Picked up Hannibal, Rules of Attraction, Almost Famous, and Robocop 2. I'm getting dangerously close to not having any DVDs in my library with all of these catalog titles rushing out lately.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind reviewed, finally: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Eternal-Sunshine-of-the-Spotless-Mind-Blu-ray/16770/ quote:After a showing on HD-DVD what seems like ages ago—April 2007—followed by a Japanese Blu-ray release that was snapped up by eager importers, Eternal Sunshine finally makes it to Blu-ray in the U.S. with a 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that's much better than merely acceptable but just shy of great. By and large, this is a satisfying high definition presentation and an immediately appreciable upgrade from the DVD. Clarity is not quite exemplary, but is certainly strong, with ample fine detail visible in the pores and whiskers on Jim Carrey's face, the patterns of cloth, and the textures and lines of in-focus background objects. Color also seems accurate to Gondry and cinematographer Ellen Kuras' intent, vacillating between warm early memories and the cold, ghostly palette of the flight through Joel's mind. (Of course, Clementine's ever-changing hair hues are always ultra-vibrant.) That said, there are a few minor issues that keep Eternal Sunshine from looking its best. Although grain appears entirely natural through much of the film, certain scenes have a slightly filtered, more artificial-looking quality—as if smoothed out with some light DNR—and there are also telltale traces of edge enhancement at times. Black levels also have a tendency to be a bit too dense, occasionally robbing the image of some of its shadow detail. However, none of these quibbles would keep me from picking up this disc. Eternal Sunshine still looks appropriately dreamy.

Fox guy talks Blu-Ray Star Wars: the two trilogy sets are four discs each (one for each movie + 1 bonus), the Complete Saga adds on an extra bonus disc. Original versions? "The versions that are being released are closest to George Lucas' vision. Other than that, no comment." The Abyss & True Lies: "either this year or the next"

I bought the UK LIFE box set and when I play it through my ps3 it says it's in 1080i, but on the back of the box it says its 1080p. I tried Inglorious Basterds and it said it's 1080/24p. Is there any reason for this? I'm new to the HDTV thing (got it and ps3 last november), so i just want to experience the best possible picture. It still looks amazing though.

Blodskur posted:It would've been shot in 1080i, because the UK broadcasting standard is 25 frames per second, which the HD spec can only do 1080i/25 and not 1080p/25, so you're getting the best the format can do. It's a 1080p25 encode flagged as 1080i50. It wouldn't look any different/better if the BluRay spec did 1080p25, the two fields get weaved together by the TV (2:2 pulldown). frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Feb 2, 2011 |

http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Twilight-Zone-Season-4-Blu-ray/14980 Season 3 is a couple weeks away from release, and Image has just announced Twilight Zone: Season 4 with a release date of May 17th. I wish other studios would do this with their TV shows. If I weren't already committed to buying every TZ release, it'd certainly make me feel more confident that I won't just buy a season or two before they cut support.

There's a niche crowd of stupid fat girls and pedophiles who feel the need to own every single possible Harry Potter release, even if it's a retread of what they already have.

All the books are being re-released with new covers as well, with the old ones being phased out. It's like Malibu Stacy's new hat.

Tony Danza Claus posted:Rules of Attraction comes out tuesday. Just watched this last night and it's the "Unrated" cut - which I believe is just the version released into UK theaters, though I could be wrong - and I'm a little let down that the American theatrical cut isn't included on the bluray. Scenes are moved around, the timing's off in some key scenes, there are alternate takes used (some with alternate dialogue), it's just not the same. I'll be hanging on to the DVD.

Honest Thief posted:Welp, that's one less item of my to-get list, might as well transfer my vhs to a dvd or something. Or just get the non-anamorphic DVD. It's not perfect, but still the best source for the original cuts out there. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Widescreen/dp/B000FQJAIW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1296694565&sr=8-5 They're at least progressive and have excellent compression.

Well, according to Amazon.ca, they WILL be releasing it by itself, but, there's no US confirmation for that yet. Either way, jesus christ I hope that ultimate edition isn't TOO much. I'm buying it even if it is, but gently caress.

If you're thinking about buying FLCL, the price just dropped to $24.99. I used the $20 Living Social gift card to knock it down in price.
