More music, although I'll have to wait for the replacement GPO PR50 to arrive (they did send a prepaid returns label so I got that sent out earlier on today) as tetris has some skipping issues which I'm currently putting down to cheap turntable syndrome as there things can't handle some things like large amounts of bass (and single below it also has skipping issues which I'm putting down to the turntable mechanism since it stops if I manage to get the record placed perfectly to avoid excessive horizontal movement in the tone arm).

My latest acquisitions
Today's arrival is Shinya Tsukamoto's Gemini from Third Window Films on Blu-ray with a first print slipcase. The distributor has released most of the director's works and Gemini is the latest one for the Blu-ray format (the film was apparently never released in the UK before which is interesting). I believe this is basically the US Blu-ray with a few tweaks but either way it has a nice slipcase which is going out of print.
With the exception for Ruined Heart which has dispatched but not yet arrived, there's now 21 films left to get for the TWF Blu-ray collection. I reckon a few of the older films may also expire over the course of the year so I plan to try and get them sooner than later if I possibly can. The remaining titles are as follows:
- TWFBD012 - 2013 - Sion Sono's The Land of Hope
- TWFBD013 - 2013 - Shinya Tsukamoto's Tokyo Fist
- TWFBD014 - 2013 - Shinya Tsukamoto's Bullet Ballet
- TWFBD018 - 2015 - Eiji Uchida's Greatful Dead
- TWFBD020 - 2015 - Shinya Tsukamoto's A Snake of June
- TWFBD023 - 2016 - Takeshi Kitano's Kikujiro
- TWFBD024 - 2016 - Takeshi Kitano's Dolls
- TWFBD025 - 2016 - Ken Ochiai's Uzumasa Limelight
- TWFBD026 - 2016 - Sion Sono's Love & Peace
- TWFBD027 - 2016 - Takeshi Kitano's A Scene at the Sea
- TWFBD028 - 2016 - Takeshi Kitano's Kids Return
- TWFBD031 - 2017 - Tetsuya Mariko's Destruction Babies

Today's arrival is Khavn De La Cruz's Ruined Heart: Another Lovestory Between a Criminal & a Whore from Third Window Films on Blu-ray with a limited edition package. It's a Philippines film released in 2014 with Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer) and Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle (Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express, Shinji Imaoka's Underwater Love).
Like the Pink Films released in 2020 & 2021, this release is also a collaboration with Rapid Eye Movies so the UK & German Blu-ray discs will likely be the same. The Blu-ray disc will also work with Region A players so if you live outside the UK and want to own the set, now would be a good time to do so. The film is going out of print and the distributor mentioned there were at least under a 100 units remaining across all retailers so I wanted to pick it up sooner than later.
The limited edition package includes the film's original soundtrack on CD and a booklet in both English & German.
For now that should be all of the out of print (+ almost out of print) releases acquired. I do think a few of the older titles will eventually sell out later this year or next year depending on how well they perform etc. As mentioned in an earlier post, I now have 21 films remaining to complete or be up-to-date with my Third Window Films Blu-ray collection.
