Who would buy that poo poo at this point. Every release is more hosed than the last. They've literally gone from "I can't believe these visual effects were achieved in the 70's, holy poo poo!" to "why does this crappy CGI-driven movie look like it was filmed in the 70's?" He's finally hosed them so hard there's nothing left to enjoy unless you want to laugh at yourself for once enjoying these shitheaps. Motherfucker ought to be ashamed of himself.

Red posted:Big Trouble in Little China finally dropped to $10 at Wal-Mart, in case you've been waiting for that one to go on sale. I'm pretty sure I saw it for $7.99 at Target last week too. I'll check again next time I'm there. All the stuff Target's had at 10 bucks on their bargain rack is now $7.99, like Speed and Super Troopers (which is a surprisingly great transfer). Prices be droppin' and I'm a happy camper.

Breakfast at Tiffany's looks pretty drat good. (and it looks like DVDBeaver are back to inaccurate, blurry screenshots) ...and the 2002 Special Edition of ET will not be on the Blu-Ray release. quote:ET Blu-Ray: It’s coming. Spielberg said he wanted to poll the audience. He asked us if there was anybody in the crowd that would be disappointed if the 2002 Special Edition was not included on the Blu, if it was only the original 1982 version. He was greeted with a roaring “No!” from the crowd and said, “Well, that settles it then.” So, he strongly implied the ET Blu-Ray will be the original theatrical cut only and not even include the gun-less, penis breath-less CGI’d ET version.

Cancelled the Star Wars set  Maybe if they see enough cancellations or low sales, Lucas will rethink the stupid "one edition" mentality. Looking forward to more Spielberg. I think the 2002 edition of E.T. should be included as an extra, but that's awesome that he's fine with omitting it entirely.

Egbert Souse posted:Cancelled the Star Wars set You are one of the few. Blu-Ray.com reiew posted:Here's the thing; ever since the The Complete Saga was announced, I was aware of the controversies, I had a hunch the original trilogy wouldn't be included in its untouched state, and I knew any new changes were going to be debated far and wide. This left me rather indifferent to the whole idea of revisiting Star Wars. But when I actually got the set in my hands, something changed. At pains of sounding like a sap, I started to feel that inner childhood giddiness bubbling up. And then, when I popped A New Hope into my Blu-ray player and heard John William's iconic fanfare over that familiar yellow text crawl, it hit me—I wasn't going to let any residual bitterness over George Lucas' endless alterations bother me. I was going to have a blast watching these films. And I did. Sure, there were moments when I winced the wince of a man getting a cavity filled without anesthetic, and yes, I still think the prequels—for the most part—are a monumental disappointment, but given the choice between a Star Wars that isn't exactly to my liking and no Star Wars at all, I've decided to be happy with the former and bide my time.

Still, I decided $90 is too much considering the prequels aren't films I plan on revisiting much. I would have kept the original trilogy on pre-order if the extras were not exclusive to the 9-disc set.

I grabbed the Citizen Kane digibook at Best Buy today, and for anyone wondering about discs it's a 2 disc set: the Citizen Kane blu-ray, and a dvd of The Battle For Citizen Kane. So, as far as difference in disc content, the only thing you miss out on compared to buying the UCE is a dvd of RKO 281 (for those unaware, that's a film dramatization of The Battle For Citizen Kane). In other Best Buy news, people are finally beginning to see Archer Season 1 officially put out. As well, the Amazon pre-order listing has reverted to "Product unavailable" and pre-orders are being delayed. So, I guess that Best Buy Exclusive sticker might be accurate after all, at least for now. Space_Butler fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Sep 13, 2011 |

Breaking Bad - Blu-ray Seasons 1, 2, & 3 are all 1/2 price at Amazon.com right now. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?field-keywords=breaking+bad+blu+ray&url=search-alias%3Daps&x=0&y=0 Yesterday I picked up the Citizen Kane Ultimate Collectors Edition Blu-ray at Best Buy for $29.99 due to sweet-talking a salesperson(actual price was $49.99). It's a 3 disc set loaded with goodies like a production note-book and other collector nonsense. Very pleased I got it for such a ridiculous price. I also picked up Close Encounters of the Third Kind 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition for $14.99!!. And Clockwork Orange Anniversary Edition with booklet for $19.99. I'm a sucker for those booklet shaped, special edition Blu-Ray packages when I catch them on sale.

For me part of the charm of the old movies is the practical effects, the effort someone had to go through to make it work on screen. Throwing CGI everywhere ruins it.

Lucas has enough money. Pirating the versions he won't make available should be legal. But I don't know if they've been upscaled to Blu-Ray quality by anyone.

I don't think that's even possible unless someone transfers an actual print to a digital file (which is probably impossible). I think a lot of the original footage just doesn't exist in good quality.

I posted a while back about one of my Back to the Future BDs being messed up, asking about return/exchange experiences with studios. Well I went through it, basically just filled out a form on Universal's page, filled out and printed a questionnaire they emailed me, and sent it off in a postage paid envelope they sent me. It ended up being free since it was a defect out of the box (vs about $7-8 for user damaged replacements) and overall a pretty painless process. It just took a while, about a month looking at the first email I got. That count as talking about Blu-Rays, right? .And watching through III a few days ago, I got to see this moment in HD!
