Back in the early Aughts, aka the good ole days before the public needed a restored version of Cathy's Curse! I mean, god damn! Why? who wanted that besides Kindertrauma? I waxed nostalgic-like about a shitty Italian cheeseball (or cheese cube) flick by Luigi Cozzi called Paganini Horror. You haven't lived until you've seen Skunkape's trailer for the Bon Jovi Horror!
Not many had seen PH, besides me and Chas Balun and most likely Dario Argento (who put up the money for wine and baguettes). Now that Severin just put out a new blu-ray and bundle together, which has a Churchill looking enamel pin that you can affix to your Severin Fanny pack! I'm just feeling disgusted by the world! Everything is devolving into the home shopping QVC network on all levels. Ever get the feeling you're being exploited? Or maybe you think exploitation is just a negative connotation and these Eurotrash auteurs were really doing it for heritage ala the Rebel flag?
There's a quote in Tommy Boy with Chris Farley, one of our nation's most historic comedies about selling "A Ketchup Popsicle to a women in white gloves." And yes, I will buy a newly restored version of a movie I saw on YT in 2014, because someone cared to put it out!

TOG was the one and only place talking about good one CHAS. Who's Chas you may wonder? I dunno the person who created a new economy for sweet ass companies like Severin Films, Blue Underground, Etc. Etc.
Now that every unknown film has been restored to less than stellar results (I finally caved and bought a Blu-ray player because DVD's stopped coming out period! Technological progress in my mind keeps rolling forward begrudgingly demolishing all things in its wake. One benefit to me is how, I can now find perfectly top notch versions of the same re-released flick for cheap at Rasputin records. People must adapt or get squashed. I however am just gonna whine about shit periodically, when it gets to be too much.
