Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

Closed Film and TV threads

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"The Wild Bunch" has come out on DVD and thoughts turn, somehow, to Corwood Industries.

Given that it's a re-release, I suspect Corwood's even more excited about the other Peckinpah westerns coming out at the same time (most for the first time on DVD, I think).

I AM! In fact, Ride the High Country is the greatest Western that is not The Wild Bunch, and it's about damn time it came out on DVD. I ordered mine last week.

Amen.

Also, I can only assume that this is a better version of PAT GARRETT than has been available prior aka not the smiling cobra's version (and looking forward to CABLE HOGUE as well).

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I have high hopes for both. I have a lousy VHS copy of the laserdisc version of Pat Garrett (with the framing device of Garrett as an old man being shot at the the beginning and end), and it makes a lot more sense than the version that TCM was running for a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can anyone think of recent genre movies that featured zombies, ghosts and just about any characters who are kinda sorta life-challenged?

Shaun of the Dead -- is that recent enough?

Are vampires life challenged? You have Blade 3 and Underworld most recently--but how recent is recent?

Definitely!

I'm willing to go back 8-10 years if necessary. I'm going to be on a panel called Good Dead Vs. Evil Dead which will talk about Recent Advances in Zombies, or well, how films like Sixth Sense and shows like Angel and Now & Again and Dead Like Me are treating the life-challenged these days....

Theo, if you haven't seen it, you MUST rent Idle Hands. It looks like an unfuckingbelievably stupid movie, and in some ways it is, but zombie stoners are the main characters, and it's actually REALLY funny. Plus -- Seth Green!
