Anyone else catch the made for TV CotC?

The reason why i hate horror/slasher movies. watched parts of this when i was about ten....never again.....

Sorry, but there is only one true Final Sacrifice:



\ROWSDOWER!

Ponzholio: If they're big discs, I bet they won't fit in my regular sized DVD player...

Laser discs can be played on a standard record player, if I recall correctly.

Children of teh corn is like Highlander they only made ONE!

The corn in my doody is more entertaining.

Carrot Top is great in the first one.

downstairs: How can you fit 3 movies on one disc without some nasty-ass compression?

Lots of lube.

I watched Children of the Cornhole last weekend....it was painfully entertaining.

....or not.

downstairs: One Bad Apple: downstairs: How can you fit 3 movies on one disc without some nasty-ass compression?

No menus, no scene selection, No extras, not even dubbed french/spanish ?

How high quality do you think the orig copies are ?

All I know is I tried to fit as many episodes of Treme on a DVD for a friend, and when I got to the point of 4.5 or so hours, it was so compressed it was unwatchable. I had to settle on 3 shows per DVD.

Of course I don't have professional equipment.

Maybe they ponied up the extra few bucks for dvd-9's?

My Weeners was to write something sarcastic about "needing" professional equipment for a fine show like Treme....but the truth is that it is a very good show.....so, nevermind.

Awesome! It'll go great with the recently released Hellraiser Collection (Hellraiser movies 3-8)

Lumbar Puncture: Awesome! It'll go great with the recently released Hellraiser Collection (Hellraiser movies 3-8)

I got that for $7.50 at my local K-mart. A hell of a deal!

I like Mill Creek's way of thinking: a ton of stuff for a bargain price. Golden!

Yeah - but a ton of crap for a bargain price is still just a ton of crap.

They're on bog discs? Will I need a bid DVD player to play them?

CravenMorehead: They're on bog discs? Will I need a bid DVD player to play them?

Holy fark. bog=big and bid=big.

Jesus H. Christ.

I didn't even like the first Children of the Corn.

Yes. I just had to come into the thread to share that.

And only one guy who can truly pull off the hockey hair:

Was there really a market for SIX of these? Did someone engage in this venture thinking it would make money, or was this the final wish of an eccentric millionare to have these films made and financed with his own personal fortune?

I think they were more of a training ground for writers, directors, and actors. FFS, Naomi Watts and Eva Mendes were in these movies.

They were also dirt cheap to make and were guaranteed to be stocked in every Blockbuster in America because Dimension was releasing them, so there really wasn't a downside.

Maybe they're using double sided discs, like the Tremors movie pack, 4 movies on 2 double sided discs.

Confabulat: Lee's_Austin: Anyone else catch the made for TV CotC?

I watched it. Wasn't there like the guy from Battlestar Galactica or something? I must have been drunk. I think I liked it ok.

I think so. Maybe. Same boat.

Charlize Theron getting raped by a tentacle corn monster? I'm there.

/CotC 3

PLENTY of bad (entertainingly so) Sci-Fi and Horror collections out there. The Ol' Lady and I pick one up every couple of months or so...usually 4 str82DVD flicks on one or two discs...its pretty shiatty, but a few drinks and 5 bucks for one of those sets is an entertainment bargain!

Oh, Subby...but that's not all of the sequels. (new window)

/Unfortunately.

Fold them in half, or make a burrito with them.

Only the first one counts.

I just bought this yesterday for a friend. Andy Sidaris collection, 12 films, 3 discs...

Lumbar Puncture: Awesome! It'll go great with the recently released Hellraiser Collection (Hellraiser movies 3-8)

Stop talking crazy, there were only two Hellraisers made.

I'm seeing a lot of these no-frills collections at the supermarket and Wal-Mart. Half of them look like the cover has been downloaded and printed on an inkjet. Hell, I've bought black market stuff in Indonesia that looked more authentic.

I've picked up the odd $5-and-under disc just to see what they were like. Some of them look like higher compression. Others look like they were scanned from letterboxed VHS or perhaps they leased the films and did their own scans. Contrast and brightness can be a bit off, as well as the framerate. If you just wanna watch the movie for less than the price of a rental (or the time it takes to download), it's not so bad sometimes. I guess some of the studios are giving access to distributors for a bit of cash. I know it's primarily Miramax that gets the $2 releases at my grocery store.

downstairs: How can you fit 3 movies on one disc without some nasty ass-compression?

Don't be such a prude.

genepool lifeboat: Aren't all the Hellraiser and CotC streaming on Netflix right now?

I think so. It was part of the hundreds of flicks they got when they made a deal with the Weinsteins.
