Amazon has a preorder up for the 4K of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There was an article on the restoration team and they want to do Fantasia, Alice in Wonderland, and Sleeping Beauty next. The Sword in the Stone and The Black Cauldron are already ready to go (4K Dolby Vision on Disney+)

The 2010 Blu-ray actually has extremely good repainting so that there's not actually any footage cut out. It's occasionally awkwardly framed at times, but good for them finally doing that instead of zooming, cropping, and trimming.

Besides looking more like film, I'll be happy as long as they put back Deems Taylor's voice (how hard would it be to use AI synthesis to fill in the missing dialogue?) and perhaps offer multiple sound mix options. I have a bootleg with the 4-track stereo mix from the 50s and the 40s mono mix and both sound quite good.

This is the Disney era that I've been waiting for with the 4k releases. I get why they started with Toy Story and Lion King and all that stuff but I'm really looking forward to Sword in the Stone and Sleeping Beauty.

I'm pretty happy with my Beauty & The Beast Blu-Ray but i won't pretend I wouldn't be interested in it, Hercules, and Tarzan (as unlikely as that is).

Also, after seeing Bottoms in theaters, I immediately went to Blu-ray.com and signed up for physical release notifications. I'm hoping that it gets a cool Best Buy release, but I'll take anything really.

I missed the preorder window on it[Sleepy Hollow] so I was stuck seeing what stores got copies. My hometown had a copy so I ordered it and asked my mom to go pick it up. This is the second time this has happened.

it seems like most best buys get 2 copies of store-exclusive steels, and google says they have about 1000 stores in the US..how are boutiques getting larger print runs of things at 5,000 copies and up than a giant retailer..

Gruv.com has the preorder of Universal's third and final collection of Hitchcock UHDs:
https://www.gruv.com/product/the_alfred_hitchcock_classics_collection_4k_ultra_hd_blu_ray_uhd

Only $55, which comes out to $11 each, which is a steal. They also have individual releases available for $20 each.

Includes Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much '56, Torn Curtain, Topaz, and Frenzy. Seems like all the DVD/Blu-ray extras are carried over, with the one new addition is a featurette on the new restoration of The Man Who Knew Too Much (which received a full-blown Vertigo sort of restoration from the VistaVision camera negative and color separations).

If you haven't picked up the other volumes, the first is only $40 (including Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds) and second only $50 (including Saboteur, Shadow of a Doubt, The Trouble with Harry, Marnie, and Family Plot).



(And if you haven't preordered from Gruv before, they're run by SDS, the joint home video distribution between Warner and Universal, and have excellent service)

Sometimes it seems to work out fine, or they drop more copies later. But Sleepy Hollow has more widespread appeal than say Howard the Duck, so I didn’t want to take chances.

BB is getting an American Graffiti steelbook in November. I really hope they learned their lesson and didn’t DNR the gently caress out of it like they did the Blu-ray.

Eh, they did poor packing the second time I bought a Hitch set from them (late 2022). First time (early 2022) was shipped in box, second was a padded envelope. Better than dealing with Amazon but that's a low bar. Hopefully they've improved.

I'll probably pick it up from someone around BF, assuming I still have any money by then.

Any idea if this is newly remastered from the original film or if it's using the same PAL source as the last blu?

Also, God, I'd love them to re-render the effects but I know there is 0 chance of that.

I see it's just the 8 discs, I assume it's a basic multi-disc snap case? Is there much to speak of for bonus features?
14 movies for $150 is a good deal, for sure, but I don't know if I'd rather just go for smaller or more boutique collections for stuff like Hitchcock. I know there's got to be great commentary and featurettes out there.

My brother have you seen what VistaVision looks like in 4K???

Also no, they use a book-like packaging with sleeves on the outside edges. One side blu-ray, the other 4k. And I think a lot do include commentaries but the only one I've listened to so far is for Vertigo.

Yet it probably still has a better chance of a 4K being put out than a soundtrack reissue on vinyl that I've been dreaming about for a decade.

I watched this with some friends in the past month or two, and it was pretty watchable! Well, maybe a strong word, but it's a pretty smooth ride of an entertaining dumb modern studio B-movie. Maybe we were just in the right mood. It's no Death Wish 3 of course.

Boywhiz88 posted:

That movie is from 2018, he did about a zillion since then, but I'll say it's some solid Bruce. It's no Moonlighting (I marathoned that show recently - so good), but it's some Bruce. Worth a Bruce.

Well this is kinda bizarre. A Paramount horror set with Rosemary's Baby, Salem's Lot, Smile, Crawl, and a MYSTERY FILM.

It says that the mystery film is a "fan favorite" that has never had a 4k release before. Seems like we should be able to crack this one considering it has to be Paramount.

Edit: It also says the mystery film "delivers suspense and surprise". My first guess was The Sixth Sense because it's known for a twist but it's not Paramount.
