... needs more tai kato.

non-creative's are simply trying to give the appearance of creativity, with all assumed associated value intentionally over-simplified + facile, for a single simple aim (money) with negative downsides (unemployment) ignored or downplayed, because they see themselves and nobody else. it's hollow.

VS + it's partner labels ... getting them reliably + at reasonable cost, due to international shipping prices they charge, is nigh on impossible. other retailers just don't reliably stock, maintain stock, or even sell them. this one is adding to the list of this year's interesting ones from them.

none the wiser. i will be holding off for reviews on it.

arrow's seem to mirror fantomas old releases. 'the jokers' have issued ten in france recently, six of which i know of no other western release for. four are familiar. a lot of 4K restorations by kadokawa, i believe. would be a nice boxset. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah_J...

can you detail the production elements available for each? i'm stuck on how worthwhile UHD will be for fudoh, how we're only getting agitator 200 minutes cut in SD, + i'm also somewhat stuck on how lacklustre miike often looked on DVD, especially two of the three - how will they compare, i wonder?

now do 'city hunter'? i mean, series two (finally) but can't find the others. nothing personal, it's just so much of what's released on the market simply goes OOP and never reprints in new editions to capitalise on new interest down the line. just assumes there is no longer one.

the middle class boomed post WW2, many who grew up in working class families became perceived part of it, and their children firmly within it. the cost of living crisis has gone beyond increasing the struggle for the working class, and has impacted opportunities for those children who expected more.

wowhd has the first sato at £20. if they were consistently stocking VS - and i am increasingly convinced the sub-label nonsense is confusing as f for retailers - and i could also get two others, like 'freeze me' for example, i could get 15% off before the VAT is added on. far cheaper that direct.

how are UK folk sourcing these? shops are all over the place on stocking various partner labels, either having them listed or not, and prices hit 'n' miss. VS + their shops charge an arm + a leg for postage also. still need 'freeze me', 'oldest profession', 'cash calls hell' + both sato so far.

no. their only releases. perplexed as iirc these state 4K restorations. having seen all three now, this set represents three lacklustre versions chosen for which stories they adapt, to maintain a variety. no other explanation i can think of. they're nowhere near the standard of the first set.

... the blacks are all over the place on 'the haunted castle', looked mostly like flickering grey to my eyes. as a very dark film, it was distracting far too often. using an oppo on an LG oled. i hope the others are better films + presentations. this one is poor.
