the death of VHS, disappearing films, and the state of cinephilia

In the US too? Doesn’t seem to be :(

hmm yeah not “now showing” on my uk app either

Aw shit 😞

I haven’t joined MUBI yet but it *looked* like it would be available to watch there, was gonna sign up today …

Well, eventually, I guess.

it's on the torrents at idope.se, an Italian blu-ray rip which probably won't have ENG subs.

Looks like the blu-ray was released on January 23.

I'm not sure where I would even buy a new Blu Ray or DVD these days!

I checked Amazon even though i don't have an account there and nothing. eBay has a couple of copies but the shipping from Italy is like 20 euros. Just found a torrent I think.. "Traccia n. 6" looks promising....

It’s on Amazon

Ah amazon.it! Well i’m not opening an Amazon account just for this because fuck Amazon

one of you has sent me a... note... on ilxmail and i am v grateful, writing this here since you can't reply to ilxmail

Of *course* it’s on Amazon, which I will never join to watch movies or TV.

No, the blu-ray is for sale. I only mentioned it because Tracer had said it wasn’t.

lost media: movies direct to video

for future reference, there are plenty of places to buy DVD/blu rays beyond Amazon (I use Zavvi UK), and of course if you're in central London you can drop by Fopp.

Any particular DVD sites recommended for Americans?

(I know a bunch of good sites for older movies but am unsure about new movies/TV show DVDs.)

i appreciate the website recommendations! but fyi none of them sell siccita and no sic i am not going to create an amazon account just for the pleasure of paying shipping from italy

I don’t recall advising anyone to create an Amazon account for any reason

it has bbc4 written all over it tbh. I'm sure if you wait a while it'll turn up.

lol the ring of truth

otoh better not wait too long or bbc four won’t exist
