The Valentine's sale ends tonight. I have couple of movies I'm considering but haven't placed an order yet. For anyone interested Vinegar Syndrome did send out an email to regular customers with a $5 coupon code good through the end of sale.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The From Beyond 4k edition with the Slipcover is about to sellout. I haven't seen the movie and its been out since January but damn that was fast.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The FOMO crowd really spun themselves into a frenzy over it.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Ever since I've gotten into collecting more VS movies it feels like FOMO really happens a lot among VS collectors. I'm in a few collectors groups on Facebook and it's kind of ridiculous.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The crazy part is that it never went on sale. Folks were like, "yeah, I'm gonna wait until May for the halfway to BF sale." Look what happened now.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

I was waiting until March so I'd have something to amortize the shipping with, but oh well. I went for it, even though I don't really care about those slipcovers. (It's at least not strictly FOMO for me; I genuinely love the movie and always intended to buy it, and I would've placed an order sooner if I had something else to go with it.)

But yeah, it is funny seeing how a title will sell at a steady, relatively modest clip, but once the numbers hit a certain point, it's this exponential cycle where some people bite before it sells out, which makes more people bite before it sells out, which makes even more people bite before it sells out... It took nearly 2 months to move 6,200 copies but sold through nearly 800 copies in, like, 7 hours.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

40+ copies left now.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

14 new partner label titles. I'm betting the Shaolin Invincibles + Seven to One double feature will be of interest to plenty here.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Yeah, placed my order for a few:

Freeway II 4K
Babe BD
Gina BD
Mexican Gothic BD set

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The flash preorder for the halfway to Black Friday releases in May starts next weekend.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Films at Home creator, Jeff interviews Oscar Becher, Archivist and Vault Manager for VS. It's an interesting hour.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Yeah that's a good video and I watched it yesterday.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Showgirls in 4k is the pre-order for the Halfway to Black Friday sale. 🤣

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Just Showgirls for me!

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Ordered Showgirls. I still have that Ultimate DVD set. It still holds my record for best overall release package.

I don't know why I got semi-obsessed with this movie.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

perhaps for the T & A.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

No, there is plenty of better T & A on this thing called the internet. Something called Google.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Just noticed the 'Welcome To VS' bundles. Are those a new addition to the site? Nothing in them I don't already have (aside from a couple of titles I don't really want), but might be of interest to newcomers. I'm wondering if it's just a way of clearing out low-sellers? I'm not sure the pricing would beat the usual 50% off sales, though.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Those collections have been on the website for a while now. They include movies I already have but it'd nice to see Raw Force on that link as it's a title that I think everyone recommends to people who are new to collecting Vinegar Syndrome movies.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

It's definitely near the top of my list.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The gay guy (no idea what his name is) that does one of the commentaries is probably one of the funniest and most enjoyable commentaries I have ever heard. After watching it once with that commentary, I not only viewed the movie completely differently, but I never wanted to watch it again without that commentary playing. One of the very, very few commentaries that did that for me.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

RAW FORCE is definitely a gem. In fact, in the set with that included, all five are a lot of fun. Just watched DEATH PROMISE a couple of months ago and it's one of the more consistently (if unintentionally) amusing "martial arts buddies make a movie" movies I've seen (and I have a bunch!). :lol:

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

That's David Schmader, who has hosted "annotated screenings" of Showgirls as a sort of piece of performance art since 1999.

I might also recommend the book 'It Doesn't Suck: Showgirls' by Adam Nayman, which actually mounts a sincere (non-ironic) defense of the film.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

I watched Showgirls last night with that Commentary and it's a lot of fun. I'm sure it'll get carried over to this new release. Also went ahead and placed my pre-order.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Ordered Show Girls. I watched the first half of Sidekicks this morning. Yet another title that looks far better than I’d have ever expected.

I wonder if Showgirls will include the You Don’t Nomi documentary. Seems like the perfect release for that.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

I caved and ordered Showgirls last night. The ability to combine shipping with the halfway sale was an additional incentive.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

For Hong Kong fans looking for something different, I highly recommend BULLETS OVER SUMMER, Wilson Yip's next picture after BIO-ZOMBIE (coming on another VS label as I recall), and from his fertile era long before he became an IP MAN assembly line. :thumbsup:

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

I keep checking the VS website waiting to find out how soon we will find out the extras for the Showgirls 4k set. I hope it carries over the commentary plus I've heard the TV edit of the movie is pretty funny although I've never seen it.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

At worst, they'll be revealed alongside the remaining Halfway to Black Friday titles. Maybe we'll know at the beginning of the month.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The extras for Showgirls are listed on the Vinegar Syndrome website. I couldnt do a copy and paste of them from my phone to this post. Looks like all existing extras from previous releases will port over including the commentary and a bunch of new interviews.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

No "you don't nomi" doc included, then...

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

That documentary is widely available and has a separate dvd/bluray released so it probably couldn't be included.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Wish it had the hilarious TV cut.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

The Halfway to Black Friday Sale starts tonight.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

is this when stuff like Showgirls goes on sale?

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Not in the sense of it being discounted, but it'll be available to buy, yeah. (Although pre-orders have been up for a couple of months now, including at a lower price point than it'll be tonight.)

I'll pick up the fifth volume of Forgotten Gialli now that it'll be discounted, but that might be the only thing I grab, depending on what the as-yet-unrevealed titles are.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

I know probably was posted on site, but extras and is it a remaster?

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Showgirls is part of Vinegar Syndrome Ultra line and those releases are not usually discounted in the Limited Edition box set. Yes Showgirls has been given a 4k remaster and will have almost previous extras included plus a bunch of new interviews.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
 

Not much from the sale I had to have but bought Invisible Maniac to go along with my Showgirls preorder.
