Just got an email from Chainsaw video (who I still buy stuff from
occaisionally)...

"All good (and bad) things have an end and so we've decided to quit the
DVD-mailorder business and go on with other things".

Doesn't say what the "other things" they're going to be doing though.

A sad time for horror collectors!

they are a relic of an olden age - when people were happy to pay a fortune
for an old videotape of the beyond with burnt in dutch subtitles.

ago....although he did some good deals in the day before dvd took off that
was one too much for me to bite.

the last time i got bummed by customs was when i got nicked importing the
DAWN OF THE DEAD DEFINITIVE EDITION and they fucked me for import
duty....and that was from PLAY.COM
i have never had a disc confiscated to this day...do they realy bother
unless you try to import something that LIFSHINE would be intrested in.
i think customs have bigger fish these days than policing images other than
fake gore and pretend rape.

you FILTHY COALMINING PERVERT.

to be honest all you need to keep an eye out for is the stuff that you can
get on play for �2.99 that they will charge �20 for....those BACON NIGGERS
are a bit behind the times but they dont cut their films.

A nasty little piece of legislation called "The Dangerous Pictures Act"
could see you flung in jail for possessing a number of Joe D'Amato or Jess
Franco flicks that mix sex and violence togethor.

Some guy recently got fined just for having a few dodgy images on his mobile
phone.

Welcome to the UK where bad taste is now officially a crime (theyre also
going to be banning sexually expicit cartoons shortly, so dont go sending
any of those "adult" simpsons joke cartoons to your mates).

its a joke...you know if someone is a sick fuck or who simply has a sick
fucking sense of humor...
i cant imagine you can buy anything from that site that hasnt stood the test
of time...most of it even the soft porn is regarded as works of 70s art.
if they were selling kiddie porn or such like then fair enough...what makes
me laugh is that most people DUE to liking horror or exploitation has A
BETTER undestanding of what is right and wrong....far from being moraly
corrupted...thats the point of the genre.

lets go back to LET THE RIGHT ONE IN there was a breif shot of a supposedly
12 year old girls vaginal area....yet mark kermode and other criticts are
hailing this as a work of ART.
the difference is ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A WANK?

you ARE RESPONSABLE FOR WHAT YOU WATCH AND YOUR REACTIONS.

I own a very terrifying set of Edison wax cylinders which have the
screams of a ghost etched into them.

Mostly unrelated--does it seem like there were quite a few eurosleaze
movies from the 70's where some one thought it was 'art' to put naked
11-12 year old boys and girls in front of a camera? Seems like I've
seen at least two or three like that whilst browsing CG. Is there
something about snorting cocaine that makes you think pubescent kids
need to be tossed naked in front of a camera? What the hell was the
deal back then?

ive no idea...probably just the same as smashing up monkeys because you
could simply get away with it....
now you would expect LIFSHINE to put a case foreword here for the case of
BUMMING UNDERAGE BOYS ON SCREEN...it just goes to show he just simply SPAMS
THE PLACE UP with his self publicity and doesnt really read this newsgroup
whatsoever.
i bet anus is exactly the same....he will only read follow ups to the
threads he posts instead of constructively being involved in any group.

I agree, the problem is that MPs don't and think that people who circumvent
their antiquated obscene publications act should be criminalised. What is
legal elsewhere is not legal here as far as they're concerned and now this
law is on the statute books we have a dangerous precedent in place which
police and customs can interpret as they see fit!

Would have been a better idea if they looked at WHY these films are
perfectly legal in other countries, instead of trying to maintain their
antiquated legislation by other means.

maybe they have nothing better to do than make nasty films / images illegal.
after all its not as if they have any peadophile rings, drug pushers or
illegal immegrants to worry about is there.

there will always be sad fuckers saying "oh you cant watch that....ive seen
it and its horrible"...like i said i just dont know how the hell they can
stop it....they can go take a flying fuck.
dont get me wrong if a film pops up featuing some old lady being raped and
beaten for real then that does need acting on...just dont show charlie sheen
a copy of OVER 40 AND FILTHY.
