Why the fuck is Hellraiser III not on Blu-ray here in the US yet? Paramount recently re-released it on DVD and it's been said that Arrow is working on their own edition of it. But damn! It shouldn't take this long. All the crappy sequels got a Blu-ray release, yet not Hellraiser III? It did get a Blu-Ray release via a limited set from Arrow. But the aspect ratio is all screwed up. Just import the German trilogy set from Turbine, best release of III. A lot of the US DVDs of III are also in Fullscreen cropped.

Still, Arrow released the first two seprately, but don't see a single release for Hellraiser III from them. But like you said, Arrow fuck'd and probably feel too embarrassed to release it in a single edition. Or maybe there already is one and I'm just not seeing it.

Probably rights issues with Miramax at the time prevented a separate release for it.

British label 88Films have apparently hired Bey Logan to do extras for them. Bey Logan has been repeatedly been accused of sexual abuses and bully by numours actors and models during his time working in the Hong Kong film industry. He pretty much admitted to it, after the site HK101 broke the story. I've looked it up and the stuff he's done is horrendous. Like how he didn't get changed by the police for it, is mind boggling. I love what 88 Films are doing, they've been working so hard to make sure as much of Hong Kong cinema survives, by putting out great releases after release. But, I don't know if I can give my money to a company that is selling to hire a sexual predator. Looks like they fired him: https://www.reddit.com/r/boutiquebluray/comments/y3xuh9/88_films_dropping_bey_weinstein_buddy_logan/

Yeah, 88 Films can go fuck themselves. Holy shit. This is why bootlegging exists my friends, so that you don't lying shits like these. Side note, looks like the forum is buddies with them: Because if you watch them, you must clearly side with them!

This whole situation shouldn't have in the first place. It took 88 Films a week and several people who worked with calling them and say that they where not going to work with them again because of this. Their half assed apology ended with an add for future releases.
I know that they've done a fantastic job helping to preserve Hong Kong Cinema before the CCP destroys it. But, the trust and respect is gone. Their name and reputation are sullend. They'll have to work twice as hard now get that back.
As for Blu-ray.com, bam you guys weren't joking about it being a shot shit hole.

Sounds like a load of unecessary drama honestly. But I guess it helps with the boredom.

Well, got my Evil Dead 2 4K from Italy finally. Unfortunately, after trying to play the Blu-Ray disc on my player, seems like I do not have a region free player after all...... That sucks.

Mine's a SONY BDP-S1700. Got her off Amazon two years ago and she works like a dream. So, when it comes to changing the region, I have to press the colour buttons on the remote. It gose like this, the one under the eject button is for setting it for region A, then one next to it is region B and then the third is region C. She plays DVDs straightaway regardless of region.

And you can change it as many times you want? Doesn't lock permanently after a few changes?

Yes, I can change the region as often as I want and she never locks on me. I highly recommend this model.

Yes, Discotek Media have been impressing me lately. They are the only ones here in the west to FINALLY make it fucking possible to collect the complete Lupin III shows and movies now.
