What happened with Maniac? Is that still forthcoming?

Im guessing theyre expensive because theyre cult favorites and BU puts alot of work into them with Bonus features and pic/sound quality. Well worth it for that price than other studios crappy releases.

Smoke and mirrors my friend, smoke and mirrors. BU has tons of great titles yet they release questionable titles. Where the hell is Zombi? Maniac?

Good news about the talk on Maniac Cop and Street Trash.

Bummed about Lemora though, as I loved the film.

I'm double-dipping on these not because they're coming to Blu-ray, but for the added commentaries. Too bad they're not offering some sort of free audio downloads for those of us who purchased them sans commentary. Oh well.

Also looking forward to Volume 5 on 9/29. :up:

I know Synapse put out the View Askew films that weren't directed by Kevin Smith (Drawing Flies, A Better Place, and Vulgar). Out of the three, A Better Place was my favorite (not to discount Drawing Flies, which was also very good; haven't seen Vulgar), and I would LOVE to see a Blu release of that.

Actually, the only one of those three movies that Synapse released was A Better Place.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

With that said, though, since A Better Place was released by Synapse, I'd like to see it on Blu.

The first BD from Synapse is two 42nd St. Forever titles? I can think of a dozen of their titles I'd rather see first.

I really want to see Street Trash and Brain Damage!

Maybe it's a licensing thing.

I believe their rights to Brain Damage lapsed, but Street Trash is on the short list (copied/pasted upthread) that Synapse first listed:

That's a shame about Brain Damage. The SE they put out was fantastic pq/aq-wise and had some great features.

I saw Street Trash on the short list, but I wanted it on the now list!

I'd just like to see any film from Synapse on BD simply because Don May, Jr. is such a transfer whore that I know anything he puts out will look flawlessly spectacular.

I like the weirdness of Circle of Iron, I'll probably pick that up.

re: Blue Underground on Blu-ray
 
in regards to Zombi - I thought I had read in Rue Morgue that there's even a longer cut of the film we (the fans) have yet to see - I hope the eventual bluray release, uses all the supplements that both DVD editions had.

Seriously? Ugh...

What's so hard for companies to understand that most of us would like all extras ported over?

Agreed. Also it's a plus because it's a Fulci film I never bought on DVD :)

Woo-hoo for BD Daughters of Darkness!!

Though the SD Special Edition (which includes The Blood Spattered Bride as an extra) already looks quite good.
