Yeah, that’s a ridiculously good list. And that’s just one little label! At the same time, thankful I can space out the slow leeching of my dollars to physical media.

I loved Mystery Men when it came out. I've seen it maybe four or five more times since 1999 and each time felt like playing Russian Roulette. "Is it going to hold up this time?" CLICK. Buying it in 1080p is just putting another round in the chamber.

This is weirder than that though, because you have the Showtime series in the set as well. So you have the entire Ash story except for this one chunk missing in the middle. I can't remember, did they ever do a Phantasm set that had Phantasm 2(which has a messy situation with the rights) missing? Because that's a similar situation and there's no way I'd ever buy a Phantasm set without 2 in it.

I just rewatched Phantasm 2 last night, best in the series. I’d be more likely to buy a box set that is just Phantasm 2 than I would a set of the other 4 movies.

Sometimes I watch a movie and there's a joke that feels like it's in there for me. The real life music group the Goodie Mob being a supervillain group called the Not So Goodie Mob in Mystery Men is one of those jokes.

I jumped on the Arrow Dune release despite not having a 4k TV or player- mostly for the gewgaws, but the included Blu-Ray is still actually an upgrade from Universal's. There some of the color grading felt not-right, here it feels a little more... balanced? The reds are stronger, especially in Arrakeen, and in general I notice a lot more detail. And of course all the extra stuff is nice. It's a shame they couldn't get the TV cut, even if it's not very good, because the deleted scene doc specifically doesn't include anything that was in the TV version. (Plus it's just an interesting curiosity, with all the weird poo poo they did to try and add exposition.)

Fixins posted:Surprised DVDs are still so popular I cant think of another piece of entertainment tech so ubiquitous than the DVD player. Especially going for 25 years now, its just wild how common and known it is. It is probably the last total saturation physical media playback option. I doubt blu-ray or UHD ever catches on at that level, let alone some mythical 8K media. that's just never going to happen I think or be anything more than just demo discs and natively shot products (nature documentary's primarily).

Same reason the Switch gets away with Xbox360-tier graphics - if you cross the "good enough" line there's not much pain in just staying there.

I own like two UHDs (with the blu rays included) and I bought them for the updated transfer, not necessarily for the UHD part. I don't have a UHD player and don't know if I ever will?  I said the same thing about blu ray several years ago though, so who knows.

Something really special I'll splash out for the UHD, or I'll get something on sale, but for most things...a well-made Blu-ray looks real drat good. I've got some movies where I have the Bluray next to the DVD and I'm looking at the Bluray like "why aren't you this nice?" Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown come to mind.

Yea I think that for the most part, and obviously there are top tier UHDs that are exceptions, the value of UHD is that so many blu rays were either mediocre or legitimately bad. So I have a decent number of UHDs that I probably wouldn't have felt the need to buy if not for the fact that the previous blu ray was just not impressive at all(Predator comes to mind). By the time UHD became a thing, it seems that lessons had been learned about what people who still buy physical media want, and so the mistakes of the past aren't as common anymore which makes UHDs a more consistently high quality format compared to blu ray where there was a ton of junky stuff out there.

There’s things I like enough to own that I probably wouldn’t bother upgrading to UHD if I already have the Blu-ray. But going forward I’ll probably just buy UHDs if they’re available. I kind of figure a lot of what I own is obscure enough that it won’t get to UHD. But I was surprised a few times when stuff that slipped DVD made it to Blu.

Yea when I buy something new these days it's always UHD if that's an option because it's like why not? For example, I bought the upcoming Halloween 4 and 5 UHDs but I didn't bother with 2 or 3 because I already own those on blu ray and I'm not really that certain the UHDs will be a drastic upgrade. You almost always get at least a little incremental boost in color depth with a UHD but when you're paying close to $30 you want a bit more than that.

I’ll probably buy 2 & 3 pretty soon here. Never seen either but it sounds like 2 isn’t too bad and 3 is its own thing and kinda owns. I already have the UHD from a couple years back, so I’m gonna wait for the reviews. Probably won’t be worth upgrading but honestly, I have no issues with doing as much if it is a better overall version, and not just colors.

I did some light digging into the matter and apart from maybe one release, Cundy has overseen every transfer since Laserdisc and with each step there was always an element that fans hated that he would go back to in the next transfer and redo or retouch and you would see an upgrade in the new release. Since he oversaw the Universal UHD release I'm sure whatever changes he made were done in respect to the reviews the Universal one received that the Shout release will reap the benefits of.

Hell, the last physical media purchase I made included four DVDs. In my defense, I can't see how you can get Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes from the 90's in UHD.

Is there an affordable and reliable introductory UHD player? The cheapest Panasonic that fits what I'm looking for has a lot of people saying it's unreliable junk, and a lot of players are still surprisingly expensive. All I need is disc play (no streaming) with HDR10/10+ (my tv doesn't do Dolby Vision).

I've seen it dip to $150 at its lowest price during BF.
