RichterIX posted:Is the Gamera box set region free or do I need to buy it from someplace specific if I'm in the US? It's not region free, good luck finding it though. Amazon has the region 2 version, but they are sold out of region 1 (along with everyone else it seems). Edit:. Sounds like both the US and UK versions are the same except for the UK rating on the discs (so both are region A/B). Several folks on Blu-ray forums have said this. mem fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Aug 22, 2020 |

There's probably for the best, it probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to drop so much money on it when I'm really only interested in the Heisei trilogy and Gamera the Brave. Don't get me wrong I like the Showa Gamera movies fine, I'm just not sure I care that much to own them. The 90s ones all kick rear end though.

I like it when the 4K disc comes with the blu-ray, 1. Because it’s kind of a legacy thing. Blu-rays did it while people transitioned from DVD and that was cool and 2. I only have one 4K setup in the apartment and the living room isn’t gunna be 4K compliant at least for another two years. So thats a BLu-ray only situation and it helps to have a copy of the movie in each format because of that.

Was not expecting the Gamera set to be so huge. It's the size of their Herschell Gordon Lewis box, and slightly bigger than the Bergman set. Since I don't have a great place for them they're all sitting next to each other, makes for an odd display.

Iron Crowned posted:How was the HDR? I don't know, but unless the guy at Best Buy or where ever was like "You need this cable." then he probably just connected his devices with an HDMI cable. And there's a 100% chance the movie was a DVD unless he was streaming it. But he's seen that movie more times than I could even put a number to so he definitely owns a copy.

My friend has every Sandler movie ever released on Blu-ray. He's a diehard fan, saw him perform live multiple times, including a version of what his last Netflix comedy special was. A few years ago, he borrowed me Zohan, and told me it would change my life. Somehow, we're still friends after this. In closing, the Blu-ray looks like washed out trash.

Isn't Zohan really insanely gross pro-IDF propaganda, or am I getting it mixed up/telephone-gaming it?

The blu ray is an install disc for my plex server to keep space somewhat under control, the UHD is for watching. Same deal as the DVD to BD transition, except then it was XBMC.

FYI, for those who are trying to get a hold of Arrow's Gamera set, I can confirm that the US edition is authored to be Region A/B, so I'd expect the UK edition to be the same.

My brother is just a manchild with awful taste. I've had to ask him over and over again to stop being causally homophobic (im gay) and it took me telling another member of my family that I might just cut him out of my life altogether (he also has a big toxic masculinity problem) to try harder. When I'd call him out on poo poo he'd always say "I'm from a different time.". He's four years older than me.

WeedlordGoku69 posted:Isn't Zohan really insanely gross pro-IDF propaganda, or am I getting it mixed up/telephone-gaming it? The opening scene is Zohan against some one-dimensional vaguely Middle Eastern Arab terrists, with a dramatic battle with the Head Evil MEA Terrorist guy, and just about every other scene is about how badass manly and insanely (bush) hung Zohan is while the MEA-coded taxidriver/RobSchneiderguy cries about Zohan stealing his goat.... But the climax of the film is the Palestinian/Israeli communities coming together to tell Trump to gently caress off, fight an attempt to dismantle their community, and a unity of Turturro & Sandler's characters to make The Sound, thereby achieving unity and peace between the two communities by way of gently caress White Americans. Zohan and Phantom also struggle in their roles as superheroic men of action when they prefer trades/sales in areas commonly less "macho" or prestigious, too. So there's also an aspect of the I/P conflict causing people to miss out on their life ambitions. Also Zohan hooks up with a Palestinian woman In some kind of "our two cultures just need love" thing. That might be gross.

Sandler films for me fall into ones that are great and can be watched multiple times, ones that I can grin and bear, and ones that don’t make it past the 5-15 minute mark and boy did Zohan aggressively fall into category 3. I remember watching with a bunch of people and not a single one wanted to keep watching.

So is the Arrow Gamera set gone for good, or is just a temporary thing? I had it preordered, but cancelled due to worries about the future of my employment, but I've since been offered a much better job, and now want to get this set... it's kind of gone everywhere.
