Re: Vinegar Syndrome and Their Partner Labels
In case anyone notices that the new Magnolia partner Blu-ray of Redacted runs almost a minute longer than the DVD & is wondering, it turns out it's entirely due to the end credit scroll running about 25% slower (additionally a Deluxe logo has been added to the part of the scroll with various company/union logos). The rest of the film is exactly the same. However, the new transfer is a lot better than the DVD, which turns out to have been zoomed by about 2%; for example, you can now actually read a lot of the text on various computer screens, which is really blurry on the DVD transfer, and now has more visible text with the additional image.

But that’s my point, you can’t compare Radiance or Eureka or SecondRun to VS in terms of sale order numbers. I imagine even Arrow isn’t on the same level.ryannichols7 wrote: Sat Jun 27, 2026 7:26 pm regardless of whether they say it or not, it's pretty pathetic for the prices they charge. they clearly have the money if they can open all these stores and license all these titles. literally every UK label has this stuff figured out, and even the US labels that I order from. it's not about increasing the kevyip, it's about owning the stuff that I've already paid for. I'm sure they'd be super quick about shipping out the scalper priced stuff they sell from their eBay storefront!
VS have been very open about trying to keep up with their increasing demand by moving to a larger warehouse and employing more staff etc but (according to them) every sale gets busier and busier for them.
If they say they will have the sale items shipped out 4 weeks after the start of Partner month and you still choose to order from them you can’t roll your eyes at them for shipping out 4 weeks after the start of Partner month. Period. They clearly aren’t sitting on their hands or going on holiday, once those items are sold they are just taking up precious warehouse space and lead to more and more time consuming customer service messages to reply to asking where their order is.
And I’m sorry to hear you don’t order from Mondo Macabro! Knowing your director tastes I think you’d love Jancso’s Private Vices, Public Virtues.
