It's an honest mistake of them to hunt down new sealed laserdiscs unless they aren't spending a lot on them. However I'm pretty sure he said he spent either 80 or 100 dollars on one. Maybe he'll read this website and realize he needs to be careful. I've made the mistake of buying new sealed laserdiscs but got lucky mostly because the one's I probably bought were produced by pioneer. I paid either 70 or 80 bucks for a sealed copy of Demonic Toys in the past. At this time period there were no other Demonic Toys copies. Recently I've seen a couple pop up on Ebay that are open. I would have gotten one of those instead because I know i'ts risky buying sealed.

Well this could probably be the last Japanese laserdisc, or at least an LD bought from Japan, in a long time. Japan Post added Finland to their sh!tlist and now the only delivery options from Japan to Finland are DHL and surface, so the most expensive and the slowest ones - and a lot of online retailers don't even offer both. ...unless, of course, someone points me out to that other CGI box set on buyee again or something which I'd have to ship via DHL anyway.

Elvira has been confirmed to be rot-free. There is no rot! I just inspected and captured the movie. Did not notice any rot. Also this is another weird laserdisc that did not run hot at all and even my capture device didn't run hot capturing this laserdisc. This is strange. I do not know why some laserdiscs run hot and others do not. I did notice a slight scratch on the part of the laserdisc that is not read the inner circle and I was worried that maybe that slight scratch crack would let air in causing rot. It did not though and the only specs I notice was natural noise in the blue sky scenes early in the movie. That is not rot I don't believe and if it is it's there for a whole 10 or 15 seconds but it looked like natural film print noise to me. Also the seller was kind and gave me a free copy of Grumpy Old Men which was also sealed. I guess he or she was also worried that Elvira could have been a rotter. I looked this laserdisc up on ldb and one user said their copy had light rot and another said they had extreme rot critical which means unwatchable. I am lucky I am rot free entirely. I was really paranoid that this was going to be a rotter because I believe it's the same company that manufactured The Blob 1988 and they manufactured these two laserdiscs around the same time so I thought I was going to be in trouble. With that said there is slight stickiness around the disc which I don't know if that's an indication that in the future this could rot because could that be the cheap glue they used or is that something else?

After a long break, got some new discs, and I'm not sure I needed to get any of them. Oh well, at least they were cheap. Blade Runner was around $2.50 and Star Wars about $15, making it probably the cheapest SW LD I've ever seen, the old full frame releases included.

Need to sit and watch it if its streaming again, I'm not a super fan of how Jude Law was acting in that film, too fake naive for me. I read you re : Jude Law. In his defense, very early in his career. Wasn't GATTICA his first film a tad before existence? I know he appeared quite young in those films early on ......
