Only real gaffe in Shout's set is Nosferatu having a lot of noise reduction while it's perfect on the BFI set.

That's too bad, 'cause Nosferatu would be one of the main gets for me there.

The BFI set is exquisite, although I think some of the films are missing compared to the Shout set. I managed to get the BFI box for $80AU a while back and it's undoubtedly one of the best purchases I've made.

Yeah, the only thing I'd miss in the BFI set would be My Best Fiend, which has some wild footage. Not as essential as a nice cut of Nosferatu though.

Holy gently caress, Arrow is doing an extended edition release of Waterworld this December, I cannot loving believe it. An extended cut of Waterworld has been at the top of my “video release wish list” for ages, along with an extended edition of Event Horizon.

The best part about this is that the entire reason for that show was to sell toys.

Hey now, TMNT was a dark, bloody comic satire before it ever sold a single toy.

I'm well aware of that. But the comic book and the tv show are nothing alike and in fact the comic book was originally just a throw away joke about Frank Miller, the show was very explicitly made to sell toys as were most kids shows of the era. Many of them made the toys before a single frame of the show was ever produced. It'd be like if Crab People from South Park became a long running franchise for kids.

While we're on the subject of the best comic book movie ever made :colbert: , even if simply for the fact that Elias Koteas is Casey and Sam Rockwell is gang entrepenuer :allears:

Admittedly I'm biased because I'm just sick to death of hearing about the loving Ninja Turtles, but it's so far from being the best comic book adaptation that it's embarrassing. I'm not even saying it's a terrible movie, just that there are so many movies based on comic books that there are a huge number of better movies than that in this category.

No. Untrue. False. Tepid and bad opinion. Dispose.

Some stuff there is getting lost into the whites which I hope is just down to some bunk conversion back to SDR for the video. Check out the center of HAL here:

This will probably sound contradictory to what I said earlier, but I mostly don't give a poo poo what the box the movie comes in looks like. You see it for three seconds before you put the movie in, so who cares? It's nice when they look cool but it doesn't really enhance anything. Most steelbooks I see on Best Buy or where ever are loving goofy though and in the case of movies that have multiple releases it makes it a pain in the rear end to figure out which disc you're buying. I just avoid them because there's no incentive and sometimes they cost more money anyway.

I spend an inordinate amount of time arranging and rearranging discs like a loving psychopath, which means I see each one for at least 53 seconds every day.

Physical disc sales still make up 33% of household movie spending. It's not "dead".

BTW CD sales beat digital download sales last year.

It's dead in the way Latin is dead. Discs will never again see huge gains unless the internet literally stops existing.



Also, that link throws CDs and vinyl into the same category. CDs actually aren't selling for poo poo, it's vinyl that's outpacing DD. DD has been supplanted by streaming. Nobody is buying CDs tho

A picture that doesn't degrade, 5.1 for virtually everything, and widescreen for everything was so huge. DVD was a dream come true for me. Everything since has been extra.

That's funny. I liked DVD just fine but Blu Ray, to me, is like physical media perfected.

Also, floor space for physical media decreasing in physical retailers may say less about physical media purchases as a whole and more about the declining status of physical retailers as opposed to online shopping as a point of purchase for physical media.

Maybe, but Amazon is just replacing those B&M stores it killed with it's own B&M stores

On the other hand, the used market is probably gone forever. I guess people just pirate now instead.

Depends on where you live. We have great used stores in PDX

Buy some old rear end antique wooden milk crates, or just make something. Spice up your life. Stop arranging your domicile with the same old chinese pre-fabs.

That's sad. I'm just going to make isos of all the discs as soon as I get it, toss that on my media server so I don't have to change discs, and then put it on a shelf and never touch it again.
