The Blood Sister viewing — "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun, one…"
Blood Sister: One Tough Nun, one of Himself’s few commercial successes, wouldn’t have made near the money it made if it hadn’t come out just as InterLace was starting to purchase first-run features for its rental menus and hyping the cartridges with one-time Spontaneous Disseminations. It was the sort of sleazy-looking shocksploitation film that would have had a two-week run in multiplex theaters 8 and above and then gone right to the featureless brown boxes of magnetic-video limbo.
Context
The Work's distribution economics get a full paragraph: the one commercial hit is an accident of the InterLace transition, not of the film. Pairs with 150's "The reason Jim kept forming his own distribution companies was to ensure distribution" — the oeuvre lived outside the market until the market changed shape around it.
