Vinegar Syndrome and Their Partner Labels

[mfunk9786]

I admire the design aesthetics of the case, but between the DVD height/overall heft, lousy looking paintings they use for the covers, and difficulty of reading the booklet, they're more of a nuisance than a success.

I was going to say I have never sprung for VS’s limited editions because the slipcases for the ones I wanted were terrible.

Some new partner label releases of note:
Blackberry (which is selling very quickly)
Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn
Petite Solange

Also:
BoxCar Bertha 4K (Cinématographe)

[swo17]

Also Shanghai Blues from Film Movement. Are we expecting any other label to put this out soon?

[therewillbeblus]

Came here to post exactly that - also the Jude getting a blu-ray release is huge even if it comes barebones

[ryannichols7]

still contemplating whether Shanghai Blues or Bad Luck Banging are coming from UK labels soon or not. I know Radiance tried for the latter, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Eureka release the former. in all, some cool announcements for sure

[domino harvey]

Their print runs are bizarre. 1000 copies only for the Jude? That’s going to sell out within a day

[therewillbeblus]

But they almost always restock standard editions.. unless this is a case where they won't. I never know the deal there

[domino harvey]

There’s a standard edition listed already for it

[swo17]

Blackberry (which is selling very quickly)

LE has already sold out

[therewillbeblus]

I think only the LE is limited to 1000 units, and the standard edition will be restocked once it runs out/available on retail sites

Body of Evidence if you want to watch Madonna stand around and blink a lot. (I sort of like this movie.)

[Finch]

Nice to know that there is going to be an English friendly edition of Shanghai Blues but surely someone in the UK will cover it too.

[CSM126]

40th Anniversary 4K of RAD coming later this year. I guess this one will be super-duper deluxe.

[luxta]

Looks like Badge 373 is coming from CIN.

[Derek Estes]

Considering cinématographe have released underseen indies like Female Perversions and The Woman Chaser, I’d love to see them released Cory McAbee’s The American Astronaut.

From Mifunefan on Blu-ray.com:

Like I've done some other months, I just want to confirm some of your guesses.. CIN-031 will be Badge 373

[Peacock]

Radley Metzger's The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann supposedly will be coming from the Mélusine mainline later this year, which I assume means it'll be 4K.

[MichaelB]

A racing certainty, I’d have thought, and excellent news, as that’s always been one of my favourite Metzgers. It’s one of the best examples of a film that’s simultaneously trying to deliver what its audience was primarily expecting while still being witty and self-aware enough to have genuine fun with the form, at a time before the more artistically ambitious porn practitioners became jaded.

I’m thinking particularly of the woman who wanders in and out of scenes with a clipboard asking various probing questions, and when challenged later on she says that she was put in the film in order to add a sociological dimension, which I suspect was a conscious bit of mockery of Roger Corman’s very successful method of appealing to grindhouse and college audiences simultaneously.

When I wrote it up in the early 2010s, I remember saying something to the effect that it has a really remarkable number of unexpected eleventh-hour plot twists, given that most porn films don’t even bother with one.

Turns out it may not be Badge 373. From User MovieBuff647:

Looks like it may be THE OUTFIT actually! https://www.instagram.com/p/DVREjVajbtb/

Mifunefan responded with this:

Oh wow, this is an interesting situation. So, I don't want to reveal how I found out about Badge 373, but I'm pretty sure it's coming too. But not CIN-031 though it seems, unless they're somehow doing a Duvall Double-feature

[Forrest Taft]

Yes please, love THE OUTFIT. Walter Hill, a good friend of writer/director John Flynn, actually did some uncredited work on the script.

[domino harvey]

Do they have a WB deal?

[jt938]

Do they have a WB deal?

Yes, Vinegar Syndrome confirmed they have a WB deal but some new comments have confirmed that it is more than likely Badge 373 so I apologize for causing some confusion.

Spoiler

[dwk]

They have a deal for around 40 Warner Brothers titles. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is the first one they've released.
