Not to you..but to them.
I don't doubt the work that Arrow puts into there releases but don't be as presumptious as to assume that Scream Factory just haphazardly slaps out there stuff either cause thats BS. I am sure nothing is handed to either company.
As for Arrows so-called focus on Euro-horror, I wish they did that but last time I checked Troma and Christmas Evil are not Euro-Horror.
Everything you say is true about the earlier Arrow releases but not now. I am a big fan of the earlier Arrow releases.
Its all about opinion and perspective. If Toxic Avenger and Tromeo and Juilette are two of there next big releases than both you and I should have a problem because neither is the focus on Euro-horror or hard to get films that you just became so excited about.
Right now Scream Factory has been putting out suff thats been on my wish list for years, and before that Shout did the same, and so did Arrow. I'm not a blind follower though if something seems bad I'm gonna say it.
Don't doubt my validity on the site because I'm not in love with the product at the moment. The right release could have me touting Arrow again, which is what I wish I could do. the more companies putting out superior product the more choices I have and the more my collection of dvds grow.
Try not to take it so personally. Chill out, I have nothing against you but I kinda think I'm rubbing you the wrong way and its not intended. I'm always going to give my honest opinion. |
Hey, I'm not taking it personally, I actually really enjoy your input to the site. I'm also aware that my writing can be confrontational when I feel strongly about something, but it's not personal either - just a strong opinion, same as you.
Look, having talked to numerous people and researching over time I understand how it works with companies like Scream! Factory. Basically, they approach, say, Universal with a view to licensing titles. Universal will then respond with a list of suggested titles that have HD masters ready but they aren't intending releasing in the near future. Scream! Factory will look over the list, do research, and then respond saying what titles they're interested in. Twilight Time have the same set up with Sony and Fox - they don't dictate what they want, they simply choose from what they're offered.
Now, with all that in mind, it's good that Scream! Factory are releasing these titles, because otherwise they'd probably remain unreleased in HD. So that's a plus in my book. And they don't produce limited runs like TT either. Another plus.
Look, I'm not knocking Scream! Factory, just stating that their business model is far less complex than Arrow's. Do you really think that if Scream! Factory had to prepare their own HD masters they could afford to do that with every title, being a niche label? I think not.
