Distribpix / Video-X-Pix Updates

4K is the future, that being said I still buy DVD's, and I don't have a 4K TV yet, but plan to get one soon. I will still buy DVD's and blu rays even with a 4K TV, if a movie I like is only on DVD, I'm not going to deny myself watching it because it's not on 4K, that'd be stupid to not watch a movie just because it's not on the newest format. But I don't like streaming and will never do it, it's too much trouble I tried it out, and di not like it at all. And if the movie world goes all streaming, I will probably not watch many movies, I'll just watch what's on regular TV. The problem with streaming is you have to subscribe to each movie company to get the films you want, and you end up with subscriptions all over the place costing way more than cable TV. And my internet has been sold to a new conglomerate or whatever you want to call it, and is about to implement bandwidth caps, so yeah streaming is not even an option for me anymore.

Whatever happened to the alleged first Blu-ray from Distribpix Little oral Annie. I cant remember why that never came to fruition. I just stumbled upon the hd screengrabs on the Distribpix blog from 2010 and they look great.

I bought the download awhile back and it looks fantastic! Don't know why the release never happened. If they ever do release it on Blu-ray I will definitely double dip.

There were a lot of promised Blu-rays that haven't shown from them. S.O.S. was another.

Not releasing Through the Looking Glass is the one that disappointed me the most!

I also remember reading in an article/interview that they had scanned and restored Angela the Fireworks Woman... another HUGE disappointment!

It seems to me that both titles would sell like hotcakes!

It seems really mysterious that between 2010 and 2018, we know that there have been various restorations on various projects at Distribpix. Some of them have been touted for either blu or dvd or both, and yet only 2 (if we don't count the Command cinema releases) blu-rays and a small handful of dvds have seen the light of day. We know that Through the looking glass went missing, or so was communicated some time ago, but what are the reasons behind the others? Steve seemed realty optimistic about these projects and publicly. I cant imagine it necessarily being the decline in physical media sales as VS are doing alright for themselves with their adult titles. I would love to know the reason.

Distribpix has a goldmine of films, I too wish they released more blu-rays. They have gone quiet though.

I don't know, remember all the great boutique labels we use to have? All gone except for Severin. BU and MM are still around but comparatively quiet these days.

I believe VS uses the horror and exploitation titles to keep themselves afloat. I've seen some VS fans on FB assume that VS uses the adult titles to just make money but from his interview on Porn Cultures podcast it is clear Joe Rubin's heart is in the gutter with the rest of us.

interview on Porn Studies it is clear Joe Rubin's heart is in the gutter with the rest of us.

Do you have a link? Searching 'Porn Studies', I get an academic publication.

Here's an early interview I found:

Sorry, it's actually Porn Cultures, a podcast, that episode is available here but all the episodes are pretty good.

In the absence of any of these getting restorations, I'm thinking about picking up a couple of older video-x-pix titles, namely "Delicious" with Veronica Hart and "Female athletes" with Annette Haven. My question is are these at least good in their presentations. I've put off buying so many of the Distribpix catalogue namely due to the fact that so many of the Vs and new Distribpix restorations look so good, that anything else would put me off watching now.

I have a copy of Female Athletics somewhere. If I remember correctly, like most of the earlier Distribpix DVDs, it's taken from an analogue source and probably watermarked during the sex scenes - but watchable.

I checked out the screencaps on adultdvdempire and for an older release don't look too bad. I'm tempted. But saying that I revisited VCX remastered release of Desiree Cousteau's Deep Rub last night and couldn't get passed the first 10 minutes due to it looking subpar.

Not really an update per se, but amusing none the less.

Last year I went to an annual conference for professional body piercers and, knowing that Annie Sprinkle would be attending/speaking, packed my copy of DEEP INSIDE ANNIE SPRINKLE for her to sign. She was an absolute delight, was tickled that I'd included an article about her in my latest zine, and then sent a wonderful followup email that made me fanboy so hard I practically levitated.
