So that explains why I saw zero promotion for it, probably what it deserves.

Shocked to learn the Electric State was even this year, that feels like it came out eons ago but also I barely heard anything about it

I saw this way before the original, and it was probably only my first or second Tony Scott film. So while I can see its flaws especially compared to how great the original is, I have a real soft spot for this movie.

I wonder if it includes School on Fire and that maybe a 'complete' version might be able to get an official release someday, one of my favourites

... 88/Eureka might do some upgraded editions way down the line. I'm happy to wait for these now I know they're coming.

Given the fact they must've splashed out on these I feel like they're more likely to keep them in print/as accessible as possible to make enough money back. And now that they're at least 'out there' maybe long after Shout have put out their not-so-good releases...

E.g. I know some of the early Cinema City films like All the Wrong Clues/Spies will be incl. and I'm just as excited for those as I am the John Woo

Likewise even if most are dumped into a bare bones package together, I'm enough of a fan that all 156 titles are worth getting (eventually) provided prices aren't too high.

Just glad someone was able to buy the rights at all, thought it might never happen

Not overly familiar with Shout as I'm UK and only own one of the bare bones Sonny Chiba sets but fingers crossed they license them out to 88 or Eureka for region B, then there's at least an alternative that should hopefully be better handled.

I immediately went and bought the dvd after seeing this during your mind melter stream. I've been meaning to rewatch it soon actually, this is a good reminder.

The best thing he ever did was that end credits song for Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey with all the dialogue samples imo (from what I've heard)

I'm not an alcoholic I just love Italian giallo movies!

Ah that's a reasoning I hadn't thought of before that I guess fuels some of this, being able to put "10k new followers in one week" or whatever on their CV might even help tech-y marketer types get some work lol

Such an insane take. It's like the accounts on letterboxd that follow thousands and end up getting thousands of followers back, why would I even want to trash my feed like that to begin with and never see reviews from the people I want to see... just for more meaningless likes on social media?

This is the copy of Chungking Express that my library has; got to experience this film for the first time the way it was intended for Western man, with the Tarantino intro and talk after the film. I shall have to find out if they have anymore of these.

Saw this for the first time very recently. Wonderful movie, loved the polar bear and big robot especially!

I'm guessing there's no Local Legends 2: Bloodbath on there?
