$70 is about the cost of a couple of the individual sets so yeah it's a good deal. People already whined about the duplication between the individual sets. Of course if there was no duplication they'd be whining that they had to buy a set they didn't want for one movie.

I was really annoyed about a decade ago when they decided to split up TMNT season release on DVD into 4 parts, and packaged each with an action figure. Sure I was a guy in my 20s buying a kids show on DVD, but I have to draw a line somewhere.

The Vestron releases I own, Chopping Mall and Waxwork collection, are really nice. I have Dagon and Class of 1999 now too, and I'm sure they're good too.CPL593H posted:The best part about this is that the entire reason for that show was to sell toys.

Spatulater bro! posted:For me it's kinda both. Obviously I love watching movies, but I also buy for the aesthetics and collectibility of the item itself. For example there's no practical reason why I needed to buy the Arrow limited edition of Re-animator with the fancy comic book and the lobby cards when I could have just waited for the standard edition. Or just watched the DVD I already own.

My DeepDiscount Vestron copy of Class of 1999 showed up without a slipcover. I'm not particularly upset but be advised if that's something you care about.

My collection isn't massive, but I'll probably only rebuy UHD for stuff that I really really love. Blu-ray is a barely compromised home format in my opinion. Nearly as good seeing something in a theater.

The only legit copy belonged to Carrie Fisher. She made getting it a condition of shooting some stuff for a DVD special features section. She claimed she liked to put it on at the end of parties when she wanted people to leave.

If I bought every movie I liked enough to own it I probably wouldn't get past 1,500. Anyone with a collection that size has a lot of poo poo just to have it.

I bought the 4 disc Blade Runner 4K set, and am absolutely blown away by it. It looks and sounds amazing. It helps that my previous experience with the film was with the 2007 Collector's Edition DVDs, and no surround sound. That was probably the first movie I bought with the money from my first real job.

Well I'm buying at least 4 of those. 2 for the second time. Lawrence of Arabia took forever to get a Blu-ray release, and now I'll probably replace it next year.

Not that Terminator Salvation was a good movie as is, but the "director's cut" only adds something like 40 seconds, and it's just Moon Bloodgood showing her boobs. The director, who insists on going by a stupid acronym which I refuse to use, had a press conference about it. He got up on stage next to her and excitedly asked "Who here wants to see Moon's tits?"

Samuel Clemens posted:Kingdom of Heaven It's a shame that his last couple of attempts at historical epics haven't worked out. Actually kind of tempted to buy Exodus: Gods and Kings. It's a mess, and it's got that whitewashing controversy, but it's an interesting mess.

The Hobbit is roughly 300 pages long. The Lord of the Rings is about 1200 pages in total. The former should not take the same amount of time to tell a story a quarter the length of the latter. They were a bloated mess and I have no desire to own them. Once in the theater was more than enough.

Amazonbasics or Monoprice cables should be up to the most recent standard and will be cheaper than anything you buy in a physical store.

There are three movies that I've heard make really good use of 3D. Hugo, The Adventures of Tintin, and The Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Haven't seen any of them in 3D.

In all seriousness. Some amalgamation of genre, director, series order. I have the 2011 The Thing right after my Scream Factory Blu of the The Thing. Technically it should come first but whatever. It looks silly sitting in the middle of a bunch of steel cases but whatever.

RichterIX posted:Yeah, the theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven is trash. It's probably the starkest example (maybe the only example) of a movie going from complete garbage in the theater to really really good at home release. I bring it up every time theatrical vs director's cut comes up, but the DC for Terminator: Salvation is only about 45 seconds longer than the theatrical cut, and all it does is lengthen a scene so you get to see Moon Bloodgood's boobs. The director had a press conference where he whined about the studio telling him to cut it, and then loudly asking everyone present "Who here wants to see Moon's tits" while she stood next to him uncomfortably. What a douche.
