The new packaging is way better, and since they sent it to me for free, I get to keep my Centurion action figure.

When I saw this I frantically searched the website to see if any of their titles I don't have are on sale, but alas, I'll have to keep searching for good deals on The Prowler, Dead & Buried, Uncle Sam, and the rest

I remember reading an article which had an interview with Criterion about how Armageddon was a part of the collection, and they said it was because all types of movies are represented in their collection, even the popcorn flicks, which The Rock and Armageddon represents.

GonSmithe posted:Ok, before I make a stupid decision, this: Right. However, be aware that there's a chance that it won't include the bonus DVD with all the special features. There's a lovely trend occurring among some studios right now where all/most of the special features are contained on a separate DVD, and this DVD is only limited to the first pressing of a given title. Even though The Evil Dead only came out a month ago, people are already getting copies that don't contain the DVD.

You'd think it'd be pretty goddamn simple, but apparently not. And then you have the chumps over at Vivendi who can't even be bothered to put a lossless audio track on Grindhouse with 8gb of free space on the loving disc.

I was wondering why the only special feature on The Evil Dead was a commentary. Was the extras disc in HD by any chance, or is it the same as previous releases? I'm a bit upset right now, but then again it was $10 vs the $18 I was about to pay on Amazon.

It doesn't carry over every last bonus feature from all the collective releases, but it does still have a ton of stuff.

Oldboy doesn't have lossless audio, while the standalone release that came first does. Palisades-Tartan was supposedly going to fix this, but it's been months and months now without a peep from them. Otherwise it's a nice set.

I can't imagine what could be wrong with the packaging... The first run (initally exclusive to Best Buy, later incorporated into the general release) came in a tin with a booklet. Inside were three normal BD cases. Subsequent runs feature the same 3 BD cases, but in a normal cardboard slip box instead of the tin, and presumably no booklet. The discs are, for the most part, fine. The only misstep is with Oldboy, which features only a lossy audio track instead of the lossless one found on the original Oldboy standalone BD release. This was presumably an error, according to initial communication with the company, and a replacement program was said to be in the works. However months have gone by and there has been no word - the employee who was in contact with fans has since said he still hopes to get it done, but he has less power in the situation than he initially thought he did. Still a great set in my opinion.

Pretty much emptied / will be emptying my bank account on titles this Tuesday. Beauty and the Beast, The Exorcist, Grindhouse, The Human Centipede, Troll 2 and some Roger Corman Cult Classic DVD releases from Shout Factory. Skipped the Bogart movies for now, as there's just too much coming out to buy everything, and it will make my mom happy to buy those for my Christmas presents vs any of the crazy genre titles I normally ask for.

Note to self: don't watch terrifying movie about nightmares by yourself in the middle of the night just before going to bed. Having said that, the Jacob's Ladder BD is pretty darn good, especially for the $10 I paid for it.

Is the blu-ray of Evil Dead 2 really bad? Review sites seem pretty evenly split on it. In spite of how good the ED1 transfer is supposed to be, I really prefer 2 as a movie.
