Awesome pickups Jeff! That Rocky set looks pretty solid 🤓👍 along with that Hitcher release. Thanks for sharing my dude! "He's not a machine, HE'S A MAN!"
“Hit the one in the middle”😂😂 Rocky IV has amazing quotes that’s for sure lol. Cheers for the kind word as always Larry, appreciate it buddy. That Hitcher set might just be my favorite physical media release of the year when it comes down to it to be fair. Absolutely fantastic release. 😎💪💪
I've been tempted with the Rocky collection myself, but I'm a bit pissed they didn't include the extras from the blu ray set. Rocky alone had a wealth of special features, and to not include them in the set, or even a retrospective documentary, is criminal. One I might have to get when it's much cheaper.
Yeah I’ll never understand why the Rocky films are always lacking when it comes to bonus material. There are so many behind the scenes stuff on all films out there and even here on UA-cam but they never include it on any release. Yeah the blu ray set had a lot of stuff on the first Rocky & on Balboa but they’ve never included anything for Rocky II-V which is criminal. And the only new thing they’ve included recently with these 4K’s is the documentary on the making of the IV Director’s cut which is free to watch on UA-cam anyway and here’s something that’s even funnier about that; the UA-cam version of that documentary is like 30 minutes longer!😂😂😂 Absolute joke, Warner Bros should be ashamed of themselves. However…. The movies themselves which in the end is what matters most to me are now finally all watchable on 4K with really great to excellent transfers, so at least that’s good now lol.
Nice pickups Jeff! The past few months I haven't got a lot of new stuff, awesome Rocky gear and 4k set, I have the "Rocky Undisputed Collection" on Bluray, eventually when they sort these 4k's out I'll pick it up! The hat looks good on you man, seriously it fits well, it's hard for me to find a hat that fits well Take care! Keep punchin
Thanks Mike, yeah i still own the undisputed blu ray collection as well myself. Can never have enough copies of the Rocky films lol. This new set is finally how the films should be, no audio or image issues this time around. Lol thanks man the hat I’ve been wearing for a few years now and it still holds up strong. It’s definitely a hat made to last that’s for sure. As soon as i saw it on the Stallone shop a few years back i just had to have it. Keep punching my friend!💪💪
Love House by the Cemetery, more of a demented haunted house flick than a zombie movie but still awesome. Tenebrae is a classic too, love that Goblin score. Never seen Torso, will have to track it down.
Oh man i thoroughly enjoyed House by the cemetery a lot, definitely didn’t disappoint. Tenebrae is definitely one of my favourite Argento films and your absolutely right about the score it’s pretty amazing . Can never go wrong with some Goblin. Torso is a very good giallo & proto slasher film, definitely recommend it. 😎👍
I'm quite disappointed in those BU Fulci restorations, the dangerous 'forbidden' grindhouse charm is gone they're supposed to be gritty and grimy looking not like dopey palette productions from last year, know what I mean. Like this, I even prefer my old DVDs or earlier Arrow Blu-ray of it. 🥴
Cool update as usual Jeff, some excellent pickups there. Purchases have been light for me as well due partly to my gallbladder surgery in late July and saving up for my own 4K player, but I'm slowly chipping away at my wish list. Torso is a Giallo I still need to check out, have heard quite a few good things about it. Not sure if I'll get the 4K edition, but eventually it'll make it into my collection. I enjoy Fulci's Thrillers more than his Horror films, but I did quite like his 1981 film The Black Cat, not too gory and bloody. I get the appeal of the dream like quality of his Horrors though; it does add that quirky surrealness to it all. Dario Argento kind of came off as pompous when I saw an interview of his years back, but now I'm kinda curious to check out his stuff. I've had the Animal Trilogy on Blu Ray for a while I still need to see. I've seen clips of Tenebre on UA-cam, and it has some interesting stuff, but I can't fully get into it. Mario Bava is perfect for 4K, his use of colors and cinematography is like looking at paintings, perfect for the format. I've got the Blu Ray steelbook of Blood & Black Lace, but I may upgrade to 4K as it'll compliment the set of Planet of the Vampires Donny helped me out in getting. That's a real shame with Warner Bros. buddy, that's definitely not how you treat customers. I had a similar case with Kino Lorber of the lack of French audio for Farewell Friend with Charles Bronson and Alain Delon. I won't go into detail as I'd go on a tangent if I did, but I won't support Kino for the foreseeable future. That director's cut of Rocky IV sounds pretty interesting, may have to revisit the adventures of Philly's Italian Stallion soon. Take care buddy, hope you're well, and speak to you soon.
Hi Stephen, good to hear from you as usual. Torso is a really good Giallo although i do prefer “Strange vice of Mrs. Wardh” from Martino myself but a large part of that is due to Edwige Fenech to be honest lol . Fulci’s best film for me is still Don’t torture a duckling but i do love his horror work as well especially Zombie flesh eaters in particular. Argento is a great filmmaker and his Giallo’s are number one for me, especially Bird with the crystal plumage that one still stands as my favorite. Yeah Blood and black lace looks stunning on 4K due to the great use of colors. Definitely a winner. Yeah I’m pretty much done with Warner Bros when it comes to any future releases they’ll do for Rocky. I’ll only buy it second hand so they won’t get my money anymore. The director’s cut of Rocky IV is truly amazing, the whole tone of the film is changed and it fits in way more with the others now. Take care buddy, speak soon! 😎👍
thanks I always look forward too your updates
Very kind of you, glad to hear it. I appreciate that! 😎👍
Nice to see pop up in Gareth’s live stream just a moment ago, really enjoying your channel.
Cheers Dave, appreciate hearing that! 😎💪💪

Same with Cannibal Holocaust, felt much more grindhouse as a ropey old fuzzy video than a pristine restoration. Takes away its charm.
