Time to watch two of his best: Larry Cohen's Bone and Paul Schrader's Blue Collar.

I need to watch Blue Collar. A friend mentioned it and I was going to blind buy it from the UK, but it may be OOP on BD.

The Powerhouse standard version is not OOP. It's available in the US via Kino.

Good looking out. It's not on sale, but I'll take it and make a small order out of it.

I'm surprised the word "decent" is in your vocabulary.

Was watching MGM-HD over the weekend, as they had a Pam Grier mini-marathon. He had a prominent role in Friday Foster, so it was a nice if unintentional tribute to him as well. Fun little movie, too.
