Bambi posted:Pretty sure nobody at Oscilloscope has ever actually seen a Blu-Ray before. I mean really, is all of this necessary? A regular blue case will do just fine. Oscilloscope always likes to do cool art and stuff on their packages. All of their cases are like that.

It still sucks. The only other individual movie I have out of hundreds that doesn't come in a normal case (other than digibooks) is Close Encounters, and that was released in 2007 so at least there's an excuse. I guess it's a small gripe in the grand scheme of things though, especially considering the caliber of the movie.

So, a film by the name of Outlander came out on Blu-Ray today. I had never heard of it before, but it appears to star James Caviezel as an alien who crash-lands on earth and helps a bunch of vikings kill another alien. Now, this seems like a pretty high concept to me, but reviews are mixed: 39% on RottenTomatoes, 6.4 on imdb. What do you say, goons? A fun little romp, or just more trash?

I watched it several months ago, and although it's not the worst movie I have ever seen I don't think I could justify buying it on Bluray. There were some parts that I liked a lot but for the most part it's just a B quality scifi film. My recommendation is to try and get it off amazon for really cheap or wait until it's really cheap. Basically I wouldn't pay full price but if I picked it up for cheap I would be ok with it.

Watched The Road on Blu this past weekend, and it's quite nice looking. Very crisp, haunting visuals that look great in HD.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/?tag=bluraynews-20 Amazon has the UCE of Woodstock on sale for $27.00 Wal-Mart had a "just the discs" release for a short time for $30. I cannot recommend this release enough... great film (regardless if you're into the culture or music), great presentation, and hours of extra performances.

WB/BBC are releasing Wonders of the Solar System on 9/7, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is getting a new release on 7/27. The only differences seem to be that the new disc has an additional commentary track and a different audio codec (TrueHD versus uncompressed PCM - weird decision). e: releaselists is showing an 8/24 release for Shogun Assassin Bambi fucked around with this message at 21:57 on May 19, 2010 |

So Crouching Tiger is finally being released as a stand alone? I've been waiting for quite a while to own it on blu.

Huh, that's really weird. They must have removed it, because I definitely bought it directly from Amazon for $18 last month. Blu-Ray.com says the release date was March 23.

With any luck, they'll use the theatrical subtitles for the new Crouching Tiger BD. Though I wouldn't count on it, unfortunately.

I watched the it on the recommendation of a goon whose opinions I trust implicitly, and I don't think I've ever seen such a remarkable turnaround from "nearly unwatchable" to "remarkably awesome" in my life. It becomes an entirely different show after the pilot, and then again after the 4th or 5th episode, and both times for the better. Check it out.

We need to add to the thread title "REMOVE THE loving GRAIN!  " Since that seems to have become a very common complaint among way to many blu-ray buyers. Luckily no one on here.

More info here: http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/05/19/exclusive-glee-season-1-dvd-first-look/ A $10.00 rebate ("Gleebate") if you bought the "Road to Sectionals" DVD. Still loving steep, though. What does that translate to in Amazon pre-order price? Somewhere around $55?

I thought the film was really great! I did not know it wasn't already out on BD because I was looking for it locally. My local selections are getting pretty slim to be honest and I'm going to end up going to Amazon soon.

Glee's always going to be high because of the music rights. At least it's not $120 or something godawful like it was for American Dreams.
