Basebf555 posted:So the bug scene is the new one then? That was a fun addition if so. The one in the pit with the giant millipedes? Nope that was theatrical too. I think you are just accurately remembering that whole action sequence as insanely long and bloated and rationally assuming that you must’ve seen some kind of extended version.

I just was off on which big effects sequence was added, it was actually this scene where they encounter like giant killer piranhas or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvd7hCzUU_E Not a particularly bad scene but yea the movie is so bloated as it is.

Based on premieres of new 4K restorations at Cannes Classics this year, we're probably getting these sometime this year... Seven Samurai - UHD already out in Japan, French UHD just announced. It's the 70th anniversary, too, so good chance Criterion does this before the end of the year. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg - Seems like an obvious UHD to release from Criterion The Sugarland Express - Universal has been putting out a lot of Spielberg in UHD, so this is probably coming in the fall. Paris, Texas - New restoration being shown, it's the 40th anniversary and Criterion's Blu is kind of old. Army of Shadows - New restoration, Criterion has already upgraded two Melvilles and it's the 55th anniversary Also looks like there's a major project between Steven Spielberg and Library of Congress to do 4K remasters of Frederick Wiseman's entire film-based works.

Eureka, heroes of physical media, are releasing Message from Space in a superior edition. Now I no longer have to debate on buying the oop / extremely expensive Scream Factory title that I slept on when it first came out.

That's amazing news! I'll have to snag that for sure. Is it only region B? More excuse for me to get a region-free player.

Maybe Discotek will get it too for region A - they carry the TV show, and something like this happened with Kamikaze Girls. Either way it's great that it has a new release. Such a cool, interesting movie.

Went a little nuts at the Kino Lorber sale, but got a nice copy of Hardcore (Schumacher riffed on this with 8MM), The Man On The Moon and the classic Chicago buddy cop comedy Running Scared. Locally there's this shop called Nickelflix and they sell Blu Rays for $4 unless it's a boutique - picked up Crazy People (which I never even knew had a Blu release) and the original Magnificent Seven.

While we're talking region free, does anyone have experience with region-free modchips? I've got an LG UBK80, and I've seen there's one out there for it. $80ish and a little solder sounds a hell of a lot better than $300 or so, to me.

Chris James 2 posted:Speaking of July announcements, The Man from UNCLE is obviously a Warner license, but the UK release of The Last Starfighter is, too! It was a Lorimar coproduction with Universal, who only own the North American rights. Apparently, this is the first time it's been on disc in the UK - I can't find anything for a UK laserdisc or DVD. One bit of warning, though - a few extras are being left off compared to the US edition because they were produced by Universal for their own DVD/laserdisc editions.

Looks like Taxi Drive 4K standalone is coming. So about a 3 year rotation after the Columbia set? Same as Lawrence, I think.
