Looking forwards to this. Arrow casually mentioned through a postcard they're releasing Videodrome. If Videodrome gets a steelbook (and if it's the gun through the TV or a VHS in James Woods' guts) then that's it for me. Would take something ridiculous to outdo that.

Finally got a shipping confirmation this morning. Very nice-looking steelbook.
