Although BrickSeek has been finding insane deals for videogames lately, it's never at a location near me.

None of my local WM or BB carry anything worthwhile outside of overpriced new releases, and never any boutique stuff. The dead Alive one was from like the early 2000’s, but at one point a couple years ago they had some shout factory stuff like big trouble in little China, and candyman.

Iron Crowned posted:Weirdly a year or so ago Walmart had a big stack of non-VS versions of The Rudy Ray Moore films. Seemed to have the same special features too I found the same thing at my local Walmart years ago, like a boxed set of all of Rudy Ray Moore's films. DVD though, not blu-ray. A Walmart in another town near me had a blu-ray of Paprika for like $9, which I didn't buy at the time and I wished that I had. Went ahead and bought it recently, finally. Brick and mortar stores are weird and fickle beasts. Never know what you'll find.

They're not bootlegs. Xenon Pictures has had the rights to distribute the Rudy Ray Moore Films for many years. They partnered with VS for those remasters and part of the deal was separately selling their own new versions with those same transfers. The only downside is the more generic cover art compared to the VS releases but they are quite a bit cheaper.

If you've got a PS3 it's easy to get custom software installed on there that will let you play any region blu-ray. If you don't, buying a used one will be way cheaper then a region free player. Look up PS3Hen and Multiman

I hope more of these movies get legitimate releases, but apparently, the rights situation to these things can be hosed and then political situation isn't getting better over there.

Speaking of rights clusterfucks, Second Sight just annouced they're going to delay their Martin UHD/blu-ray because they want to try and include the recently discovered director's cut. It is unfortunately in the hands of Richard Rubenstein.

Did anyone here actually get that second Columbia UHD set? What was the verdict on some of the stuff in the set? It's under $100 on Amazon right now and I have some unexpected cash so I'm tempted.

It's a really good set. It has a good selection of films, the shorts disc is pretty cool, and what's the chances that you can get those films individually?

It's definitely not moving the way the first one did. But yeah, I only have interest in Taxi Driver so I'll wait until 2025 or 2030 or whenever for a drat solo release. plz release LoA UHD standalone, Sony

The thing about that first set was I really only bought it for Lawrence, but the set was so consistently good that I ended up with several other UHDs that I'd consider top tier, like Gandhi and A League of Their Own. So that's what I'm considering with this set, I really only need Taxi Driver, but I'm guessing that when I see the others I'll be glad I took the plunge on the set.

I'm mostly annoyed about the inclusion of The Social Network because it's an upscale. I get that it's an award winner and from Fincher, but it just can't compare to those older films that have been so lovingly restored and setup to look gorgeous in native 4K. Thought I'm sure teh HDR looks great and it still looks great for an upscale.

The reviews on bluray.com definitely indicate that Social Network is the least impressive film in the set. All of the other ones have words like "stunner!" and "this is a revelation!" The review for Sense and Sensibility says "these greens may very well be the finest ever seen on a UHD disc"

I just found out about the Session 9 Limited Edition from Second Sight, but the discs are Region B only, which won't play in my Series X  Then again, the movie was shot on digital and the Shout Factory BD is probably looks just the same, so maybe I should buy one anyway just for that sweet rear end sleeve and the art cards. I loving love that movie

The second Columbia Classics box was worth it to me for finally having Oliver! (the Twilight Time release went OOP almost immediately), plus Taxi Driver and the shorts. I paid about $100 for each box, which comes out to about $15 a movie, which isn't a bad value at all. The shorts disc would have easily been worth a $24 preorder. One touch I like about the Columbia Classics UHDs is that they go out of their way to include both remixes and original mixes, which always bugs the hell out of me when it's overlooked. They also add missing features like trailers. The Social Network isn't just an upscale, but a new render since they fixed a few effects mistakes (mostly to do with titles), removed a PG-13 dub, and it's got an Atmos bump. Even the UHD disc art is designed to match the original Blu-rays. I wouldn't mind seeing them do a UHD "John Ford at Columbia" box that sort of mirrors the UK Indicator box, but adds Two Rode Together. All five of Ford's Columbia films have 4K restorations now

Homeybeef posted:4K wishlist? I don’t think it’s been formally announced but there was a rumor of a UHD box set for next year. Not sure how many movies it would include though (4? 6? 8?). Not sure I would personally upgrade that set for a variety of reasons - the Blu-Ray set looks very good, I already have Alien on UHD, Aliens used pretty noisy film stock for whatever reason, paying more money for Alien Resurrection, etc…

To be fair, Eastman 5294 (the high speed stock used for Aliens) was super grainy/noisy and the current Bluray transfer is what they got AFTER they put it through digital noise reduction.
