Every night of winter break was a different disc of extras. This is Spinal Tap. I still haven't upgraded to blu-ray but the DVD extras on that are almost as good as the movie. There's all kinds of goofy poo poo mostly involving fake commericals and music videos and stuff. Even the menu is fun. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Df8YEBpgg

Isn’t there a commentary for Spinal Tap with all the cast in character?

Big Mean Jerk posted:Isn’t there a commentary for Spinal Tap with all the cast in character? Yup. There's also about three hours of deleted scenes on the Criterion DVD. I think there might be more than one commentary in character because due to some hosed up contracts the actors have to produce work as Spinal Tap to maintain ownership of the characters.

With the exception of one thing (it may have been a commentary track, I can't recall) everything from the Criterion DVD appeared later on the MGM release. edit: Never mind, I'm pretty sure it was Spinal Tap: the Final Tour, which was a sort of short demo version of the movie they used to sell the concept to the studio. I happened to find a copy of the Criterion release in a thrift store for three dollars a couple years ago. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Sep 13, 2018 |

That’s gotta be coming back to Criterion soon. They’ve been going hard on the Blu Ray reissues lately and that one has to be a highly requested one along with Robocop.

That's what people have been whispering about for a couple of years, especially since they announced some of the old DVD catalog stuff like The Silence of the Lambs. However, I guess there's some kind of rights issues involved with the movie so I'm not holding my breath. Equally in the "not holding my breath" category would be any release of the movie that includes this first appearance of Spinal Tap on some sketch show Rob Reiner had in the late 70s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzuxUSab_7c There's also a longer alternate version of the cheese rolling trailer that appears to have been made to solicit the film to theaters or something. It also has never been included on a video release of the movie as far as I know. I could be wrong though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIk6ekYCSv8

Maybe bit late but here's how I do it for my collection. Every single video game I buy now is digital. Xbox, Nintendo, Sony. Even if a game is delisted from a store, you can still re-download it and consoles can be kept offline. Yet I still buy physical movies. It's usually cheaper than buying digital, you never have to worry about the storefront and you can lend it out or take it to friends. Also the bit rate of a blu ray or especially a 4k disc is so much better than the HD download. Pretty sure there's a ton of people that also buy just digital songs or streaming as well. But there's no movie or TV streaming service that's as comprehensive as Spotify. So yes, physical still always wins for movies and TV shows and I don't see that changing for a long while.

Ineffiable posted:Maybe bit late but here's how I do it for my collection. Yeah, I have no problem with streaming music. They all have 95+ percent of what I want to listen to, whereas I can spend 15 minutes browsing through Netflix and not find a single thing I want to watch. Plus the quality is so much better by comparison. Tidal hi-fi has everything lossless and even some stuff in HD audio that's higher quality than you can get physically.

Everything else sounds cool too, I've never gotten their monthly package before but I'm considering it for this one. Def by Temptation is really, really good. I'm honestly surprised it's a VS release, I kind of thought most of what they did was rare and obscure stuff and I was under the impression that was a fairly well-known movie.

It's one of those movies that's never had a decent physical release and the version that's available on Amazon streaming is not good either. I still recommend watching it though.

Kino was going to release it, but the rights were blocked at the last minute. Allegedly, it’s Michael Mann not wanting the film in circulation.

Yeah, Michael Mann in several interviews has said that "The Keep" will never see a release nowadays. Too many bad memories making the movie.

The released version of the Keep was heavily interfered with by the studio so the movie doesn't really represent his vision. The director's cut is about double the length of the theatrical version.
