell them at $8 bucks a pop? If he truly is controlling his prices, how did all those titles wound up in Hamilton books?

SterlingBen

He was selling these titles for $4-$5 a piece direct in 2012 if you paypal'd him the money.
Ha!

Living Deadpan

It appears to be copy/pasted from AV Maniacs' Code Red thread.

They're less likely to arrive as floaters from HB, they package better.

This is item description on one of their blu-rays
http://codereddvd.bigcartel.com/prod...imited-edition

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

This is a perfect example of why it's impossible Bill is running the exterminator account at Amazon. Someone shows a scene that isn't in the release. He calls it a fake. Then continues the temper tantrum by making the release OOP and then must have rushed over to edit the description on that page.

I was also reading the facebook just now and he doesn't seem to get that even though he can't distribute something overseas, doesn't mean he can't ship there from the US. If that were the case, amazon uk/us couldn't ship to each other's countries. The story behind that is he has some 4 pack of blu-rays he had up for pre-order. Then some people from "overseas", including Canada, ordered it. Since he can't/won't ship overseas, he cancelled every pre-order. This was all of them, including those from the US.

Norm de Plume

Code Red seems like a sheer amateur operation. No sign of The Farmer, which was slated for release many years ago, and it's not available to be seen any other way I know of.

Undeadcow

Is this related to the Messiah of Evik etc bundles? If so can you post a link? I'd been curious about the status of my pre-order, which had indicated being available around Oct 25. Bummer.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I'm rereading it now but it might just be that he cancelled all future preorders, or pre-books as he calls it. The dude writes like he's had major brain damage from a stroke, or as someone else mentioned in a post, he's the real life version of Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill .
