I can live with 2.0 DTS. I just can’t wait to watch this trash again.

I'll just watch Showgirls with the commentary until the replacement discs arrive.

Your lazy refusal to read posts that people have already written to explain questions you are very late in asking is infuriating and a huge waste of everyone else's time. The information you want is already in the thread, and not even very far back. Scroll up a little.

I got my halfway to black Friday order today which was a welcome surprise. I thought I'd get it on Monday. I do notice some dialog being out of sync even while listening to the commentary.

Some interest information from the upcoming summer subscribers week. The adult titles are getting spun off to their own website starting in August.

The flaw in this disc is that the surround channels have a very tiny delay, putting them very slightly out of sync with the front channels. This is only audible in music, and sounds like the track has a little extra reverb. Considering that most of the electronica dance and club music in the film already has tons of reverb anyway, most viewers will probably never notice it without being given a time code and told what to listen for.
If you're experiencing dialogue out of sync with the visuals, that's probalby an equipment problem on your end. Try adjusting the audio delay settings in your A/V receiver.

Now the defective 4k disc of Showgirls won't even play in my player. The disc just goes to the menu screen and won't let me select anything.

I imagine you cleaned any smudges. Any tiny scratches? Haven't watched the entire disc yet but it does play and chapter stops work.

I still haven't gotten my halfway to BF order which included Showgirls.

Man, that Showgirls set is a behemoth. Very nice looking and got some good stuff. Can’t wait to watch this wretched movie again.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
I've read that they're shipping the non-subscriber, non-flash-preorders now. This is my first time falling into that group, I think (never subscribed, but I do typically do at least one flash preorder), and I haven't gotten a shipping notification yet either. These usually do take a while to ship out, and the schedule is pretty much in step with how they pitched it.

I got the same email with a coupon code. What else is worth buying from them, for someone who isn't so much into super-obscure '70s sleaze flicks? Looks like Road House is no longer available.

The VSU box set of Road House sold out during the sale so they should have the standard edition listed on the website on July 1st.

Re: The Official Vinegar Syndrome Thread
New Vinegar Syndrome titles are up!...plus a huge selection of partner label titles, chief among them Deaf Crocodile's The Pied Piper.
Also:
September will lead with the world BD debut of the star studded proto-slasher ARNOLD, the first of many titles to come from our new deal with Paramount! Plus, a razor wielding, black clad assailant is gorily slashing throats in Montreal in our world disc debut of the highly underrated and surprisingly grisly Québécois giallo, EVIL JUDGEMENT, which we’ve gloriously restored from its original negative. And how about early 80s Hong Kong horror? We’ve got you covered in that department as well. And to round out the month, we’ve arranged a double feature of two of the most head scratching American regional horror films ever produced…
October will present the world BD debut of a haunting never-on-disc slasher which has been completely unavailable in any format since the 80s. Plus, three world UHD debuts, including a true “Tromasterpiece,” a notoriously brutal slasher, and an international gore fest which made exploitation history.
Finally, we’re gearing up for our best Black Friday to date, including never-on-disc slashers, our biggest box set ever (10 movies!) and PROPHECY 1-3 on UHD, newly and exclusively restored by VS, IN ADDITION to two Secret Surprise Titles!
Also:
And that’s just 1/5 of this year’s remaining lineup… Looking ahead to August, we’re proud to finally uncage René Cardona’s masterpiece of avian mayhem, BEAKS! (aka BIRDS OF PREY), fully uncut and at last on Blu, as part of a stellar lineup which will also include BD debuts of a set of Brazilian sleaze gems, and the world UHD debut of a bad-taste German favorite.
