that 4K steelbook isn't actually a 4K UHD disc tho right? I see it popping up online from time to time for $50 and want to grab it, but I dunno if its actually a UHD or not and just a 4K transfer.

caligulamprey posted:All the marketing about The Prestige really should have revolved around the fact that it's a movie about two assholes pulling sick pranks on each other, which is really why it's the only Nolan film that I fully enjoy. I really want that UHD tho, goddamn that price. as for that boxset, I can't wait to buy some of those discs separately. Either through official channels or buying them individually, printing out covers and purchasing empty UHD boxes. I did that with that god awful TMNT boxset from awhile back with the chintzy carboard pizza box that was torn upon arrival and the awful hard plastic disc holders. dorium fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Apr 3, 2020 |

david_a posted:That would depend on being able to change the power on code for either player which I doubt is a feature. Perhaps you can try that HDMI control thing and have the TV turn on the relevant player when the input is selected? I have never ever gotten that to work for anything but maybe you’ll be lucky I had this issue for years. First time, out of the box, my current setup works like this for every single device including my bluetooth headphones and phone with no additional setup. it is heavenly.

david_a posted:Shout Factory sometimes takes forever to ship stuff even under normal conditions, right? My last two orders went through pretty well and had a quick turn around, but this third order is taking awhile and they broke up the order so I got 1 out of 4 movies I ordered and still waiting for notice of shipment on the rest. I also sell records on the side and noticed that the post office is taking a lot longer to get items into the system. So even if you do get a notice that things are moving forward with an order you might not even know the items are en route nail a day before they arrive (which happened to me with some other items I’m waiting on). It’s just another issue with Covid and the conditions that the Postal Service has to deal with (lack of funds being a big one). dorium fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Apr 19, 2020 |

I guess in an odd turn of luck, due to Covid-19 my dad is furloughed from his job for a while so he's at home looking for woodworking projects so I've commissioned work from him. He's already building me a coffee table and next I think may be a new tv stand/media shelf. I just gotta pay for material, but it'll be nice having hand made stuff for all my gear and movies.

Cemetry Gator posted:I'm confused. Is this secretly some amazing looking film? Am I about to experience Boats and Hos in a way I've never yet experienced it? Yep. It's quite good, tho the real comedy winner is Pineapple Express. That one is a pure 4K transfer (Step Brothers comes from a 2K finish to an upscale). https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Pineapple-Express-4K-Blu-ray/145675/ quote:"Stunning." Without having any previous experience with the movie, having neither seen it nor reviewed either of its previous Blu-ray releases, the immediate reaction to Sony's 2160p UHD/HDR Blu-ray is one of awe, awe at the image's robustness, stability, and even and endlessly attractive filmic veneer. Grain is constant and evenly distributed, gorgeously textured and a key in bringing a true cinematic flavor and experience to the home. Detailing underneath is nothing short of a revelation. Rogen's brown sports coat is particularly impressive, reveling fine stitch work, seams, and tiny flaws in every scene. His car interior, and Franco's character's home, are treasure troves of little details. Whether grime on the seatbelt, wear on the dashboard and steering wheel, or the definition with which tiny little trinkets in the home are revealed even as background details is amazing. Likewise, facial textures are precise and highly revealing even in medium shots. Very fine pores, facial hairs, and other skin textures are remarkably lifelike.

CPL593H posted:Did anyone else reach the point where they've decided that a good blu-ray is good enough? I have the Anchor Bay Dawn of the Dead blu-ray and it's actually quite good. For some odd reason it's been looked down on as a mediocre release and that's just not true. It even has a high rating on blu-ray.com. At this point I just don't give a poo poo about buying a new copy of the same movie every time there's a new scan and it's been touched by the hand of God. I don't just mean this for Dawn of the Dead but in general. The Anchor Bay release already looks better than the movie ever did prior to that point on video by far. Unless there's a drastic leap in quality I just can't be bothered anymore. I suppose it also matters way more to people with fancy rear end TVs and players, but I just have regular rear end stuff. However, I do know that this will be many people's first chance to get this movie on blu-ray so that's cool. On a related note, is there any word about Martin? That movie desperately needs a blu-ray release. I also consider it to be the better of the two movies as well. like Basebf555 said, case by case basis. Dawn of The Dead is one of those movies I will always keep an eye out for if a new scan or mastering comes out and for this one, probably blind pre-order based on the history of the company doing the work. For other movies that will probably be plentiful in their disc pressing numbers I'll wait and read some reviews. I'm definitely not going to replace all of my current blu-ray collection (my tracker says I'm past 500 and that's collecting since the format first started coming out), but new releases will be UHD off the bat and anything I have currently in my library will be case by case. Some of these UHD transfers dont come out so hot so I dont upgrade or maybe I poke around and see if there was a nicely done blu-ray copy out there. I just want to have the best possible quality of my favorite movies and the rest will kinda just be what I can get for the best quality/price.

that's definitely a big plus. I wont ever retire that ultimate edition dvd set because its cool as gently caress and i must've watched every cut of that movie a dozen times, but it'll be nice to have a UHD definitive edition of all the cuts of the movie.

Egbert Souse posted:It's getting scarce, but the UK 4-disc UHD limited edition of Blade Runner is the one to have. It's basically the 3-disc digibook reissue plus the UHD. All five cuts in 1080p plus the Final Cut in UHD, all the supplements plus a new one on the different versions. Packaged in a nice thick slipcase like Arrow and Indicator limited editions. I need to look for this thing. I’ve got the UHD final cut and the 5 disc blu-ray set. That’s probably enough but these extra supplements. Hmm.

Tokyo Drift is the salve that was much needed after 2 Fast. 4 is alright and is a crucial piece to the overall story as was stated earlier, but that tunnel chase is still pretty good I think. 5 and 7 tho, PEAK FF series. Splint Chesthair posted:Heads-up for anyone interested, the Flash Gordon UHD is up for preorder at Amazon for $20, marked down from $50. There are multiple listings for the same thing at various price points, so no clue what’s going on there. huh, I'm not even a huge fan of the movie, but I'll lock it in. That's a pretty good price for an Arrow release, a UHD no less. Also I may as well offer it here, but I was one of the folks who got left behind with Deep Discount over the Maniac UHD release (mine was delayed while they waited for a restock despite having a pre-order). I went ahead and ordered a copy on Amazon and it arrived and attempted to cancel my DD order, but they refused and said it would ship the next day. It did and it arrived. So now I got 2 copies of it. If anyone is interested I can sell it at $30 shipped. I paid roughly $35 so... yea if anyone is interested let me know. It's still in the original shipper, I'll just slap a new packaging slip on top and send it off. dorium fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jun 4, 2020 |
