re: Troma on Blu-ray
Had this preordered since January... finally got this in the mail yesterday and swung by the apartment office to find my package had arrived... ... without the disc! Empty bubble wrap envelope! Argh! Luckily I called Amazon and I have another copy in my hand right now, fantastic service! I will be giving it a spin tonight.... it's good to hear that it's in the OAR of 1.33:1. I was getting worried (with the last Toxie release) that Troma was going to crop this. Excellent.

Ah, you are correct. There was a discussion on the Amazon page for the Blu-ray, but I just noticed that it was dated 2008. Obviously, it's related to the DVD then.

Just to give a heads up to those in Nevada/Arizona, Zia Records has the Troma Blu-rays on sale for $16.99. Okay, granted Amazon has had them for $14.99, but they're probably the cheapest (and only place) you can find them in a retail setting.
In fact, I had enough store credit to get both Class of Nuke 'Em High and Tromeo and Juliet for free.
I actually picked up the latter about a few minutes ago and ran into a co-worker at the same time. He read the packaging for it as he was curious to what I was buying and just slowly walked away from me. Oh Troma...
Now I just need to find Poultrygeist for cheap (or free).

Just got an email from Deep Discount saying that they cancelled my order for "Surf Nazis Must Die" because "...the item(s) listed below have been discontinued by the manufacturer and are no longer available at this time. "
I had originally ordered this before the release was delayed until December. Is Deep Discount full of crap or did Troma really cancel this release?

Oh wow, here I was being an asshole joking about it not coming out until November and here Troma goes trying to prove me wrong.
No wonder Troma is in financial ruin. They can't even get their Blu-rays out in a timely fashion to people who want to buy them.

Troma is actually being smart here. They decided to delay the Blu-ray until the remake of MOTHER'S DAY has a new theatrical release date.

Fuck, where's the long-delayed Surf Nazis Must Die?
Blue Underground really only releases one title per month, but we know about almost all of the titles they're releasing for the remainder of the year.

I bet they're holding onto the Toxic Avenger till the Hollywood version comes out. If that's the case I wouldn't mind because that leaves a chance for negotiation for some other authoring house to maybe put out the original with a decent transfer. I'd love to see what Toxie looks like properly cleaned up.

well Troma sucks, I'm going to quit even bothering to pay attention to them, Mothers Day blu-ray, which I pre-ordered in February and has been pushed back numerous times, now the September 27th date is gone and all thats left is "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available"

Troma shouldn't keep throwing out dates if they know they can't release it until the new one is released. I imagine this is the reason they always change distributors, as I know Mothers Day has been in the ADA catalog, taking orders, multiple times now - thats a quick way to burn a bridge with a distributor.

I don't get why the BD can't just be a troma store exclusive for now, and have it's wide release when the remake finally is finally released.
