Sounds like it's going to be another good year. Can't wait to see what those contemporary works are.

Re: Second Run General Chitchat
Hi!
Many thanks for the recent announcement about Zanussi´s Illumination on DVD!
I´m also a big Jancso fan -- and would like to ask, would you like to release Sirokkó, La pacifista, Hungarian Rhapsody and Allegro barbaro? Just reread a Sight & Sound article about the last two films. Sounds like prime or near-prime Jancso to me. Maybe you could also find some text information about Concerto, the never-filmed third part of the trilogy (with Hungarian Rhapsody and Allegro barbaro), for booklet material?

Re: The Bona Fide Bargain Thread
can anyone recommend a site that has the best prices on Second Run DVDs? Or if there are any sales going on? I want to make a large purchase order. Thank you.

Re: Second Run General Chitchat
A lot of them are currently £6.37 at WOW HD. The clear winner right now.

How do these small companies release such cheap DVDs?

Thanks. I grabbed five and holy crap I'm pleased. But most likely WOW will cancel two or three of them.TMDaines wrote:A lot of them are currently £6.37 at WOW HD. The clear winner right now.

Re: Second Run General Chitchat
They won't. These DVDs are pretty much always dropping down to these prices there, before bouncing back up again.

I can't think of any Second Run release that isn't worth getting at that price, (even the early ones with dodgy transfers).TMDaines wrote:A lot of them are currently £6.37 at WOW HD. The clear winner right now.

Re: Second Run General Chitchat
It's worth nothing that WOW has a US site as well where the prices are good but not as low as £6.37, and that shipping is free to the US whichever portal you use.

By watching every penny like the proverbial hawk. There's a reason that Second Run doesn't do all-stops-out special editions with umpteen bells and whistles: you'll always get a booklet, but if there's an on-disc extra at all it'll probably just be a short video interview or appreciation - there are very few exceptions to that general rule.Mathew2468 wrote:How do these small companies release such cheap DVDs?
But it's a very sensible business model, as Second Run's catalogue is so obscure that it relies on people's willingness to blind-buy. So it's very much in their interest to keep the price as low as possible.
In fact, the two-disc Fighters aside, have they ever released anything for more than £12.99 RRP? (Which in practice means you'll never have to spend more than a tenner even if it's a brand new release).

Ok, that would be fine. They just cancelled my latest order (Will Penny, a western I have never even seen), but maybe they had their reasons.TMDaines wrote:They won't. These DVDs are pretty much always dropping down to these prices there, before bouncing back up again.

Re: Second Run General Chitchat
I've just never had a problem, that's all, and these prices aren't anything stupendous for Second Runs on WOW HD. I keep getting alerts about them dropping down to this level for a short period.
