Gandybar

I am Gandybar and I am excited to be a part of this community. I am from Oklahoma in a little tiny town in the middle of nowhere. Here on the prairie, we don't have a lot of movie theaters or even particularly stable internet. When I met my now wife, we got into movie collecting almost out of necessity. We both loved movies and we couldn't really get to the theaters all that often, so we just started hoarding blu-rays. As I started getting more and more into collecting, I joined various communities on Reddit. That is how I found out that this place existed. I thought it looked like a good bunch of folks, so I joined. My avatar is Cooper from Twin Peaks, I got my wife the Twin Peaks Z to A box set last Christmas, and so we are totally obsessed with it right now. I recently started a Letterboxd to help track my movie-watching habit, and that is going well. If you want a Letterboxd pal, I am Gandybars. Right now I am working on watching a movie from every year and a movie from every country by the end of the year. I am super excited to hang out with everyone, and I hope yall have a wonderful evening.

I figured my first ever post here should be my weekly mail haul. It was a good week. The Wicker Man set from Imprint is probably the one I am the most excited about. It is my favorite horror movie of all time, and I was beyond stoked it got a box set release. The Forest Collection and Twenty Nine Palms were both blind buys simply because I love the distributors. The Forest Collection was released by Error 4444. Error 4444 specializes in Japanese releases, and they have only released one other movie, Anatomia Extinction. If you are a fan of movies like Tetsuo or Tokyo Gore Police, Anatomia Extinction will be right up your alley. As a matter of fact, it is the "prequel" to Tokyo Gore Police. Because the quality of that release was so high, I figured I should continue to build my Error 4444 collection with their sophomore release. Twenty Nine Palms was a Fractured Visions release, and they are an amazing distributor as well. I discovered Luz: The Flower of Evil because of their release and that movie was amazing. I can't really say anything about Twenty Nine Palms other than I am excited to watch it this weekend. And finally, we have Criterion's release of Portrait of a Lady on Fire. This movie is generally considered to be one of the modern classics, and I am excited to give it a watch this weekend as well. If I find a good sale, I usually don't hesitate to pick up a Criterion or two or twenty-three. When I get the living room cleaned up, I'll share the full collection. But unfortunately, only the kitchen table was photo-worthy right now.

Hi, my wife and I are avid physical media collectors and I came across a reddit comment that mentioned this forum. I am always looking for other people who share in my hobby. I am super excited to get to know everyone
