Anyone know how the Star Trek TOS blu-rays sold? I just got into Star Trek TNG and I decided to check out the remastered first season and it looks amazing and I'm finding it watchable so far (all factors considered). A little late to the party, I know. I went looking for TNG blu-ray information and it's definitely in the works. A four-episode tester is being put out likely in December. And LeVar Burton put out that positive tweet of when he got a sneak peek at the remaster. Turns out they have to remaster it as well since the show was shot on film, but the effects were done in 480p so it would be a real disservice to just upscale everything (as it would have been for TOS). I'm hoping the tester is well-received and they can go on to full production. Anyway, that's why I ask about the sales of the TOS blu-rays.

I'm kind of curious about the Star Trek TOS blu-rays. Are there any changes made that made fans grumble, or are all the changes good ones?

For those who like Harry Potter, Warner Brothers is selling a lot of different packages that come with various things through their website only: http://www.wbshop.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-WB-Site/default/Page-Show?cid=HP_EXCLUSIVES_LANDING&src=EWBIRHP&adid=0911WBIREml

So I'm guessing the sales isn't something that one would worry about? Still, it's a tremendous undertaking to redo the effects. But I imagine that TNG is the most popular series so it would sell even better than TOS. Anyone who likes TOS first probably likes TNG, but not necessarily the other way around. That's my impression from my generation anyway.

fenix down posted:After watching the entire first season with the enhanced graphics there were only 2 scenes that I can think of that seemed Lucas-ish with the CGI. Most of the time the improvements are very natural and unobtrusive. And even some of the more obtrusive shots are really well done:  Because it's not flashy, and, I believe, they actually used the original shot but just zoomed out and put a digital matte around it.

I feel like getting another animated movie on Bluray soon (Tangled is seriously one of my favorites for how gorgeous it is) Thing is, I can only afford one. What are some good stuff I can get? The Lion King tempts me, but I've seen it a thousand times and it doesn't have as much of a childhood impact to me like other disney movies (Aladdin was way better), and the new Winnie the Pooh might be good if it'll actually come down in price. (last I saw, it was 29.99) Or if there's two films out now I can get for a combined $30, I'd go for it. Already have: Tangled Rango How to train your Dragon Secret of Kells

Maybe give The Illusionist a try? I really enjoyed it even though it is a bittersweet experience. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Illusionist-Blu-ray/20608/#Review (I would recommend The Triplets of Belleville over it but it hasn't received a stateside release yet) Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Sep 23, 2011 |

Wall•E If you don't own that, you're a bad person with thick, gooey black poo poo where your heart should be. e: so out of spite we're watching Jedi on DVD. I worked around the tiny, smooshed frame Lucas worked into the un-hosed-with DVD with my tv's zoom. Only to find that the sound is 2-channel stereo. loving goddamn shitass son of a whore.

What the gently caress? Did he accidentally swap the top/bottom images? The Miramax looks soft and blown out.
