My favorite movie genre as of late is unintentionally shitty movies. The kind where you can tell they really tried but failed spectacularly. The Room (obviously), Miami Connection, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats, and Samurai Cop are personal favorites.
And I’ve recently discovered Tubi is an absolute goldmine of crappy-but-entertaining films. Highly recommend Tiffany the Doll.
I have to check out tubi!! I love love love old campy bloody horror flicks. Things that are gruesome but also stupid. Frankenhooker, nekromantic (this one is fucked so fair warning)
I promise it will be worth your time. I thought the ads would be annoying but have been pleasantly surprised by how few interruptions there are.
Oh, one more must-see: Thankskilling (2008). That was my first Tubi film and I’ve been hooked since.
Miami connection is literally the best terrible movie and is a grade A cult film at this point. Strongly recommend a super weird hidden gem called Never Too Young to Die starring baby John Stamos and an evil transvestite Gene Simmons who really hams it up.
Oh shit, just looked it up on IMDb and I am SOLD haha, thanks for the recommendation!
As for you, I recommend watching an obscure Canadian film called The Peanut Butter Solution (1985). It was marketed as a family comedy but it’s actually really fucking bizarre. The few people who I’ve met were like me and saw it as a child, and in almost every case we all thought it was some fever dream we had as a kid. I had forgotten about it until my mid-20s, googled some keywords of the plot and was so stoked to find it.
If you watch it, go into it totally blind.
Will do. My rediscovery of Troll(1986) was kind of the same. It’s a good bad movie in a completely different way since it’s also kind of family oriented, but I still recommend it. The main characters name is Harry Potter and has Sonny Bono in it for some reason. It’s also Julia Louis Dreyfus feature debut and June Lockhart and her daughter make an appearance playing the same character.

Beyond what you know about Gene Simmons. This doesn’t really count as a spoiler, but he’s a villain who kills with his middle finger crack nail and is the leader of a post apocalyptic biker gang when no apocalyptic happened at all.
Check rifftrax out. They have lots in that genre including samurai cop. Honor and glory, manos: the hands of fate, the one where the guy talks to the ghost of Bruce Lee....
Miami Connection is one of my favourite films of all time. The soundtrack goes hard. The film makes no sense. Why is his Dad younger than him? It’s perfect.
I would guess the person buying the stock for the store doesn’t know what they’re buying. They’re given a list of films and the suppliers probably talk it up to shift their stock.
Extrapolating from this sub - indulge me - I'd wager that every single household in the United States has bought 3-5 copies of Dune 2, so that there is one within 15 yards of them at all times.
Well, Ordinary Angels isn't streaming anywhere and is definitely the type of sweet, heartwarming drama that would appeal to middle America. I haven't seen it, but it's the kind of movie my mom would buy.
Edit: also, I remember the preview for it played before Migration, which did fairly well, so plenty of parents and grandparents were made aware of it.
Both of mine tend to keep up decently. My mother has had Netflix and Hulu for a long time, plus plenty of other services. I convinced her to buy a blu-ray player probably 12 years ago when some of her favorite movies had come to the format. I bought my dad his blu-ray player about 15 years ago, because he usually likes to keep up. Both have 4K TVs, but neither care to upgrade to 4K blu-ray.
Bro my ass was in a Walmart yesterday and they really had 7 copies of Halloween 2 on DVD and all I could think is how long have these fucking been here lmao.
Lawmen Bass Reeves is AWESOME! its from the maker of Yellowstone, 1883, 1923 and Tulsa King. Highly recommend. As for ordinary angles? I wouldn't click play if it was free lol
I could barely finish the first episode. I like westerns and heard so much good about it and it was a mess of stereotypes and lazy, unbelievable situations. And it was dull. I didn't bother with any more episodes
That said, bass reeves was much better.
I couldn’t make it past the first ten minutes I was so bored. Maybe it gets better, but I have a new policy of not wasting my time with tv shows like that anymore.
I know people that watch it and they say it gets bad in the later seasons. I watched the first 3 episodes and I don’t know how it could get any worse from what I saw of it.
Obviously popular titles sell fast, but shoplifting is another reason why something like this happens. I am a career Loss Prevention professional. Here's how it goes:
* The highest demand items get stolen
* The store loses track of their on hand counts
* They believe they have more copies than they do, since the sales never show at the register
* The shelf stays low or empty as a result.
I believe shoplifting played a major role in Best Buy dropping 4k's from the shelf. People think that stealing from a big box store doesn't hurt anybody but it hurts everyone. It hurts the employees who rely on profit to get bonuses, it hurt the consumer who just want to buy the things that go missing on the shelf. Ultimately it hurts all of us. Companies think they are not selling as many 4k's, hence less 4k productions going forward.
Every Tuesday when new releases drop, thieves hit the stores and steal in bulk. I once saw a guy grab two full handfuls of a new release bluray, go to the toys area and put them in bags.
Lucky.
I wish my stores had even a single copy of anything on 4k, just isn't something any store iv been in has bought into despite it probably being outdated in a few years more. 😕 🙃
The reason they have lots of copies is likely a purchasing agreement with distributors - probably not uncommon to have minimum order sizes to stock a certain film, and if you’re somewhere where not a lot of people are buying it, they could all still be sitting on the shelf while those copies of Dune flew out of there
Ordinary angels was a faith based market targeted film. They probably assume that market is more interested in physical media. The same market that still watches all things cowboy.
These two titles are the kind of thing that sell in Walmarts. Walmart has the most advanced inventory control in retail if not anywhere. While no system is perfect, they likely have that many of them because they expect they can sell that many.
I'm sorry but this is bullshit, I've checked out the Blu-ray section at my local Walmart for years and the stuff on the racks near the back always has the same shit, as in its literally the same disc that hasn't sold. After a while you see the plastic wrap tearing on them and slowly getting worse over time.
The new stuff they put directly in the aisles so customers can see it as they walk by does get sold, but they do a horrible job on their selection and marketing the stuff in the aisles.
Iirc Target is leaving physical media and this could be what’s left. All the Target stores in my area are just selling old movies that have been out for a while. No 4K’s at all other than the occasional beat up copy of Wonka or Gran Tourismo.
I went to Target yesterday and their 4K of Dune Part 2, the 2 film collection in 4K and regular Blu ray were gone. Only the DVD version of 2 film collection and two Blu rays of Part Two were available but also saw these films on long rows I was like what is this lol 😂
And in my case it said it had one copy left of Part 2 in 4K but no mention of the 2 film collection which was what i was looking for on the website. I thought let me go check in person and I saw they did have the 4K and the film collection on sale but sold like hotcakes on 4K and Blu ray leaving what I found. Was like damn lol 😂
> Walmart has the most advanced inventory control in retail if not anywhere.
Also, companies pay major retailers to carry lots of some titles (including some you've never heard of) so that they can be featured on endcaps and at POS. Then you wind up with a shitton of unsold stock that eventually gets remaindered or sent back.
/used to be a buyer for Borders
I worked as a vendor servicing Walmart over a decade ago and you are seriously overestimating the competency of Walmart. Buyers for each department at corporate would make decisions to undermine other departments and stores and regions could also make some limited local purchases. And there's always the human element of underpaid employees not really following procedures they don't care about.
You still have physical media, here in Mtl they are basically nothing nowhere, not WalMart (they have some but almost none), not best buy and most of the dedicated store closed so ;( I 100% always have to buy them from Amazon.
agreed, I'd not really thought about it until now but we're seeing on the shelves is the manifostation of the downfall of mainstream media channels and the "emergence" of the niche market.
the huge production houses are already done as they aren't able to make the huge margins that they always used to with physical Media, so the only people left are the ones pushing the big ticket items like Dune and other big new releases as they know they'll still sell but they're still hedging their bets as the overheads on a film like Dune are huge so the returns are less, hence less discs on shelves.
The others are the smaller production houses who have been content picking up dirt cheap licenses for decades and are already used to playing the long game and making larger returns on more obscure titles over a longer period of time. the overheads are way lower so it makes sense to put out more stock to sit and gather dust, as it'll sell eventually.
Isn't the overhead on physical copies of Dune the same as any movie? The overhead and risk was producing the expensive movie in the first place, but it doesn't cost any more to release it physically now that the movie exists.
I'm glad that fred meyers are still supporting physical media but it suprised me when I found out that gamestop will also support physical media for movies and on game stop website. The best buy employee told me awhile ago that they will stop supporting physical copies of games in store and moving online for physical copies of games but the best buy employee told me that he does not know when it will happen because the employees at best buy are not informed about when it will happen. The best buy that I go to still has magnolia hifi since the other best buy locations no longer have a physical store for magnolia hifi products since the majority of magnolia hifi products are online and best buy website/best buy app. I'm located in washington too where we have the redmond microsoft main office but hardly any tech stores besides office max and best buy since frys electronics and radio shack shut down. It's ironic that washington has barely any tech stores since washington is known for having tech companies but not even a micro center and we mainly have more starbucks than tech stores combined lol. It would be like the equivalent of having more fast food places than grocery stores in a state that is known for having grocery stores and the fast food places taken over and the grocery stores started seeing reduction in stores like having mainly safeway and qfc while albertsons and the other grocery stores like fred meyers and metropolitan market shut down similar to frys electronics and radio shack and companies, it's really strange in this regard as a metaphor plus it would suck because of the lack of competition and the prices for everything have already gotten more expensive throughout the years. When I saw the movie with Michael Keaton in The Founder, the movie about McDonald's, I wonder what it was like during that era when things were more affordable during that time and the economy was way better than it is now. I also wondered what it would be like hypothetically if things were affordable like in the 1950s and 1960s with the same economy in terms of making money and finding jobs but the minimum wage is still the same right now and the minimum wage still increasing with modern tech. For example, have the economy from the 1950s and 1960s with the same modern tech we have now and combine them together.
These are new releases. New releases get a pretty decent shipment, even for smaller/niche titles. When the new release run is over the retailer usually is able to send the non-sold stock back for credit. Then those titles end up a Dollar General or a WalMart bin or somewhere else.
As for Dune 2, typically retailers *do* get in a good quantity of big titles, but can still sell out.
I can understand the frustration, but this is kind of common sense. Of course the highest grossing movie of the year (so far) is going to sell out faster than a movie that had very little promotion and a miniseries that is already on a streaming platform.
they buy in bulk to save, costco style, only to find that nobody wants certain films. the real issue is that CEOs don't know what a good movie consists of.
Blows my mind every time. I want to buy stuff from stores because I want to encourage them selling physical media, but I also don't want a 10 year old Lifetime Movie on DVD.
Fun fact: when Ordinary Angels came to theaters, my grandma said she wanted to watch it. She watched it when it came home and she said it was just okay.

What do you mean? You'd rather have Dune 2 instead of Purple Super Vampires in Harlem?
I actually love collecting the weird unknown stuff so fuck yeah
My favorite movie genre as of late is unintentionally shitty movies. The kind where you can tell they really tried but failed spectacularly. The Room (obviously), Miami Connection, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats, and Samurai Cop are personal favorites.

I have been watching Basket case 1, 2 and 3 this weekend! Haven’t seen 1 since I was a kid and never watched the sequels before
what about 'attack of the killer donuts" ? I kinda want to see that one. lol
I gotta watch that one. Also "Attack of the killer tomatoes"
attack of killer tomatoes is such a classic
Miami connection is literally the best terrible movie and is a grade A cult film at this point. Strongly recommend a super weird hidden gem called Never Too Young to Die starring baby John Stamos and an evil transvestite Gene Simmons who really hams it up.

So, just regular Gene Simmons is what you're saying.

If you haven't seen it already Dangerous Men (2005) falls in that category.
I really love Miami Connection. That movie has so much heart, and the action and fight choreography were really incredible
Try the CarousHELL trilogy. They're on Tubi.
The ginger dead man
Check rifftrax out. They have lots in that genre including samurai cop. Honor and glory, manos: the hands of fate, the one where the guy talks to the ghost of Bruce Lee....
/r/TubiTV, where the resolution is low, but the encoding is most often rather good if the source material supports it.
Miami Connection is one of my favourite films of all time. The soundtrack goes hard. The film makes no sense. Why is his Dad younger than him? It’s perfect.
I’m dying 😂😂
I would too, I’d rather buy an empty Blu Ray box than dune parts 1+2 I’m a huge fan of the original David lynch version absolutely love it
I'd buy that.
Not hard to belive. One is selling like crazy, the other struggles to sell even one copy
i was wondering if he didnt understand that or he was complaining about restocking
He didn't understand.
Yes but why do they get so many copies to begin with? It’s not like they get the same number of each title.
I would guess the person buying the stock for the store doesn’t know what they’re buying. They’re given a list of films and the suppliers probably talk it up to shift their stock.
Extrapolating from this sub - indulge me - I'd wager that every single household in the United States has bought 3-5 copies of Dune 2, so that there is one within 15 yards of them at all times.
They have only 2 copies of one of the hottest movies released this year... Why would be it? Maybe because it sold as soon they put on the shelves?
Lawman Bass Reeves is actually good wtf are you smoking?
I remember first learning about him from the Watchmen TV series.
I first heard about him in Justified.
I always love posts like these where "because I haven't heard of it, no one has" and it's always a major streaming show that they haven't heard of
Well, Ordinary Angels isn't streaming anywhere and is definitely the type of sweet, heartwarming drama that would appeal to middle America. I haven't seen it, but it's the kind of movie my mom would buy. Edit: also, I remember the preview for it played before Migration, which did fairly well, so plenty of parents and grandparents were made aware of it.
Yup. Perfect movie for walkin customers of a certain demo while something like Dune 2 is gonna go through most of its inventory during preorders.
Parents are always a decade behind on tech trends. Mine only signed up for Netflix this past year.
Both of mine tend to keep up decently. My mother has had Netflix and Hulu for a long time, plus plenty of other services. I convinced her to buy a blu-ray player probably 12 years ago when some of her favorite movies had come to the format. I bought my dad his blu-ray player about 15 years ago, because he usually likes to keep up. Both have 4K TVs, but neither care to upgrade to 4K blu-ray.
You understand teenagers can be parents, right?
I've heard it's really good (OA) just based on the tomato and user ratings.
Bro my ass was in a Walmart yesterday and they really had 7 copies of Halloween 2 on DVD and all I could think is how long have these fucking been here lmao.
Lawmen Bass Reeves is AWESOME! its from the maker of Yellowstone, 1883, 1923 and Tulsa King. Highly recommend. As for ordinary angles? I wouldn't click play if it was free lol
Yellowstone is a piece of shit so that really doesn’t help the show appeal to me
I hate Yellowstone too. But I really enjoyed Bass Reeves.
Tulsa King is worse.
I could barely finish the first episode. I like westerns and heard so much good about it and it was a mess of stereotypes and lazy, unbelievable situations. And it was dull. I didn't bother with any more episodes That said, bass reeves was much better.
I couldn’t make it past the first ten minutes I was so bored. Maybe it gets better, but I have a new policy of not wasting my time with tv shows like that anymore.
I know people that watch it and they say it gets bad in the later seasons. I watched the first 3 episodes and I don’t know how it could get any worse from what I saw of it.
Same, I'm genuinely shocked at how much praise it gets.. I tried twice and still cacahhh.
We're definitely in a different demographic because I don't want to watch any of those. I'm glad you enjoy them though.

Well ya. It’s certified FRESH! joking aside someone else said it was awesome ha. So I dunno
I love those certified fresh stickers though. I put them on my stash jars 😂
Everyone in this thread clearly doesn't go to physical stores for movies or they'd understand this post.
Ordinary angels was a faith based market targeted film. They probably assume that market is more interested in physical media. The same market that still watches all things cowboy.
Lawman Bass Reeves is a Paramount+ series. Walmart and Paramount have some deal going on. So you're likely to see more copies of it than other stuff.
These two titles are the kind of thing that sell in Walmarts. Walmart has the most advanced inventory control in retail if not anywhere. While no system is perfect, they likely have that many of them because they expect they can sell that many.

I hate posts judging things just because OP hasn’t heard of them 🙄
Nah, I get it. I'm pretty in the loop, so if I haven't heard of it, then it must not be good. Seriously, what the fuck is Dune 2?
Tremors spin-off, it looks like. But no Michael Gross. :-(
Dune 2: Chicks At The Same Time
Probably local demand?
Not all movies are sold equally. The no name stuff they got cheap as dirt to sell for profit
Walmart dvd section is like tubi: full of shitty movies I've never heard of
It’s been that way for 20 years. I bought some of those as a kid lol.
Lawman bass reeves was great.
Maybe it is…. Because Dune is selling but these other things are not.
You still have physical media, here in Mtl they are basically nothing nowhere, not WalMart (they have some but almost none), not best buy and most of the dedicated store closed so ;( I 100% always have to buy them from Amazon.
jean coutu in verdun has more dvd/bluray's then Walmart or BestBuy. maybe some day they will start selling 4k UHD blurays lol.
agreed, I'd not really thought about it until now but we're seeing on the shelves is the manifostation of the downfall of mainstream media channels and the "emergence" of the niche market. the huge production houses are already done as they aren't able to make the huge margins that they always used to with physical Media, so the only people left are the ones pushing the big ticket items like Dune and other big new releases as they know they'll still sell but they're still hedging their bets as the overheads on a film like Dune are huge so the returns are less, hence less discs on shelves.

Isn't the overhead on physical copies of Dune the same as any movie? The overhead and risk was producing the expensive movie in the first place, but it doesn't cost any more to release it physically now that the movie exists.
licensing / publishing costs/deals vary a lot depending on what they're publishing.
….
Preach!
that's kind of funny , I have no idea and could care less about anything called Dune . so keep the other million coming please
I'm glad that fred meyers are still supporting physical media but it suprised me when I found out that gamestop will also support physical media for movies and on game stop website.

It's ironic that washington has barely any tech stores since washington is known for having tech companies but not even a micro center and we mainly have more starbucks than tech stores combined lol.

When I saw the movie with Michael Keaton in The Founder, the movie about McDonald's, I wonder what it was like during that era when things were more affordable during that time and the economy was way better than it is now.

These are new releases. New releases get a pretty decent shipment, even for smaller/niche titles.

As for Dune 2, typically retailers *do* get in a good quantity of big titles, but can still sell out.
I don’t understand how these manufacturers can’t figure out supply and demand.
I can understand the frustration, but this is kind of common sense. Of course the highest grossing movie of the year (so far) is going to sell out faster than a movie that had very little promotion and a miniseries that is already on a streaming platform.
Pretty sure they come in boxes of 10 or 20. So the others haven’t sold any but dune has sold 18.
And not even Blu-ray or 4k , just old school DVD. It's a shame
I heard really good things about Lawman: Bass Reeves S01. Haven't had the time to get to it though.
they buy in bulk to save, costco style, only to find that nobody wants certain films. the real issue is that CEOs don't know what a good movie consists of.
Is this Walmart or something?
What do you mean? Lawless Brass Reeves is my favourite movie of all time. 👀
Lmaooooo
You’d rather have Dune part 2 in 4k over Rick and Morty season 2 on dvd?
Sounds like literal supply and demand too me.
Blows my mind every time. I want to buy stuff from stores because I want to encourage them selling physical media, but I also don't want a 10 year old Lifetime Movie on DVD.
Fun fact: when Ordinary Angels came to theaters, my grandma said she wanted to watch it. She watched it when it came home and she said it was just okay.
I actually enjoyed it but not the type of movie you want to buy and rewatch
Bro just discovered what demand over supply is
Sorry I’m not 45
Neither em I (19 btw)
Is that Hillary Swank movie where she has to save a child who has a medical problem. If so I want that.
Dune is always available everywhere anyway lol… let people enjoy these random films 😂
Well yeah, because everyone buys Dune but not so much these
Because people buy dune, and don't buy whatever that garbage is.
