TWC CONTINUES GLOBAL DOMINATION

Until the Weinsteins get bored, The Weinstein Company will own everything on earth that there is to own, and some things that shouldn't be owned at all. Genius Products, their video distribution label, has signed an exclusive deal to distribute Tartan USA videos, including their Asian Extreme line.

July 25 will see a straight-to-video release for the Korean horror film, CELLO, and on August 8, Yoji Yamada's THE HIDDEN BLADE will plop out into stores on DVD. All hail the new flesh.

It's possible this isn't a completely bad thing. It seems pretty harmless, though I feel dirty knowing the Weinsteins will get a cut of the money when I buy a Tartan DVD. I'm sure there's some huge downside I'm overlooking.

This somehow scares the s--t out of me, but that's just me. "Genius Products"? The hubris of the Wankstains. And straight to video. Yeah after it has passed through both of their quite substantial intestinal tracts. Yuck!

Another question for anyone. Is it really Tarantino or the Windstrewn brothers holding (sitting on?) the U.S. rights to "Zatoichi umi o wataru" (aka #14)?
