doctor thodt posted:The Darjeeling Limited reviewed. Looks like there's a glitch on this one that may warrant a new pressing. I saw the pic with the supposed error, looks exactly like a lens flare.... Someone with the DVD said it was there as well. I mean, I guess good diligence to the reviewer for contacting Criterion about it, but I personally would have held the review until I got the response since the title doesn't come out for another month.

What the hell ever happened to Taxi Driver and Citizen Kane? Weren't they (more or less) officially announced at one point?

gently caress Citizen Kane, give me Touch of Evil (affordably priced) and we'll call it a day.

The difference is I still have those on DVD, but (foolishly) sold my copy of Kane when they said a BR was forthcoming.

FitFortDanga posted:What the hell ever happened to Taxi Driver and Citizen Kane? Weren't they (more or less) officially announced at one point? Neither was ever officially announced. Retailers had put listings up for Taxi Driver a few times, but Sony has never officially said a word, and Sony insider Penton at Blu-ray.com said those listings were erroneous. And WB has mentioned Citizen Kane in press releases as "Coming in 2011", but no official date either.

Darjeeling was shot anamorphic, which tends of have weird flares. See the Playboy concert scene in Apocalypse Now. It looks gorgeous. The DVD is still my reference for how far DVD can go when properly mastered.

Maybe Taxi Driver will be through Criterion now that Sony and Image are joint-producing stuff. Seconding the yearning for Welles in HD. The Trial is StudioCanal, so no hope for a Criterion. I'd like to see Universal try out Touch of Evil if just for having all three cuts on one disc. F for Fake would be a GREAT opportunity if just to include the original Reichenbach documentary as an extra and the restored trailer. Maybe even upgrade One Man Band and that trailer to 1080p, plus add the Masters of Cinema commentary. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Sep 20, 2010 |

I know like absolutely nothing about these "blue rays" and what have you, but... Region-free possibilities is really what's interesting me with blu-ray, since there are so few regions in the first place. And while alot of releases are region-free right now, I'm not sure I see that lasting for the long run. So I'm wondering if I bought a player that was region-free, and I had to update it to watch a movie, but that update also locked it out from being region-free...how much of a possibility is that? Would I be better off just buying region B and C players at some point? This is a dumb post but I don't know anything about this stuff. Being able to reliably delve into other region dvds while at the same time being able to play blu-rays is a pretty big draw for me, so I was just wondering.

Jack Does Jihad posted:I know like absolutely nothing about these "blue rays" and what have you, but... I can't speak for all players, as some may have region free capabilities via software holes or hacks, and those could be "fixed" with future firmwares. However, for the player I am using, that isn't a problem. I have the Oppo BDP-83, and there's a simple hardware mod to make it region free for both BDs and DVDs - just needed a screwdriver, no soldering or anything of the kind required. The software of the player is untouched, so any firmware upgrades go through fine and the player is still region-free afterwards. The player is a bit pricy, but it's also one of the best players out there even without the easy region-free modification, so I think it's worth it. They have a cheaper version, the BDP-80, that also has a region-free mod available, though some of the premium features of the actual player are dropped.

I posted earlier in the thread that my individual copies of Fellowship of the Ring and Two Towers from Amazon had digital copy discs (and no codes) in place of the special features dvds. I received my replacement shipment today and the exact same thing has occurred. Amazon is and has been no help in determining how this happened and to what magnitude, so I'm just chalking it up as a loss. Anyway, if you're going to buy the single releases of LOTR, buy from a B&M store. That's the only way you seem to be guaranteed to get what's promised on the back of the case.

I hope the trivia track is a bit less intrusive than on Shaun of the Dead. That crap covers like 1/4 of the screen with a giant black box. Hopefully these are not on a solid background like that, completely unnecessary.

Criminal Minded posted:Not a chance in hell. Scorsese loved the effect of the color change. The HD remaster used for Sony's 2-disc SE has better color throughout, but the shootout has more of a red/amber tint than the drained salmon tint. I'm not sure if it's how it originally looked or a byproduct of the old DVD having the wrong color timing. I recall a lot of early Sony DVDs having weird color timing (like Lawrence of Arabia's pink sand). Given Sony's ace track record and Scorsese usually participating in remasters, we'll at least know it'll be right when it comes out. ClydeUmney posted:Hell, I'd just settle for a copy of The Trial that didn't look like complete rear end. The StudioCanal DVD looks great. Besides ugly digital French credits, it's at least uncut and the image quality is excellent. It's ultra-rare, though. Optimum's DVD is 16x9, I think, but it apparently has the "Before the Law" prologue cut out. Citizen Kane will be a knock-out, no doubt. I just hope Warner also puts out The Magnificent Ambersons without making it DVD-only.

Bambi posted:Blu-Ray.com says The Karate Kid is a reference audio/video disc. No surprise coming from Sony. One thing that still confuses me for such a big-time site as Blu-ray.com is why all of their reviewers besides Dr. Svet Atanasov can't be bothered to actually check region codes, especially since they have a system for entering these prominently displayed on their site. Maybe they don't all have BD-ROM drives on their computers to make this easy, but can a reviewer really be considered legitimate without one?

Criminal Minded posted:Digital Bits interview with Lions Gate/American Zoetrope on Apocalypse Now Yeah, I only have my VHS version, but the film did always look a bit dark to me. The pictures on the second page of that link are even more dramatic (because it's a more pivotal scene). It's been about 10 years since I saw it last. I should probably look into this. ultraviolence123 posted:Return of the Living Dead is $10.49 at Amazon. Awesome! Thanks.
