Yeah, James Cameron is a known idiot with a melted brain when it comes to this stuff. The only way we’re getting a decent 4K release is if he isn’t allowed to be involved

I noticed my digital copy of aliens on apple has a new thumbnail, which means it’s probably been converted to the 4K UHD version. I’m scared to watch it now with that obnoxiously blue tint over it in the screenshots up the thread. It’s quite surprisingly how Cameron wanted it that way, though.

Never saw the Terminator 2 UHD either. He messed that up too? :ohdear:

Edit: okay I just checked and that lovely blue tint is not near as bad as that screenshot. The faces do look kinda waxy in motion though

I don't think it looks terrible it's just not up to what you'd hope you'd get when one of the best action movies of all time comes to a new format. From what I've heard/seen of the True Lies UHD that's just a whole new level of terrible.

I have the 4 movie set after Salvation came out. Absolutely wild to me that I won’t be ditching it anytime soon.

Oh and Shout is having a Going out of Print sale. Big Trouble BD is one of the items… possible 4K incoming?

I bought that Super Mario Bros set and it just delivered yesterday. It is hilariously large, about half the size of the Scream Factory Friday the 13th set. I'm not even sure where to put it. It feels like a disservice to simply put it on my shelf between Sunshine and Suspiria.

Did you get a shipping notification? I've heard nothing since my initial order in January, though I did also chuck a few things in there since it's coming from Australia and maybe that's holding it up.

Yes. I got a notification from Australia Post when it shipped at the beginning of this month. So it was about 3 weeks of transit time. I only had one other thing in there just to get into free shipping.

The SkyNet Edition T2 bluray has one of my favorite commentary tracks. It's cut together from interviews from 26 people involved in the production and it'll jump between them in relevant spots, it's fully subtitled and they'll even give you a little portrait of who's speaking in the corner for some folks. It's a good time

Streets of fire 4k from shout is at its lowest price on Amazon ($19).

Been waiting for a good sale on this one, my dad made me watch this all the time as a kid and only now do I fully appreciate Willem dafoe in it.

Warner Archive 4 for $49 sale

My question is which blind buy should I eliminate from this order?

The Night of the Iguana
Straight Time
Bad Day at Black Rock
The Thin Man
The Man Who Would Be King

They all seem like movies I would like but I don’t need a $79 purchase so I’m trying to purge one.

No $5 bin other than just dvds, no blu rays in it. and the steelbooks are definitely not $5, all of them are on an endcap for $30.

The Substitute series seems like something that Vinegar Syndrome should put out but in reality it's going to be a Shout Factory website exclusive, each movie released separately, with no real extras and will cost $29.99 plus like $8 shipping. And I'll buy it because I'm a bozo and money is stupid.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
There weren't any $5 steelbies at my Walmart but there was an Oppenheimer 4k steelbook I went ahead and grabbed and a Jurassic Park one clearanced down to $15, so that was cool.

Straight Time is fantastic and has an incredible scene where a very young Jake Busey slugs his dad Gary Busey right in the face and the look he gives him you cannot convince me that punch wasn’t scripted.

No steel books at my Walmart, lots of collection sets. Plus special glow in the dark boxes for some stuff. The glow in the dark box riddick collection made sense, but not 4k.

Also had some dvds still going for $20...
