Fun City Editions Blu-ray releases
I was about to post in the Vinegar Syndrome thread when I realized this label is on their own now (or at least not with OCN, anyway). I'm not sure how well their stuff sells compared to the previous arrangement, and I doubt we'll ever see them do decent sales, but they do have some interesting stuff slated for the months ahead, so I figured it might be worth having a dedicated thread.
https://www.funcityeditions.com/shop BAD COMPANY (1972) comes out in August:
Canada's own aerobics-fest HEAVENLY BODIES (1984) follows in October:
And the Phoebe Cates skin-fest PARADISE (1982) another Canadian production, also comes out in October (trailer below is NSFW): Contains several minutes of never-before-seen footage, as well as the chart-topping theme song sung by Phoebe Cates.

Re: Fun City Editions Blu-ray releases
This was announced back in September and I guess it’s available now. It’s a trailer comp (plus other stuff) with a New York City bent: WELCOME TO FUN CITY. I like their editions but can’t do their pricing unless they grow enough to have better sales (some standards editions are discounted to $22 right now, but still a bit steep for me). For those interested in trailer comps, though, this might be cool.
https://www.funcityeditions.com/shop...ncityslipcover https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...e69307f638.png This 2-disc collection of some 200 theatrical trailers, TV spots and radio spots, sourced entirely from fresh scans of original film and audio materials, is a first-of-its-kind document of New York, as it appeared on film during the Fun City era. Each trailer and TV spot is accompanied by a unique, optional audio commentary track from a varied roster of esteemed film journalists, programmers, academics, historians, podcasters, industry professionals and filmmakers. Special Features:
They’ve also added RACING WITH THE MOON and LIFEGUARD in recent months. |

Baby It’s You next year.

Re: Fun City Editions Blu-ray releases
I'll snag that. We need more John Sayles on physical media period.

Baby It's You already had a release from Olive, but I assume this will have a better a transfer. |
Re: Fun City Editions Blu-ray releases
I watched Joyride the other day and found it pretty entertaining. It’s one of those it only could have been released in the 70s film. But I did like it enough to where I’d consider buying it when it goes on sale/discount.

I got this one for a decent price in Unobstructed View’s post-Christmas sale, mainly to watch the film again but with bonus features. The old MGM DVD was barebones (and non-anamorphic, I think), but I did unload it ages ago for a nice sum. I was planning to wait until VS put out a standard edition, but some of these Cinématographe titles seem to be such slow sellers (and odd choices for such fancy over-packaging) that that might not necessarily happen.
Oops I totally blanked out that Joyride was a Cinematographie release and not a FCE release. I did see one film that was featured on Fatal Femmes release. I saw the film starring Isabelle Huppert (The Bitch). It was a solid film, I’m partial towards Huppert and am a fan of hers. |

Agreed. Last year was nice with Lonestar and City of Hope getting releases.
