But I figure I’ll return them if no good, but just did a cursory google search and it seems to be good. I usually stick w Blu-Ray.com for reviews and whatnot. I like their site design and what they address in reviews. I’m by my no means a videophile but like to know I’m not contributing to lovely products.

I can't compare Casino to the Blu as I didn't own it, but I thought it looked solid and someone on their forum did a pretty good writeup about how they thought it was a good improvement. I'm never wow-ed by anything, so unless something is plain bad and I have a source to compare to, it's hard for me to say 'yes! this is the one!' mind. Shaun of the Dead looked like it had a bit more detail and again seemed fine at least, but I don't think it went far beyond the Blu-Ray from memory of it.

Picked up the Cornetto Trilogy and Casino UHDs. It wouldn't surprise me if Shaun is actually a new transfer instead of an upscale since it really looks fantastic. (The Life Aquatic, released the same year, had to get a new 4K transfer for its Blu-ray, which makes me think DIs of this vintage don't hold up). Hot Fuzz and The World's End are probably upscales, but still look great. I think Hot Fuzz has a little bit of noise reduction that was built into the DI since it varies from shot to shot. Casino looks great, too. Though, it's a Super-35 film with a lot of soft focus and diffusion, so it's not going to be in the same league as a Panavision film. And I thought Goodfellas looked pretty good, but it's a dark film.

Boywhiz88 posted:What’s the word on Corenetto Trilogy? Not very good. Shaun is an upscale (from the 2k DI) but has much better colour thanks to the HDR Hot Fuzz looks like it's either been DNRd, or it's a shoddy filmout, or both. I think World's End is the same deal as Shaun. Have a look for yourself how much worse Hot Fuzz looks. It introduces chromatic aberration and blurs the image and applies a light blanket of noise to compensate. It looks like a lazy Lionsgate filmout. https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=2&x=352&y=170&d1=13383&d2=13382&s1=133998&s2=133977&l=0&i=3&go=1 Chromatic aberration is most obvious here on the sides of the notes: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=13383&d2=13382&s1=133993&s2=134002&i=8&l=0 Egbert Souse posted:Picked up the Cornetto Trilogy and Casino UHDs.

A lot of people didn't have bright enough displays when it first came out and for some reason that reputation has stuck. It's a fantastic transfer. Also the official reviews on blu-ray.com are garbage and should be ignored.

MacheteZombie posted:Weird was hoping it was going up with it's big sale on friday Per the email (Why aren't you on the VS mailing list already?), Tammy and the T-Rex is one of the "super secret" black friday Blu Rays, but we all know the cat is out of the bag on that one. It looks like they're doing a flash pre-order for the secret Blus on September 19-20, so Tammy is included in that one. Now if only they would figure out how to send me my damned spider beast from last Black Friday.

The Casino UHD gets rid of the (slight) sharpening of the BD and has better fine detail. Check out DeNiro's suit here: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=13389&d2=13388&s1=134091&s2=134092&i=7&l=0charles. posted:Also the official reviews on blu-ray.com are garbage and should be ignored. I think it depends on the reviewer. A couple of them are pretty good and some of them are terrible. I suspect that Jeffrey Kauffman is legally blind.

Is Tammy and the T-Rex going to be strictly limited or is this just another one of those things where people are going to lose their poo poo to get that  LIMITED EDITION SLIPCASE!!!!! when you can wait a month and the movie will always be in stock?

There probably will be one closer to the flash sale and/or Black Friday, but yeah, it's likely just a limited slipcase, and a normal edition will be available later. I do hope it's an awesome slipcase like the one for Hell Comes to Frog Town

Unless I wasn't paying close attention it seems like they never annouce that when it's the case. I can't imagine them having such a big get as Tammy and the T-Rex and making it a strictly limited release. I just want to have my bases covered in case I can't get one during the pre-sale because it seems like it's going to be an "it" item.

Amityville: It's About Time is legit a really decent DTV horror film. I love the Amityville movies (minus the recent ones that have come out the last few years). Top notch trash. This is a good set IMO and I am pretty excited about it.

I'm not really interested unless the box set comes in a regular slipcase, individal discs with slipcases, cases without slipcases, steel books, and all the movies in a big plastic house that I can put in a glass case.

Boinks posted:Local antique mall has a CED player for $15, thinking about going back to get it, not that I have any media. Be warned that unlike laserdiscs, CEDs are generally going to have playback issues since the layer of silicone has dried up. Though, they're apparently pretty easy/cheap to repair since it's usually just belts that can be replaced or plastic gears that can be superglued back together. The discs also weigh a ton. I got a box with maybe 20 titles and it was like moving a giant concrete block. The format only existed from 1981-1986, so they're all pan & scan for post-1950s films except for a few exceptions* and it's basically VHS-quality. *The Long Goodbye, Woodstock, King of Hearts, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Manhattan, and Amarcord were the only titles released letterboxed. In fact, Holy Grail even has the slightly extended cut and the original trailer. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Sep 16, 2019 |

Apple Corps already confirmed Let It Be is coming in 2020 for the 50th anniversary - both the original film and Peter Jackson's new doc working from the same 60+ hours of footage. Sounds like the theatrical release of new doc will be in May and the video release later in the year. Don't forget the new ultimate Abbey Road set is coming at the end of the month - while no actual video features, there's a Blu-ray disc containing the new Dolby Atmos mix (in addition to 192Khz LPCM stereo and 96Khz DTS-HD MA 5.1 mixes).

Since we all had such a good time dunking on that weirdos horrible "collection" of 12 copies of Hitch on UMD or whatever the gently caress, how does everyone in here keep their poo poo organized and such? If you say/post a picture of a binder I would humbly request that an MOD probate you, please. I keep a movie closet, Criterion style, for most of my stuff. There's a few things that are big/weird/won't fit (fuckin Stranger Things VHS cases are slightly too big) or I just like having on their own. Here are pics!  Criterion Stuff    Other Boutique Label Stuff   Movies   TV    Comic Book Stuff    Non-Movie Closet Stuff    Note 1: There's three small shelves not pictured which are my roommates tiny collection. Most of it still DVD. Note 2: Yes I own both loving Boondock Saints movies, I got them right when they first came out which was years ago, I know they suck Note 3: I don't own Godzilla 2014 cause it's not on loving 4k yet. Note 4: Anything I own twice is mainly there due to special features disparity. For example I still have the DVD of the first Terminator because none of the subsequent releases has had all, or any for that matter, of the special features on it. When I trade up in format or for a new scan I usually give away my old discs to friends or donate them to a library. I used to sell them to places like Half Price Books but you get so little money now that it's not even worth it.

I just have everything in Alphabetical order. It was one media tower, but that broke in half on Thanksgiving, so now the Series are on the top half, leaning against the wall, while non-series are on the bottom half, still free standing. The non-series half is nearly full
