Is the 4k of Blues Brothers much of an improvement over the standard bluray?

I have doubles, but only newer editions of movies I already had (The Blob, Drag Me to Hell, Deep Red, House by the Cemetery, so on), plus titles I've upgraded to UHD. The only movie I legit have two exact copies of is the Scream Factory edition of Plague of the Zombies, because I accidentally bought a second copy. It's still sealed and I'd be willing to trade for something I don't have that I want, like Falling Down, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Assassins (Stallone / Banderas movie), or something else. As for sharing my collection, it's huge and I don't know how to share my Blu-ray.com list (which isn't fully updated yet). Let's just say that in my place, it takes up an entire wall and I've had to Frankenstein some shelves to add extra space to hold everything. I have to do that again as I have a pile of new titles to sort. Movies and music are my hobbies, so I will never stop buying them.

Does blu-ray.com do anything for you, like suggestions based on what you own?

Good question, I mostly use it as a strict log of movies I own so I don’t accidentally buy something I already have  . I think you can use it to compare with other users and find matches with people who have similar tastes as you, something like that.

Here is my shelf    Top of the shelf and this is my unwatched pile  Except for Seinfeld, my roommate has been watching those. My roommate got it for me for Christmas after my old one collapsed under its own weight. I don't really recommend it because it takes up too much space for how much it holds.

Just got a notice from DiaboikDVD that my Sátántangó Blu-ray has shipped. Probably my most anticipated release of all time. I might watch it as the maiden voyage on my new TV, which is arriving tomorrow.

I can pre-order it today and PM someone the receipt if I get a promise to be Venmo'd the $40 then the shipping upon receiving it. Is that fair, or?

I'm reorganizing my discs at the moment and will have pics. Got enough titles to fill four BILLY bookcases... Indicator just announced their April slate; The Chalk Garden (Neame) Fatherland (Loach) Carla's Song (Loach) Irreversible (Noe) Irreversible is a slipcased limited edition with 80-page booklet, film is a new 4K remaster with new retrospective documentary. The two Loach films are region free. Basebf555 posted:I mean, it wasn't a particularly impressive lineup anyway. If you gave me a 20 film Hammer set that actually had some heavy hitters like Horror of Dracula, The Devil Rides Out, Hound of the Baskervilles, Plague of the Zombies, Quatermass and the Pit, etc. then I'd pay almost any price but this one is pretty much all second tier stuff. Which is par for the course with Hammer, the rights situation is all over the place. The Mill Creek set basically collects all the Sony-owned titles into one set. Indicator has released five 4-film sets in the UK so far (all but two titles owned by Sony). Warner has already released a few later ones and The Curse of Frankenstein just came out from Warner Archive in a deluxe 2-disc edition. They did a bare-bones Horror of Dracula last year, IIRC. Both off 4K masters and vastly improved over the StudioCanal UK editions. Likewise, Scream Factory has been releasing Blus of the Universal and Paramount Hammer titles, plus a few MGM. Twilight Time had The Hound of the Baskervilles, but it's been OOP for a while. Kino Lorber seems to be the one rescuing the most OOP TT titles lately. Shiroc posted:Is the 4k of Blues Brothers much of an improvement over the standard bluray? Even the Blu-ray looks pretty great, but the big improvement is having the theatrical and extended cuts seamlessly branched instead of as separate files, plus an upgrade from lossy DTS 5.1 to lossless DTS:X. Only nitpick would be that I wish they had included the theatrical 2.0, but the DTS:X mix sounds amazing. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jan 14, 2021 |

Yea I did pick up the Dracula: Prince of Darkness blu ray from Scream Factory this year and it's really nice. And I've heard really good things about that recent Curse of Frankenstein release. I guess I'm just resigned to the fact that I'm gonna have to build a Hammer collection piece by piece. The Frankenstein series is especially frustrating because the sequels frequently show up in various sets but never together and never with Curse of Frankenstein.

I got the udh of Godzilla King of the Monsters at Christmas. The Atmos sound track on it was good and was the first time I got to watch any of the movie feeling as big as the theater but it had some sound clipping crunch that was really obvious and distracting in my headphones. I tried another pair as well and I'm pretty sure it was a problem in the actual track, not both of my pairs of headphones. I switched over to the other audio track to watch it but it didn't have nearly the same low end. It was a bummer.

I would double-check what settings it’s using for that at least.

I used both my Arctis Pro wireless through its receiver (connected through USB to the PS5) and my Playstation Gold headphones directly connected to the PS5. Unless its the PS5 or the wireless connection on both causing the same thing at the same moments?

It certainly could be a mixing error on the PS5; we live in the future where nothing software-related is ever really done. Discs have errors from time to time too. Most likely it really is the audio track on the disc, but you may want to get someone to confirm it with a different set up to be totally sure.
