Been picking up some really cheap DVDs to fill in the collection of older films. W.C. Fields and Laurel & Hardey. Fun stuff but no LDs, looking for some LDs but always sad when they are triple the price for a common title on DVD and even more common on Bluray

SO not worth it in many cases. I just need to find a sucker collector to buy my Meet Joe Black. I'd trade it as well actually.

Recently spun my LD copy of "Pass the Ammo," such an odd yet very funny take on corrupt southern evangelists getting hijacked on national TV. UJ

Higher Learning (1994) [73396]only because of Jennifer. It was stupid since people seemed to get away with s**t on campus. I mean there is constantly violence but no one seems to be thrown out or anyone seems to care about stopping it. Where are the faculty at this school?? Laurence Fishburn is the only one in the movie and he doesn't do anything but be philosophical. idiots.

The first one was a masterpiece and evoked the book really well. But bloodlust for various reasons like voice acting, style and substance and lack of the feel of the books it was based on, seems like it should never had been made. I recently rewatched Vampire Hunter D for the first time since probably the mid 90s. It was a great US Blu-ray from somebody. To be honest I’d never want a sequel. To me the main attraction of the thing is to see the cool stuff and the cool people who made the novels and the illustrations be able to bring that stuff to life with the can-do vibe of 80s otaku. Something made 15 years later with gaijin money, originally recorded in English even, just isn’t the same thing. It’s way way another thing. I could be anything. It could be way way better, it just can’t do the thing an 80s OVA does. It wasn’t made by hand. Whalers on the Moon as far as I’m concerned.

I agree that a lot of the charm of the original is just the cool factor. As a movie it's not particularly amazing.

The Black Hole is on BD now but afaik it's missing the intro/music bit. I don't know why. Apparently there's a streamed version that does have the music but just a black screen. I can't confirm this info myself...yet.

I have not seen one of these Black Hole LDs for years but if memory serves me the LD releases were not good. Both were fairly early releases (around 1985-ish??) & I think the US release had a few issues & the Japanese release had a very soft image again if my memory serves me, more details are on the title listings. .

Wouldn't bother buying this film again as I'm happy enough with the DVD. I had the LD once, it was blown out and horrible, never had the JP release. Also I do remember there being a rare version on DVD or some type of misprint or issue when release but I only read that once a long time ago, even longer than starwars.
