I love that this thread is misspelled.
I picked up Pathology, because of Milo Ventimiglia on the cover. Pretty good, pretty sick movie, haha. He gets sucked into a group of students who kill dudes for fun and then the rest of them guess how they did it.

BY THE WAY THIS THREAD HAS BEEN GOING STRONG
SINCE '04. I THINK THAT ROCKS !
This week I got:
-the Dario Argento Anchor Bay Collection
It has five of his films. DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK ?,
PHENOMENA, THE CARD PLAYER, TRAUMA and TENEBRE (by the way kamikaze, TENEBRE was not as good as I thought, DEEP RED is much better.)
- CHILD'S PLAY 20th Birthday Edition
- CHILD'S PLAY the franchise collection which includes:
CHILD'S PLAY 2, CHILD'S PLAY 3, BRIDE OF CHUCKY, AND SEED
OF CHUCKY.
- THE GRUDGE extended edition
-Went loking for PUNPKIN HEAD special edition and THE MOTHER OF TEARS but Best Buy doesn't carry them. Why the
heck not ? PUMPKIN HEAD is mainstream, it sells and THE MOTHER OF TEARS was put out by dimension extreme, a company that Best Buy carries everal of their films allready.
I dont mind getting them from amazon but you know... it beats the fun out of going shopping.

According to its website Mother of Tears is sold at Best Buy. Possibly they were out of stock?

I hope so, I may have misinterpreted the store clerk. I'm going tonight to Best Buy to check things out. But I think just because its availabe on Best Buy online dosent mean it will be at the physical stores.

Might want to try it it also has a store pickup option that helps you find the item at a Best Buy that has it in stock...

I got the new BFI release of Salò or The 120 Days of Sodom in the mail yesterday from Amazon UK. Originally I was all excited about the nice new Criterion release however I learned that it was missing 24 seconds of the movie so I bought this one. A negligible difference, probably, but the BFI one was cheaper, more complete, has more extras, and, imo, a much nicer cover. I've only seen this movie once many years ago and I didn't think it was so great, not terrible either, but I've been strangely anxious to have this release ever since I heard about it, even though the first time I watched this movie I felt like I needed a shower afterward...

I have recently seen Salo and must agree that it was not great film but not too bad either. I wonder something though: I have read that the director did not want to make a spectacle, cheap exploitation film but I get the feeling that's what it is, disguised as a serious film. I say this because there are really no main victim characters. They barely establish a relationship between any of them. There goes our sense of hope out the window. Then the evil guys just kill have sex, toy around and do whatever the hell they want. Thats the whole film. And we just watch these perverts have their depraved fun with the youth.
It was an ok film but IMO a more truthful (and more disturbing) social commentary can be seen in KUbrick's
A Clockwork Orange.

I heard in a documentary about Salo that the reason you don't really get into the lives of any of the people being tortured and whatnot is because this causes the viewer to not be able to empathize with the victims which adds to the fact that the movie has a very uncomfortable (iirc) feel to it. I tend to agree but can't really say for sure right now since, unfortunately, I haven't had 2 hours to myself to watch this since I got it. :/
I went into Best Buy this weekend just to pick up Mother of Tears and I wound up walking out with Mother of Tears, Dead Pit (2 DVD SE), Pulse 2, Unearthed, and Lake Dead. The last 2 I just picked up because they were cheap ($5.99). Also, I just received a copy of In a Glass Cage today. This one is supposed to rank up there on the messed up scale with Salo but I've never seen it.
Mother of Tears wasn't a bad movie but seeing as how it's supposed to be part of a trilogy with Suspiria (I'm not a big fan but I have to say that visually it was very well done.) and Inferno (Same comment on the visuals as Suspiria but also a way better movie, I liked this one a lot.) it's quite disappointing in that regard. Dead Pit was just alright, kind of average. I had to get Pulse 2, I loved the first one (both the original and the remake), but this one seemed more like drama than horror, it had it's moments but ultimately fails.

I hated PULSE (the american one) I thought MOTHER OF TEARS was lacking in so many ways. I agree with you in favoring INFERNO over SUSPIRIA. SUSPIRIA is a great film but the hype is out of this world.
Today I bought
-FROGS and INFESTED (I think it's a SCIFI Original movie. It's about deadly insects. FROGS just hooked me for some reason. Seems like campy fun.)
I purchased each film at BIG LOTS, (previously Mac Frugals)
for 3 bucks a piece !!
