andi Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There is no doubt that Other Music in NYC near my office will get some of these. I'm not taking pre-orders but when these start hitting retail stores I will be open to buying them out and sharing them with the board. If I read the Mondo update on the sell-out correctly, this is a one-time pressing so I imagine they will disappear from retail locations as well fairly quickly. I'm in for one!

wasteland76 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The picture discs fucking suck, don't get it. I had to manually enlarge the hole on my discs to even fit on ANY turntable ... Looks awesome. But yep same issue for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 just watched this film again. SO fucking good. /chills ? No offense but I like this movie ok I just don't see how people think it is awesome? It seems like the movie is extremely lacking plot at multiple points in the film. Can someone explain this to me, is it because of the source material? The soundtrack is killer though!

Would love a copy, if you know it's doable. And I'd gladly pay in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlucas Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yep! I wanted to like it, but you have to admit it is not really very detailed... I like that about it. No need to tell you pointless information. And the fact that there's no real ending makes it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideny Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yep! I wanted to like it, but you have to admit it is not really very detailed... That's the point, you're left to fill in the blanks about the driver's past. It's basically a new age film noir, in the way it's shot (low lighting, camera angles) and in overall tone. There doesn't have to be any positive outcome for the main characters, which is something people I saw it with questioned, and the morality of the driver is left intentionally ambiguous. You know he's probably not a good person, judging by the way he snaps in certain scenes, let alone his profession, but he only seems to want to help the other characters in the film. Yes, there is little dialogue but the music/cinematography/actions of characters are meant to make up for that. batman, esbe, Rip and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vardcore Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Redeye is wholesaling BOTH versions, by the way. They have the gatefold and the pic disc as separate items in their catalog. I do not know if some of theirs will be pink too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardcore Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 In regard to the film itself, I recommend reading both books and then watching it again. I have much respect for the vision of the screenwriter and director. It's like they were inspired by the book and ran with it. The two are different experiences in many ways.

tokimedo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 fuck me, i was traveling in NYC and missed this PO. anybody grab an extra in hopes of getting a pink? if you get a black and a pink, throw me your black copy! please! daegor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I would have bought 2 had I known this would sellout this quickly. Figured this would have wide distribution though and I didn't want to get stuck with an extra copy I couldn't get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think it's awesome that Mondo presses these amazing soundtracks and I'm extremely grateful that they do, but I really do think they need to limit the number of records people can buy. They limit the number of prints to 2 per person, why not do the same for the vinyl? And yes I realize that they press a lot more records than they do prints, but does anyone at Mondo really worry about something not selling out at some point on their site? It just pisses me off thinking about all the assholes who only buy Mondo prints, who are buying 6 copies of the soundtracks just to sell them all at stupid prices. But whatever... it's been that way for a long time and I don't see it changing anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id highly doubt they change their business motto moving forward. It is what it is, just gotta realize that and adapt methods to get your hands on their items.

lexicondevil Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Does anyone else think that Ryan Gosling looks like Colin Farrell in Stout's cover/poster? Everyone else in the print looks great, but I just can't get past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever tried to get a print straight from Mondo. I usually end up getting it secondhand from somewhere else. I've been successful with all of the soundtracks though so I'm not complaining personally. Just for the people who didn't get a chance to get one.
