Paris, Texas (WCL Exclusive #42) (Scanavo Blu-ray Fullslip) [China]

[4kiraL]

Well, this is a topic I have been thinking about lately.

 

Lots of People nowadays cannot eat a breakfast without watching youtube or checking their mails or social media. We cannot ride a bus or a train without listening to music. Humanity has been infected by electronics and media, faster than we can adapt. Our brain is wired to look for short term dopamine kicks. When we go to the movies, we cannot enjoy the images themselves anymore for what they are. We need information and progress, fast cuts and action. Movies are not just moving images any more, their scenes act as a stimulus. Movies that once were masterpieces are now considered boring. We resort to netflix shows and netflix movies that are created in a way that enable us to do other activities in the meantime while watching... like checking our phone every few minutes. For me it's youtube, reddit, mediapsychos, ebay, instagram, facebook, tiktok.

 

In the last 20 years we have ruined our attention span and the way movies are made today is just the reflection of this.

 

I cannot say that I am not affected by this digital age. On the contrary, I have a huge problem. I have a media addiction. I hate movies that I used to like. My phone screen is the first thing I see after I wake up and the last thing I see before I go to sleep. The last time I had the attention span to read a whole book was 11 years ago.

 

I think if I am able to detox from this media overflow in the next few weeks, I can lead a happier life again. And enjoy watching movies again.

 

Wish me luck, guys.

The box will be a briefcase with leather. 

This will be an amazing release so hope to get all of your kind support 😚

[ethnosax]

To me, that is quite a jumble of mismatched stuff. Will stick with the Criterions.

Did you want everything to look the same? What's the point in that?

Consistent aesthetic, at least for each movie.

Can you explain this part. Is it 4 slips and two scanavo cases? 6 slips? 

[Veum]

This looks amazing, however do I want it, can’t decide 🤔

 

[atomicblonde]

I want Paris Texas (only, actually) but wondering how much the suitcase will add to both retail cost and shipping cost because of weight. Ugh. Wish they'd sell separately, I just want Paris Texas with that pink slip

There is only one fullslip design per film.

The 2 more designs that follow each fullslip are the exchangeable scanvo sleeves (two-sided printing that you can turn around and change)

Retail price is updated on first post!

 

From the sample I saw, it is quite big. Probably like the newest Spiderman Trilogy by WeET.

I can bring it up to Diskino but the list of releases so far doesn't include this director.

Les Diaboliques and The Wages of Fear are no longer advertised at WCL?

 

[hal56]

@ksosk  its labelled as director approved. Is this refering to the artwork or transfers?
