Seriously have you seen Of Unknown Origin? edit: The trailer, while hilarious, doesn't at all represent the movie or give you an idea of what it's about. The movie is Peter Weller by himself in a brownstone while his family is away going completely loving crazy because he's being tormented by a huge rat. For whatever reason the trailer makes it look like some sort of Poltergeist knockoff complete with a shot of the house looking spooky and glowing which is not even in the movie.

New Vinegar Syndromes: Dominique: Jean Simmons returns from the grave to avenge her death, from the director of Logan's Run, Around the World in 80 Days and Orca: The Killer Whale. In the Cold of the Night: Early 90's Man dreams of murdering women, hangs out with muscle dudes at the beach and holds a CD. Rated NC-17. The Suckling: The adventures of an aborted mutant sewer baby. beware amazing gross image: Fleshpot on 42nd Street: Grimy hardcore flick from the legendary Andy Milligan. *No screenshots uploaded* I remember this one from when they used to have a free downloads page. Hopefully it's not cleaned up at all, cause that was a beautifully scratchy print they transferred. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Feb 15, 2019 |

I will get whichever one carries over the Tony Wilson commentary from the R2 dvd, and I will get it the moment it becomes available to purchase. Love that movie so much, not least because it led me to discover Alan Partridge

Funny Games and Blue Velvet are no brainers. House of Games probably too. Haven’t seen it, but it’s David Mamet so it’s a safe bet.

The blue velvet Blu Ray is already really good and frequently goes for $6. I can't see myself double dipping for a Criterion release, though I like seeing more Lynch stuff on there, and the Revisited doc in the special features looks pretty great.

I was real close to buying that one in January because I found it in Best Buy’s budget bin. I had a feeling it would be getting a better release soon, so I’m glad to have waited.

Is the UHD of Fury Road worth the upgrade if I already have the blu? Sometimes I really feel like the only person in this thread without a postgraduate film school degree.

If the only think you care about is resolution, it's an upscale from 2k footage. But it's in HDR, which is the real tech upgrade from the past few years. So if you have a 4K player and an HDR capable display, it might be worth it. Ultimately it comes down to if that upgrade for that specific film is worthwhile to you.
|
# ? Feb 16, 2019 03:05 |

Fury Road is an interesting example because the HDR actually does change the look of some of the effects, and not necessarily for the better. It's rare to see a UHD where there is actually an argument that it's a downgrade, almost every other release has been at the very least a marginal upgrade.

Yeah, I've heard people say that it makes the CGI look cartoony, but I'd say it already does on the regular blu.

Does anyone know if any of Russ Meyer's stuff is coming to Blu? I watched Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, today (and loved it) but it looks like I missed the US Blu.

mallratcal posted:Does anyone know if any of Russ Meyer's stuff is coming to Blu? Highly doubtful. The Russ Meyer Trust (which controls the rights) is notorious for asking incredibly high license fees. They self produced the Faster Pussycat blu and, while it looked good, it was completely bare bones. Not even a menu. drat shame because something like Supervixens would look incredible on Blu-Ray.

I wonder if Arrow still has the rights to the Russ Meyer films in the UK. Their DVDs were stacked with great features and insane commentary tracks from Meyers.

Is this a sign of the market dying? They're not even just quitting selling Blu-Rays here, they're quitting selling Blu-Ray and UHD players here. 2 formats dying at once seems crazy, but simultaneously it makes a lot of sense. After streaming services got super popular, it was only a matter of time. The article does say this, though: quote:That said, other tech giants appear to be committed to Blu-ray. Both Sony and Panasonic showed off high-end players at CES, so Samsung's exit doesn't necessarily portend the end of your home theater.

I mean, I could see UHD biting it quicker than blu ray. A large install base of physical media since DVD has been reliant on inclusion in consoles, and the switch to 4K support as a part of a generation half step (One X/PS4 Pro, with UHD support confined to the xbox at the moment I think) means that another physical format with a lesser base in a market already decimated by streaming. But blu ray has the niche markets (which are sustainable, if microlabels like VinSyn et al are enough to go by), but that's probably not enough to satisfy an international conglomerate like Samsung. Doesn't Sony have some patent licensing on Blu? I could see Samsung going more in the direction of supporting streaming and developing proprietary software to be licensed for smart TV's (which also allows them to have all that tasty customer data, which is probably a much more valuable commodity than patents in this dystopic future hellscape)

I hope UHD doesn't die off quick. Between having a data cap on my internet, some movies (Disney) don't have 4K options on itunes, and the fact movies can just ranomly be removed from itunes and replaced with a pity rental makes me just rather stick with physical media. Plus I just like owning the movies still, as when I bought a bunch of movies last year using the Vudu disc to digital feature, it didn't feel all that special when compared to physically buying the movie.

Best Buy dedicates a pretty large portion of their physical movie space to 4K. The target audience for the format is not the people who are going to go for streaming. If anything, it will be like laserdisc - a niche product that's the best quality around.

Well, my local one has maybe 5 or 6 aisles dedicated to movies. It's a pretty small selection. But what I'm saying is that it sells well enough for Best Buy to still dedicate a portion of their limited shelf-space to it. If UHD wasn't doing well, you wouldn't see it in Target or Best Buy this long after the format came out.

It's about Sony for me, because they have Dolby Vision, so as long as they're still selling players I'm good. And that article said they just showed off a new model at some show recently so they're sticking with it at least for now.

The Best Buy in my area has a sad little corner of the store devoted to movies the vast majority of which are based on comic books. Side note: Netflix streaming's library is total garbage.

CPL593H posted:Side note: Netflix streaming's library is total garbage. There's also good content on HBO Go, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. But with the way things work, there is no one streaming service that lets you watch everything and that blows. Amassing a giant Blu-Ray collection is pretty much the only way to get close to having everything you want to watch at your disposal, but even then, a lot of titles have never been released on Blu-Ray so you'd still have an incomplete collection no matter how much you spent on it. It's not like DVD where literally everything was released on that format.
