For the record, I do not have an Amazon Affiliate account. Have never received compensation of any kind. (Not a bad idea though, considering all the time that's been spent plugging away!)
The main reason for posting links is to help boost sales, because I believe in what these companies are laying down.
But back to the topic at hand.... no CR reissue for PRIMAL RAGE, as I'm pretty sure the rights lapsed. Interestingly though, heard that Netflix UK is/was streaming the film in widescreen. Can anyone on that side of the pond confirm?

Yeah - this is all academic for me. I know where to look for CR stuff so I'm fine.

I could care less about the host bits on both Code Red and Scorpion discs, I have zero interest in them and skip 'em completely when watching. If it helps them sell a few more though, go for it. I do think Bill does himself no favors by not at least sending out promotional emails as Ian mentioned. I feel pretty confident in also saying he would probably sell a few more if he was carried at say, Diabolik. I don't mind ordering direct from him and it's very fast and easy, but it stands to reason he'd move more inventory if it was available at some etailers.
As for PRIMAL RAGE, own it and glad I saw it but it wasn't all that memorable imo.

I've seen some pre-release review at Mondo Digital so he probably send screeners sometimes, but I think it was only two times. The other being after release, but Bill put the titles in his store when he get them from the company who make his dvd and from what I understand they aren't fast. That explain why we don't really see pre-release review, not that it changes anything for me since I blind buy anyway.

I think Scorpion's business model is pretty sound. And Katarina is a very good host - she actually often gives some interesting background info about the films. And I've even read future release news for the label on a big site like bluray.com so the word is getting out.
With CR if you don't know exactly where to look (big cartel direct link/Latarnia) it's almost impossible to find out what's coming out. Which is a shame because Bill has some great titles like MAD BOMBER that deserve strong sales.

Originally posted by Scorpion View PostI am also sorry to hear you think Katarina is a "no name" host, she does have a fan base, maybe 1/3rd of Maria, but she does. And if it means anything, I am slowly doing away the banner anyways, so I can start having either alternate art or collection of stills and posters for the reverse, with her pic just being one photo near the special features on the back of the sleeve, for as I mentioned earlier, this "branding" was to get my label recognized once again to the cult fans, and also to have a separate "division" so I can continue to license more commerical fare. It worked, and now I am at a point where the banner is no longer really necessary.

Hope that doesn't mean she won't be part of your label releases anymore, I like the works she does on your DVD (and I love her accent)... For me an host is a plus, this isn't like she (or Maria) are interupting the movies like the clueless guys from MSTK do.

At least for the US, because the actual store is fine for us foreigner...

I am one man, and I do email blasts to all the key web sites and magazines (about 20 of them) for all my press releases.
As well as send screeners to key sites where their reviews can be linked to sites like DVDBasen for example so people can find them (I send some screeners awhile to this site, did it not get to Ian?)
Titles like MAD BOMBER (he should have released it as that) screeners and press info should have been sent to key sites, since it isn't a horror film, it woun't get the same coverage/word of mouth IMHO. Places like DVDTalk or CinemaRetro are good places for this title. Titles like TEEN LUST, DANDY, CLASS OF 74, sites like Mr Skin or DVDDrive-in certainly could have done a good job with spreading the word on this release.
This might suprise him, but not evryone who are looking for these titles, checks message boards and googles and locates and finds his web site to buy it directly from him. Selling it at etailers is still a must. Many "casual" buyers sitll shop at places like Amazon or DeepDiscount religiously. Or work out something to the reviewers to link directly to his site so the consumers can find it. .
I am also sorry to hear you think Katarina is a "no name" host, she does have a fan base, maybe 1/3rd of Maria, but she does.

Anyway, just my two cents.Last edited by Scorpion; 05-27-2013, 02:25 AM.

Show me all those threads I have poluted according to you and show me all those quotes. I highly doubt you will find anything, I think I would have been warned if that was the case...
I ain't the one who did post off-topic non-sense in that thread
Good luck :up:Last edited by Jimmy Simard; 05-26-2013, 10:23 PM.

This is one of the Code Red discs I wanted to pick up but which went OOP too quickly for me to acquire it.
