Have you ever heard an alien type sound? 🧐 Well I finally found out what sounded like an alien and their spaceship from the last couple of days 😂 The invasion is HERE 😱 The much-anticipated moment — 17 years in the making — is upon us. The Brood X cicadas are erupting en masse across across our state like stovetop popcorn. Their emergence kicked off in Tennessee and Georgia about two weeks ago, but has been delayed in the Midwest as colder temperatures hit the region at the beginning of May. But this week's spring rain followed by warm temperatures was like an alarm clock buzzer to rise up, e…

Hi Psychos, I'm very upset with myself as I can not find 4 of my exclusives & here is a pic to remind me I am NOT going crazy... (Maybe senile though 👴) WCL: Gilda MLIFE: Get Shorty, Sense and Sensibility Diskino: Wrath of Silence ... I've look in every nook & cranny (I did find the GKOTM though!) & for the life of me I do not know where they are ! Has any other Psycho done the same?

I’ve asked this question periodically and hardly ever get any recommendations from the peeps on here, I usually just get this reaction... It would be nice to get some when asked though! 😏 I think I’ll need to get my recommendations from that ‘other’ forum, they almost always get back to me on at least some films I’m asking about that either I own or can watch on my Prime Video, Oy Vey! 😒🙄

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this discussion, but has anyone heard of the incredibly and surprisingly enjoyable “Shadow in the Cloud” flick getting a steelbook release? Right now, I see it has a media book only, but man does it also deserve a steelbook. This film really surprised and impressed me. I feel it’s almost one of the best popcorn flicks in recent years. What are your thoughts? I really hope we see a steelbook or even a full slip for this enjoyable piece of cinema.

Preordered SNATCH from FNAC and added the Mondo Avengers to lessen shipping costs...well, FNAC sent Avengers on its own, and DHL slapped me with a $21🇨🇦 handling fee. Those guys are CROOKS! They'll probably do it again when SNATCH ships. Sorry FNAC, but NEVER AGAIN!

Hey all, I've recently bought a bunch of movies from Nova Media but they are being held in US customs and I've been told I need to get a letter of authorization from blu-ray and DTS in order for customs to release the movies. I've contacted Nova Media but they don't seem to have the appropriate paperwork. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and if so how did you deal with it? If I can't provide US customs with the paperwork they need they say everything will be destroyed as if it's counterfeit merchandise. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks pyschos, Greg

Read through the group buy topics and I may have missed it. I apologize if I did. However, after you make payment how long is it before the item is actually shipped? Why is Priority mail not an option and is that something that is being discussed as a future option for those in the states?

I've recently joined the core of 'Purely Region Free' this Christmas with a new Sony player I got myself. Mainly for the fact that 101 Films issued a great release of the movie Phase IV, which seems like a 'anglophile' version of Carlotta Film's collectable version of Phase IV. But then I see Carlotta has a nice edition of my FAVE movie 'Network' - so I 'had to' get that! So I've recently been on a hunt via British/Australian/French etc. to get movies I really like and are superior to NA releases (if they even exist?) Yet, I still keep an eye here to see what the real 'high end' boutiques are coming out with. But curious who here has a 'true appreciation' vs. design, pack…

Hi everybody! I'm new here and chances are high I'm going to put my foot in my mouth or post in the wrong section, or against the fight club rules or something. I've been buying steelbooks for years but not really collecting them. I collect nice releases. Sometimes it's steelbooks, sometimes digipacks, sometimes it's Westworld and they can't decide how to have a uniform package. Then in the later part of this year I learned about premium steelbooks and a few other details about this collector’s world (and immediately became broke). However, for me it's never enough to join in some group, I need to understand its inner workings. It's history. I have some q…

I just had to give my 2-cents here!🤨 I love that this is an international forum, however I’ve always wondered why peeps only stay in their particular lane (i.e. their own language “room”, area)?🤔

Recently caught the trailer to the movie Border, and it looks intriguing. Going on Amazon, there's only a BD version of it and of course streaming. I'm still of the ilk if something looks good, whether new or old, I'll pick up the DVD to check it out. If it's okay, I keep the DVD and add it to my collection. If it sucks, I take it to the 2nd store and get some money from it for something else. If it's awesome, and the BD or Premium offers a lot more in the way of quality and extras, I'll sell off the DVD and go BIG! But I really hate the fact that many companies now don't bother with DVD at all. And for what I can see, Blu-Rays are just a gouge to jack up prices over 100%…

I’m so fed up with the constant barrage of ‘news’ and hype around this virus. Questions should be asked why we are spending so much time and money on ‘The Flu’. That’s all it is for most people that catch it ! How many people die each day in places like Africa, from starvation and Malaria ? Yet here we are spending billions worldwide, on ‘Flu’ Totally panicked over a few deaths ! It’s OK for millions to die in Africa, but we can’t have people getting flu for a few days ! Get a fu..ing grip !

I’m starting to have a hard time enjoying (for the most part, although I’ll always visit “whatever” when I can LOL) threads of all kinds when the peeps are either what I call in “cliques, nationalists or the like”, and they ONLY tap the “like, thanks or laugh” for the peeps they follow &/or the thread/“Room” that they never get out of (they do not even try to visit other threads in this fantastic forum ... C’mon Man!, come on get in here & get to know your fellow members & communicate w/them, it is a lot of fun IMHO)!🙂 However they do not tap those that would generally be an obviously one to do 🤔... IDK, maybe it’s just me... over!😙 Th…

In Germany we habe a huge dubbing culture and most voice actors are good although things always get lost in translation, not their fault of course. A trend that started a longer time ago but got more frequent right now however is: hiring celebs, influencer or youtube "stars" for dubbing! I get that they sometimes do it to get their fans to watch the movie, I really do...but it's frigging jarring hearing those obvoius amateurs together with trained voice actors who got into the profession as children and do this for their whole life. It wouldn't even be so bad if they just get minor roles, say they two sentences and that's it BUT THE FRIGGIN MAIN CHARACTER…

So I'm kinda a tadpole compared to some of you collectors here. I enjoy my rare offbeat movies I can track down on KIMCHI and such (Snowpiercer, Irreversible, Her, Ernest & Celestine to name a few) And I have them displayed in a antique credenza with a vertical glass door display shelves on the side. I've stood and arranged them all to be proudly arranged and visible, and I admire them every time I pass by. I see many items now for collectors ranging from slipcases to display stands and so on. The latest I saw was Vinegar Syndrome shelf divider cards. For me, I keep any little baggy sent with my orders and put the release on top of them in my display case. But I am in…

I really do not get why they have DST (we change our clocks back 1 hr.) here in the middle of America soooo early (I’m in the EST zone)! 🤨 It is already getting dark at 6PM... come on it should be 7PM! 🌚 What bozos that set this up for the time to go back 1hr. So early in the autumn, need to re-evaluate DST! 😑 Rant on my friends...

Hi I'm one of the new guys on the forum, but a veteran in collecting films. I started back in 2000, collected special/limited/collector's DVDs and then moved to blu ray. Sorry if I offend anyone.... I've always bought films to watch them, I also take pride in my home cinema. So getting films in best picture and audio quality is as much the reason, that I buy physical media. So I don't get when many don't unseal their films????? The beautiful coverart and texture is covered up by shrink wrap?! With stickers and rating marks on? You don't get to unbox, and look at all the extra goodies inside? And you don't get to enjoy the film in high q…

Could just be a UK thing I doupt it ? . https://giphy.com/gifs/fusion-VkiYBeM1fxujC The Pot Hole walking , cycling, driving the effort it takes to avoid the flipping things. Patch them after a winter things are fine over the warmer months . This leads to endless road works and local council workers shirtless?? topping up on thire Tans before thire holidays. Then they return with colder times twice the size twice the depth. A total out and out BANE of any type of road .

I've tried unsuccessfully to get an undamaged copy of US GitS SB 3 times now. The 1st 2 were dented beneath the J-card direct from BB. The 3rd I received opened yesterday from E-bay with multiple dings that weren't disclosed/shown in photos. I was hoping to Frankenstein it and switch out the back plate, but the used one may be worse than what I started with. I give up!
