Spatulater bro! posted:The worst packaging I've experienced is the Twilight Zone complete series Blu-ray. The disc hubs use two small but very rigid clips to secure the disc. Removing the disc requires prying/flexing the disc way past my comfort level. Reinserting it requires pushing the clear center portion with so much force that I'm convinced I'm going to crack the disc every single time. Luckily I haven't cracked any yet, but there's no reason packaging should make me sweat this much. The best part is both my Star Trek and Twilight Zone had a few discs rattling around loose in there when I opened them. Given that there's no possible way for those discs to fall out of the holders once they're in, I can only assume they failed to insert some properly at manufacturing.

The worst is the original Blu-ray release of the Back to the Future trilogy. They had to include directions on how to get the discs out and put them back in, and it’s a nightmare to actually do.

wa27 posted:All the classic CBS TV blu ray releases are like that, I think. Star Trek is the same way. It's a shame because they're great sets for very cheap prices. And it's not like they cheaped out on the packaging, it's just poor design. There were a couple of seasons of The Simpsons that had the discs slide in and out of a concertina cardboard sleeve. It was fantastic at scuffing DVDs right out of a brand new box.

Pretty sure the cases for Curb Your Enthusiasm were designed by the same guy who made the lament configuration box from Hellraiser.

Just a heads up, Sicario Blu-ray is $4.00 on Amazon.

Kino said they had to get garbage like It's Pat to get the Selznick and ABC Films libraries. On the other hand, they are giving Cabin Boy a Criterion-level release. They'll probably sell more copies of Kazaam than some of their best films. Empress Brosephine posted:Also what movies of kino Lorber do you recommend Warts and all, their release of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the best out there. Also: Pioneers of African-American Cinema (be warned - some of the films are rough to watch) The Lion in Winter The Adventures of Captain Marvel GOG Take the Money and Run Barton Fink The Covered Wagon Running Wild

If you’re into spaghetti westerns at all, the Sabata films (Sabata, Adios Sabata, Return of Sabata) range from solid to great. You should also pick up A Fistful of Dynamite/Duck, You Sucker regardless of whether you’re into westerns, because that movie is fantastic.

So my “America: Lost and Found” set came today. 1). JFC, Barnes and Noble has great shipping speeds, goddamn. 2) how should i put this in my collection? I figured I would just file it under A but the individual films could be sorted. I’ll proly go w the former but wanted to know how people handle situations like these.

The dude who directed It's Pat the Movie also directed the music videos for Push the Lil Daisies and Baby Got Back, so he gets a lifelong pass from me. EDIT: I would like a feature that points out the uncredited rewrites Quentin Tarantino did on the script, though.

I love how the interviewer didn't ask "How the hell did come about?" but instead went with the least interesting question possible, which Tarantino took in a really strange direction.

I'll never point a finger at a movie and say it doesn't belong in glorious 1080P high definition when I'm achingly pining for a Blu-ray of Transylvania 6-5000. EDIT: I also deeply treasure my double pack release of Student Bodies and the absolutely truly sublime Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again. I will always shill for that loving movie - if you like really really stupid, shamelessly funny poo poo, I'm talking Man With Two Brains/Freaked/Hot Rod levels of stupid, Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again is your jam. caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Aug 9, 2018 |

I like to file my stuff Alphabetically. I can't say I have any sets at the moment, but I would probably keep them together. Then again also I split up sequels based on titles, so Army of Darkness comes before Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2.

Not that it was ever funny, but it feels like Pat is out of their time today. Like, the concept of someone not being clearly male or female is just something we encounter. I encounter it on a near daily basis - one of my coworkers goes by "they." Like, I just can't imagine a modern audience looking at It's Pat and not being disgusted.
