Boutique not paying worker(s)

Boutique not paying worker(s)

Just wanted to share here—the label isn't mentioned, but the author does a lot of work with genre titles, writing highly detailed and thoughtful essays for blu ray booklets. I hope exploiting workers is not a standard practice and does not become one. Boutique labels should understand that not paying workers is a despicable practice on par with using AI.

DIETRICH at UNIVERSAL is Back!!

Hi! I'd been watchlisting the BFI Dietrich at Universal set for MONTHS, always marveling that it was still in print while the most insanely awful crap churned out by [REDACTED] goes OOP within weeks. After Orbit finally sold out and I spent a few weeks waiting in vain for it to return, I grabbed it at Limelight, adding a couple other titles to offset the shipping cost. The next day I saw this, and it was gone from Limelight and elsewhere. Thankfully, mine was already flying across the Atlantic. It's wonderful -- the quality of film prints, the backgrounders and photos in the essay booklet, the full-bleed photos on the covers of each blu ray case, the hard case and its cover art. Just an all-timer. I've only watched THE SPOILERS so far, and it's great, so well put together, with Randolph Scott in an atypical role for him. A Great Time at the Movies!

** SCALPERS PLEASE CLOSE THIS TAB, THIS ISN'T FOR YOU. THANK YOU. **

Then today, for some reason an antiquated Orbit stock alert arrived, and somehow it's back in stock there? For even less than it used to cost?? (It's $28 now, I think it used to be $35, which was also a steal.)

If you love the classics, I suggest you hop on this. Enjoy! (Now if they can just resurrect this one too, I'll be in heaven)
