I love how the cut labeled "The Unbearably Long Self-Indulging Director's Cut" clocks in at at 2 hours. Simpler times back then.

It's the only version to watch, really.

Watching it on Netflix was bizarre, it almost felt like a highlight reel. It's so much funnier when stuff like the Brian Wilson-style concerto section has time to breathe.

The “directors cut” of Terminator Salvation is only 45 seconds longer than the theatrical. The only change is there’s a bit where Moon Bloodgood is topless that the studio demanded be cut. I read there was a press conference where the douchey director loudly asked everyone there something along the lines of “Who wants to see Moon’s tits?!” While she was sitting next to him.

I don't think it's possible for anyone who calls themselves "McG" to not be a douche.

This movie has gotten several really nice releases, but not one of them has included a drat ending!

If their other releases are an indication they'll probably have a standard edition at half the price, unless you want the booklet and stuff

My Years of Lead box set arrived. Here's a picture of it in between the Heisei Gamera box set and the Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion box set. See if you can pick up on what's different.



If anybody bought this at a store instead of during the flash sale, can you tell me if your copy is like this too? Or did they make this lovely box special for the flash sale like how all the super cheap Black Friday TVs are all cheap garbage made only to be sold on Black Friday

That’s actually weird, since I’ve never had any issues with them ever, and everything I’ve asked them to ship to NZ has arrived reasonably quickly, and in one piece.

I just looked at my Arrow sets both limited and standard and the only one that doesn't have the sturdy cardboard is the standard HGL set. Looks exactly like that Years of Lead.

huh. finally got my donnie darko box and it...came with a replacement 4k disc. turns out the 4k disc sent with the box itself had massive skipping issues, and they had to replace everyone's 4k disc. there's a whole replacement program for it if you had already bought it a while ago and need the fixed disc.

hadn't seen that before, but good on arrow.

Can't show a concrete example, but when I was ripping my non-4K blus with makemkv, it was pretty common to see two sources: one with many languages of audio tracks, and the other with only English and Japanese, just like OP described. I even considered ripping only the second source, as I was going to study Japanese. I don't know why the disks were set up this way, and would be curious to find out, too.

If I had to wager a guess it has something to do with Japan being part of Region A

You really have to pay attention with Arrow to the differentiation between their nice limited edition boxes and non-limited ones that come in those lovely boxes. I got got the same way when I ordered a Daimaijin set on sale thinking it was a great deal but it was the exact same thing. Then I had to find an actual limited edition set and order it again.

It's that.

Here's an example:

Two seemingly identical titles:


Title 1 has playlist 801.mpls, and only EN/JP:


Title 2 has playlist 800.mpls, and EN/ES/FR


Everything else looks identical. I googled for it and found a couple sparse reddit posts of people noticing the same thing, and nobody seems to know why it exists this way. One person posted that you can get to the other playlist by setting your blu ray player's menu language to japanese, and then the JP language option shows under languages (along with EN)

No idea why it's separated that way though! Slightly annoying because I bet i have ripped some of the JP ones instead of western languages which would be preferable for my HT purposes. Anyway.

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
I got all deez at a thrift store:



Cat O' Nine Tails and X are still sealed. Among other things there was a copy of Prince of Darkness, Get Out, and the entire Halloween series. Prince of Darkness and Get out were still sealed too. I also got The Batman ( which was also still sealed) because gently caress it, four bucks. I didn't buy those other things because I have them already (except for every Halloween after III because I don't want them). Looks like someone with a lot of disposable income just got a UHD player. I've been meaning to upgrade to blu-ray for The Thing as well so this was a good score. Very rarely does anyone with taste dump their blu-rays at Savers.
