I'm running a bit skint at the mo, so nothing new from me for a while! ๐Ÿ˜†

However, I pre-ordered Arrow Video's release of Tremors 2: Aftershocks which isn't released until November.

That 2001: A space Odyssey is a nice set:

Unfortunately, the DVD holder is unglued, but that seems to have happened to all of them now, by looking through the web.
It was ยฃ9.57 incl. shipping in "Very Good" condition on Amazon from mommox.co.uk.

Dammit! There's me thinking that they got an actual reel of film and spliced it up! ๐Ÿ˜„

That's a really nice DVD set though.

To be honest, haven't heard about Senitype before, I thought that's what it was going to be. But I guess that would be a lot more expensive. Still, it's worth it. There's the soundtrack CD and the box has a book-like cover. I didn't expect it to be that heavy.

That flyer has also reminded about those big black box releases of films. I was very tempted but I don't think the price quite justified what came inside.

Check Amazon and look through used DVDs. I don't know any such box sets, so I just checked one from the flyer, The Matrix. It's currently being sold in condition "Used - Good" for ยฃ3.73. I'd get it, but I haven't seen Matrix. I only buy movies I like. So far I only have stack of 11 and I already don't know where to put it...

Yeah I found one, I already owned what was in the box so it wouldn't been pointless for me. ๐Ÿ˜†

I've been tempted to pick up Event Horizon in 4K and after discovering I had a ยฃ5 voucher, I snagged this French for off eBay for just ยฃ10.

I love the artwork which I hadn't seen before and I think it's so much better than the standard US poster art.

It's literally just a 4K copy of the film. No Blu-ray or any extras at all.

I'm a big fan of the film and I bought the 2 disc dvd edition back in the day and Paramount have been recycling those extras ever since so I'm not missing out.
