Like how LotR got a steelbook set, a single-case set, and then a four case plastic set? That's my best guess, since there are three different designs for it, as of now.

Iron Crowned posted:What's supposed to be wrong with the Mummy? The cardboard sleeves are too tight, so when you take the discs in and out they're very likely to scratch. Making matters even worse, once the discs actually do go into the sleeves they actually get jostled around in there pretty easily so a lot of people's discs were already pre-scratched by the time they got the set delivered to them. It's like the worst possible combination of tough to get the disc into the sleeve but once it's in there it has room to float around and get all scratched up.

So does UHD blu-ray lose the seemingly impenetrable coating that regular blu-ray had?

If I were to wager a guess, it's the same coating but UHD likely spins at a higher rate than a standard Bluray, so it wears out quicker.

Against all odds WW84 is getting a US 3D release. I preordered it and it won't even be close to the worst movie I've bought in 3d lol. I can't believe anything got a 3d home release in 2021. Wish tvs would start being released with 3d again.

I was gonna watch it on my parent's 3D TV, but they haven't used the 3D format in so long, they only had one working pair of glasses, and the battery was dead.

Realistically, I don’t think even kids were that into it upon release. I’m a big Indy fan and I was pretty ambivalent about it when it came out, but I’ve softened on it over the years and now I find more in it to enjoy than hate. Yeah, Mutt sucks, almost every single Mutt thing sucks and it does drag the film down in parts. But the opening bit is solid (until the rocket sled) and the campus chase is great. Marion relationship weirdness aside, it’s nice to see Karen Allen in an Indy movie again. John Hurt and Ray Winstone turn in fun performances and Cate Blanchett is just devouring scenery. I dunno, I just don’t really think it deserves the amount of scorn still heaped upon it by the internet 13 years on and most of it has to originate with the admittedly stupid fridge nuking that turned into a meme afterward. I also think part of it was just people expecting a 4th 30’s adventure serial when Lucas was trying to make a 50’s b-movie instead. They should have just given it the title of their original proposed 90s film, Indiana Jones and The Saucermen from Mars. It’s goofy as poo poo but it gets the “this is a b-movie!” point across a lot clearer.

The only 4k discs I've had problems with are both steel cases. The Meg and Wonder Woman (both Warner Bros). The Meg is unplayable (skips and halts starting from very early in the movie), disc doesn't look damaged either. I've tried the disc in both an xbox one and my ub820. Wonder Woman starts skipping bad around the time she trucks the church building, again no noticable damage to the disc. I normally don't do steel books but I think both of those were Christmas presents or something.

Indy 4 is bad. It has some really interesting things going on from a surface level because it had a lot of interesting ideas added from interesting writers over the years in its various incarnations. On paper the bullet points are great, because Lucas nailed the ways in which Indy should evolve over the decades. But it's a terrible empty soulless film with nothing under the hood and it's at the end of the day a product. It has moments of "Huh, this is kinda fun!" like the campus chase, but even those are more about what it's trying for rather than what it is. Read the unproduced Saucermen from Mars or City of the Gods to get a much better sense of what could have been. Neither are great, but they are first drafts with so much potential.

I'm one of those weirdos who likes Crystal fine (it's okay, not great) and doesn't care for Last Crusade at all. Connery is good though. I guess it's because I didn't see the movies when I was young so I never took them in the same way a lot of other people did.

The coolest idea Lucas had for Crystal Skull was to shift the era of pulpy fiction they were riffing on to match the decade. So the next Indy movie should be Indiana Jones and the Master of the Flying Guillotine.

Yea I never understood the complaints about the alien plotline, it felt totally appropriate for them to take it in that direction. The flaws of the movie have nothing to do with that.

ToD is a few trims away from being Really Good. Cut some of the tedious comedic relief, cut some of the more overt racism, and you've got yourself a fun time at the movies. Of course, that would still leave you with the two core problems of the script: the racist premise (or at least, the execution of that premise), and Willie intentionally being written as obnoxious. So I can't fault anyone for not digging it, but I think it gets so much right that I can have a fun time watching it.

Temple of Doom has the nightclub scene and the mine-car chase, both of which are much better than anything in Crystal Skull.
