To be fair I meant this thread in general is a lot of money, not the Se7en BR specifically. Play has it on pre-order for £11.99, which is more than reasonable. No steelbook, though.

Assuming the average length of movies in your collection is an hour and a half, you have 112.5 days worth of watching, if you sat down and watched them contiguously. :psyduck:

DeepDiscount has a Kino sale. Battleship Potemkin, The General, and Steamboat Bill Jr. are all $15.

They also have a lot of good DVDs worth picking up like the Movies Begin set, which probably won't hit BluRay very soon.

I have about twenty five, maybe thirty. I didn't start buying BDs 'til we put together our first home theater setup and based it around a PS3, the last of the stuff showed up in December. After that, we just kind of buy what looks good. We have a lot of DVDs from the dark, before-time of non-HD, but who cares about DVDs anymore (I care, drat it, the PS3 has great upscaling and everything looks so pretty).

But I have a bunch of music gear, anyone want to trade good blu-rays for some rad boutique pedals? :v:

Hahaha! I have always loved this movie and never owned the $1 DVD copy that floated around dollar stores and Wal Marts for the last decade. After a few attempts to download it from archive.org I bought the blu-ray knowing full-well how awful it was. It truly is terrible, but I usually just listen to it when it's on anyway.

The narrative style is very interesting. It goes chronologically but it's very much about tying the past to the present and tying ideas together across time rather then telling the narrative of America in one linear story.

I found it very intriguing and at $35 it's definitely a blind buy.

As long as you watch all of them, and enjoy them, so what?

I will say, though, that I'm personally avoiding buying the Kill Bill Blu-Rays because I'm (foolishly) holding out hope that they release the single uncut version, with all the deleted scenes.

And I'd really love to have Crimson Tide. How much did you pay for it?

Kill Bill: TWBA is going to end up being home video's version of Chinese Democracy/Duke Nukem Forever.

I also just remembered that Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown were announced as coming out in a press release from like February 2009 :suicide:

I assumed Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill haven't happened because didn't the company who owns the I.P. for those movies, go under and is no longer around?

Also and i'm sure it's been mentioned already, but, don't get Robin Hood (the one with Russel Crowe) on blu-ray. I'm sure the blu-ray itself is fine, but the movie... :ohdear: I've always been a fan of Riddley Scott, but this film was a total turd.

No, Pulp Fiction is Miramax and Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Thing is The Weinstein Company.

Kill Bill theatrical cuts are Miramax. The Whole Bloody Affair is a Weinstein property. All in-development films left with the Weinsteins, and The Whole Bloody Affair was ruled as a separate entity from the theatricals, and it went along with the Weinsteins too.

Oh neat, so basically it's just a question of when QT gets off his rear end and puts the whole thing together for Sony? I wonder what it was that prompted them to release the complete Grindhouse, and if/when they'll find the same motivation to give us TWBA.

Some retailers have received a pre-order listing for a standalone Spider-Man blu-ray, set for November 16. No word yet on if it's the barebones release found in the trilogy set, just released separately, or if they re-added all of the extras. Hopefully if it's the latter, they also spruced up the transfer. The copy I have looked very flat and drab.

This could be cool. The trilogy release of Spider-Man 2 looked great, and 3 looked fantastic, but 1 looked a little plain comparatively.
