Without Warning - Ilman varoitusta (tai pelkkä Varoitus) Vaikuttaa mielenkiintoiselta ja näyttelijäkaartikin vakuuttaa. En ole vain ikinä kuullutkaan. Onko helmi? Samojen seppojen Alone in the Dark Shoutin julkaisemana spessuna on juuri katselujonossa. Sekin on edelleen näkemättä, ellen sitten ole sitä joskus pimeällä VHS-aikakaudella nähnyt.
Taattua B-huttua. Ihan koomisen omituinen kulttiklasari. Niitä harvoja, mitä itsekin voin naureskella.
Kyllä tämä on mun muistin syövereihin jäänyt 80-luvun loppupuolelta kun vuokrakassulta tätä katsoi, jotain lentäviä lättyjä tässä taisi olla. Muistaakseni jossain vaiheessä omistinkin tämän vanhana suomikasettina, ehkä.
Juuri näin taisi olla ja mieleen jäänyt että niillä lentävillä lätyillä oli jotkut rouskuhampaat mitä ne auton ikkunaan kiinnittyneenä louskutti. Muuta ei kyllä juuri mieleen jäänyt. 80-luvulla tuli katseltua tonnitolkulla kaikkea vähemmän laadukasta ja tämä ei pärjännyt siinäkään porukassa. Hurjan näköinen kansi oli kyllä.
https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=30271 Missä on UHD, kun sitä oikein kaipaisi? Oi sitä aikaa, kun kävi vuokraamossa VHS-hyllyjä läpi ja löysi katsomattoman Walter Hill ohjauksen.

SD:nä Japanese Directors Cut. Enpä ole tuota koskaan nähnyt, vaikka siitä taisi olla puhetta jo VHS-aikana, että on olemassa leikkaus Japania varten lisätyllä Kitanolla. Ehkä näen sen vihdoin nyt. Siitä ei varmaankaan ole tulossa HD-versiota?
No miksi pitäis täsmentää? Laaja genretys on hyvästä. vaikuttaa ettei julkaista suomiteksteillä vanhoja klassikoita kuten hammeria tai vinegar syndromen leffoja Suomiteksteillä juurikaan.
Jos ryhdyt minulle kiukuttelemaan, niin voit painua samantien mäkeen siitä. Eihän tässä kukaan ole edes ehtinyt muuta väittää, mitä mainitsemaasi positiivisuuteen laajan genrekentän osalta tulee, fyysisistä julkaisuista puhuttaessa. Henkilökohtaisesti jäi jotenkin puolitiehen tuo tiedustelusi asiasta, josta heräsi kysymys; missä määrin kotimaisten julkaisujen kirjoa ylipäätään seuraat, jos ensinkään??
No, ensinnäkään en tiedä mistä seurata kotimaisten julkaisuiden kirjoa. Seuraisin tarkasti, jos tietäisin. Nyt vain etsin lähinnä huuto.netin kautta noita.
Umpipaskan sivustonsa epäkäytännöllisyydestä tätä nykyä jo surullisen kuuluisa cdon sekä mm. Elokuvapalvelu J. Suomalainen tarjoaa tekohengitystä ensihätään. Importeista puhuttaessa on todella luksusta, jos kohdalle osuu suomenkielisen tekstityksen tarjoavia yksilöitä Blue Underground -julkaisujen tapaan à la Maniac ja Maniac Cop 2. Vinegar Syndromen kaltaisen sisällöntuottajan julkaisukatalogista on turha yrittää moisia muodollisuuksia navigoida jatkossakaan. Sama kuin vinkuisi suomenkielistä tekstitystä esim. Unearthed Films -julkaisuihin. Unen näit.
